During this weekend's Record Store Day, Chuck D visited Grimey's in Nashville and spoke about the importance of the arts and local community. (Video below.)

"If the community cannot supports the arts, then the arts cannot support the community.  When it comes down to radio stations and stores like what Grimey's has done, it's all about community..."

"Forget about all this nationalism as far as music and corporations and conglomerates are concerned because it's got to start from home. We want an artist to be able to make a living in their own state area." (transcription via Billboard)
