In this episode of the Buss It Down Podcast, we sit down with Khalid Alexander, Founder & President of Pillars of the Community (San Diego), for a powerful conversation about police reform, criminalization, and how communities can create real solutions for people impacted by the punishment system.

We recorded this inside Pillars’ upgraded facility and discussed how the system is built to document the worst parts of someone’s life—criminal history, photos, labels—while ignoring the progress people make through rehabilitation, education, work, and community leadership.

We also talk about:

• What meaningful reform could look like
• Why language and framing matter in court and public perception
• How Pillars of the Community focuses on community building, civic engagement, and policy work to decrease criminalization

This is a high-energy, high-frequency conversation that will challenge how you think about justice, accountability, and humanity.

In this episode of the Buss It Down Podcast, we sit down with DJ Birdy Bird — one of San Diego’s most iconic and respected DJs — for a high-level conversation packed with history, culture, and real-life perspective from coming up in Southeast San Diego to becoming a name that rings bells across the city. 

We talk how he built his reputation, what he looks for before he co-signs an artist or song, the craziest moments he’s dealt with while DJ’ing, and the real lessons he learned the hard way — the type of game younger DJs and artists NEED to hear. 

We also get into the fun side: the best taco shop debate (and what’s in his order), plus legacy talk — what DJ Birdy Bird wants his name to represent when it’s all said and done.
