For Episode 84 of STARK REALITY, Host James Dier aka DJ $mall ¢hange rolls the tattered red carpet out to Ridgewood, Queens to interview his friend Selam aka DJ Miss Hap

Selam has been slaying it around Brooklyn and NYC for a decade; great DJ and digger who has deep crates in reggae, disco, soul, and a number of genres. And of course has excellent politics which is why she has been someone he's wanted to interview for a min now. They talk about a number of tings, DJing in NYC these days, working at a record shop (shouts to Record City in BK), ICE arrests, Palestine, the worthless Democratic Party aka controlled opposition, some favorite records like the Love Joys LP on Wackies, etc etc.

Slight delay getting this out since it was recorded on Oct 20th of 2025 so apologies for that. An excellent conversation though so hope you enjoy - cheers!
