This week, Features Co-Director Marjorie Alford talks with Chicago-based MC Bob Rok. They discuss the history of the name Bob Rok, the skits he creates with Greenlights Music, the ways in which "politics" touch every facet of our lives and why he mirrors that in his music, his upcoming concept album The Automat about labor and workers, and his disdain for AI and wealth hoarding.

"Politics needs dancers. It needs celebration. It needs humor. Your life and your expression is incredibly important and you are a part of that." - Bob Rok

Catch Bob Rok live at Liar's Club, Thursday May 30th at 9 p.m. Or with Greenlights Music at this month's CHIRP Night at the Whistler, Sunday May 19th at 8:30 p.m. Listen to his latest album Memory Lane anywhere you stream music.
