The Last Poets ~ New album ~ Understand What Black Is ~ Out 18th May

'On the 50th anniversary of the band’s inception at an event in Harlem, NY to commemorate Malcolm X’s birthday on 19 May 1968, influential spoken word artists, poets and commentators The Last Poets are set to make a glorious and relevant return with their first album in over 20 years, ‘Understand What Black Is’. Produced by Ben Lamdin (Nostaglia 77) and Brighton legend Prince Fatty, ‘Understand What Black Is’ is a ten-track album which speaks of a revolutionary struggle defined by both race and identity, that has never sounded more relevant. The new album 'Understand What Black Is" will be released 18th May 2018 by UK label Studio Rockers on double LP and CD.' https://www.youtube.com/w...iXcjCKr6zs

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

NorthC	^ I like the music, but from The Last Poets I expect more than a nursery-rhyme.

RJOrion	The Last Poets = the rightful forefathers to hiphop acts like Public Enemy, Nas, Common, WuTangClan and others...
