Summary: The Ride or Die Project is a multi-platform exploration inspired by women who live by a ride-or-die philosophy. This mixtape* was inspired by one of those platforms, the play OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME by Amanda Parris. OTHER SIDE OF THE GAME is a meeting place between the urgent activism of the 1970’s and today’s unapologetic Hip Hop generation. At this meeting place we find the stories of women. Women who organize communities, protect loved one’s and battle institutions, living each day by a ride-or-die philosophy. The play explores the stories of several women as they sit in the waiting room of the Don Jail; hovering in the limbo between freedom and imprisonment.
