Understand what black is

"Hip-hop progenitors bounce back wiser ... Compelled by a new civil rights struggle, the Last Poets' first album in over 20 years marks 50 years since their founding. It finds two of the outfit's members - Abiodun Oyewole and Umar Bin Hassan - musing long and deep to reggae backings, courtesy of Brit producers Nostalgia 77 and Prince Fatty and Poets percussionist Baba Donn Babatunde. This sonic kismet is so obvious, it's a marvel the Poets never took to reggae previously".

"Over earthy, reggae-inspired beats, the Poets tackle the same issues they've addressed in their poetry for decades: racism, violence, inequality, oppression. But they deliver their message with a conviction that betrays any world-weariness".
