Katie and Yves are joined by journalist and author of “When Crack Was King,” Donovan X. Ramsey. They discuss his new book, the media’s role in exacerbating the devastating effects of crack, how hip-hop artists memorialized the early days of crack in their rhymes, and the unhinged PSAs put out during the crack era. (Ahem, looking at the Partnership for a Drug Free America PSA: “Make no mistake — drug abuse is the new slavery.”) Follow Donovan on X and Instagram @DonovanXRamsey Follow us on Instagram @onthemeshow Email us at hello@ontheme.show
