Marshall Hugh isn’t just the frontman of the Marshall Law Band—he’s a movement. From uplifting protestors with music in Seattle’s CHOP zone to crafting a genre-blending hip-hop album that evolved into a Pulitzer-nominated project, Marshall’s story is a blueprint for purpose-driven art. In this episode, we dive into how music became his protest, how love became his compass, and why unity and action remain at the heart of his mission. Whether he's organizing Culture Fest, sharing the stage with activists, or speaking truth through hip-hop, Marshall reminds us: love is the revolution.
