Donald Trump has made America reflect on the Muslim immigrant experience: Some have chosen to side with Trump in his criticism on the rate of Muslim immigration, while others have embraced immigrants with open arms. Because neither group has much information on the lives of American Muslims, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is bringing together a group of Muslim alumni and students for a lecture titled “Being Muslim in America (And MIT) in 2016” to explain how recent events have shaped public opinion of American Muslims and how people can combat existing discrimination.

When beast coast rap trio Flatbush Zombies released its first mixtape, “D.R.U.G.S,” in 2012, it was everything you would have expected out of a project with such a name: Colorful, cocky and festive.

I didn’t know I was going to have to wait three years for it.
