WHY ARTIST DON'T SPEAK OUT MORE!!!

While a student at Howard University in DC I worked for Russell Simmons as his regional promoter for Public Enemy. PE was very outspoken about the Hip Hop's generation struggle to uplift the Black Race and Justice. On CNN, the Rev Al Sharpton says the recent active youth movements over Jena 6, Wilson's oral sex jailing, and return of the nooses represents the civil rights concerns of todays Hip Hop generation, not his. He says the fans are on point, but the Artist need to catch up and get with the program! That is the very reason I got involved with Politics. As an artist, you are restricted on how, what, when and where you can speak out on issues. As a producer not tied to any label, I try to advocate Hip Hop's voice in political circles. I can speak on the problems and issues without wondering if the industry will black ball me. I joined with a very outspoken culture icon of the 60's and creator of the DC Soul Music scene. His name is Terry Huff of Special Delivery (www.myspace.com/mrterryhuff). We did what we do best, we made music about the issues of Justice! The name of the song is You Don't Know Me aka A Ballard For a Real Nigga.



"Justice is linked, both etymologically and conceptually, to the idea of justification: having and giving decisive reasons for one’s beliefs and actions. So, attempts to understand justice are typically attempts to discover the justification – the source or basis – of justice, and therefore to account for (or disprove) its overwhelming importance."
