Taylor Mali: Conviction

Queen: X Chromosome

From the minute she parts her lips, you can feel her history of pain and echoes of lessons taught from her time within the Five Percent Nation of Gods and Earths. Factors that helped shape her life, empowered her words and governed her actions. It´s easy to see where she gets the fuel to set fires all over the spoken word scene, forcing her way to the frontline of the poetry movement while others are content to watch from the background. To say she is going to be a force to reckon with would be a serious understatement and an injustice to her work.

Lee Bennett, III: Metafor You

Virgo born in seven- tember 1977 on Earthen planet / Extracted from suspended animation liquefied state and solidified like granite / In the "real world" / Spirits of all sorts visited him at various points / With deep ebony rooted soul he was anointed / Appointed to place his soul in paper pulp, canvassed screen / Cataloging dialogue that takes place in mindscapes and daydreams / He leaned towards art fine, but his spirit caught up with his mind and fell in line / With lines that were free versed and unrehearsed around the eight or ninth grade / Soon the desire for such random renditions began to fade / But ebony rooted soul could not be muted and was awakened from slumber summer before grade twelve / Through soul spelunking, introspective thinking made ill things well / He’d tell of things of which he had no proof / excerpt from bio

Fertile Ground: Seasons Change

From allaboutjazz: Fertile Ground is jazzy, soulful, and diggable, with unrefined worldly sophistication, as their singer exemplifies and the band executes. This gentle sizzling group is the type that would engage an audience leaving them raising their arms up with their smiling faces facing down, or perhaps up, while swinging from side to side, twirling and just getting coolly down to their music. Some, indubitably, with glow sticks in their hands and others with lollipops or baby suckers in their mouth while everyone is surrounded by musky feel good clean smoke. Yeah, good times and good energies with Fertile Ground while planting their own take on themselves, and us all, with dashes of lyrical wisdom to spare and share. Seasons indeed change, the fertility of this musical ground, however, remains. Featuring Raheem Devaughn. CD. 16 tracks. Listen to:
