In his new Irony on 23rd music video, Draze, offers the nation a front row seat to one of the countries most heated debates concerning the impact of recreational cannabis retail outlets on communities. Set to the soulful sounds of rhodes keys and a live saxophone Irony On 23rd captures the thoughts, pain, and reactions of a community experiencing gentrification. Through the power of story, Draze paints a picture of how numerous ironies appear to meet at the intersection of 23rd and Union. The storyline focuses on Uncle Ike's, one Washington's States top Pot shops which has moved within a few feet of one of the communities most prominent African American Churches.

I'm feeling real heavy after watching this. One day I will explain the irony to my children which will require me to explain how we and the elders did not have the tools, skills, or wherewithal to fight for and advocate [well] for this community on their behalf. I'm not saying that what we have done and are currently doing is at a loss but -- it seems to be now or never. Our only options appear to be to just, figure out how to exist within existing structures and frameworks OR move...out. But perhaps I am wrong. Maybe Draze, your music can be a catalyst. But this wealth thing... this power thing... this "policy" things is so big. As you can see, the planning for light rail extensions are decades out. Can we be so mindful, diligent, and selfless, communally, in order to slay that type/ this type of goliath? I hope so. And I'm in. The building continues... Thank you for truth music.

+Black Girl -N- the Pacific NW Truer words may not have been spoken. I did hear from Draze that the law suit has been granted an injunction, which I think means they have a case to move forward against Uncle Ikes.

Watched this two years ago and am going back again. This is still so relevant. LOVE the sax in this and lyrics. Beautifully written & produced. I taught up the street from this corner for years and even notice one of my former students in your video. :) Everything you say resonates, on so many levels.

I remember telling my girlfriend all the rich stories about where I was born and raised. Then 5 yrs. later getting a chance to visit. The confusion on her face, was as astonishing as mine! The WHOLE neighborhood, where you used to see black vibrance, life, and kids playing double-dutch or dancing and playing, was replaced by Volvo's and white 40-50 y.o.'s walking poodles! My Mom warned me of gentrification 25 yrs. ago. Thanks for telling this truth Draze.

One, how are there not more views, and two how are there any dislikes? Man 23rd and Union had all the shops when i was a teenager, used to get Philly's Best like once a week, can't believe its gone and it turned into this....
@osakabinladen
@osakabinladen 8 лет назад
true. I miss the cheesesteaks. But how long has Phillys Best been gone? At least a few years before Ikes ever popped up. But hey lets hate Ikes for everything!
