About Me |
|
| Born in and influenced by the HipHop era, yet at the same time always acknowledging the foundations laid down by fore runners and trail blazers such as Langston Hughes, Amiri Baraka, Gil Scott Heron, The Last Poets, Sonya Sanchez, Nikki Geovani, Jaki Terry, Saul Williams, Jessica Care Moore, Talaam Acey, E The Poet Emcee, ATM, etc... Slangston Hughes attempts to bridge the gap between the legacy paved through the Harlem renaissance and black arts movement with the innovative but yet rebellious spirit of HipHop culture, evoking the eternally emerging essence of the town crier or "street poet." | |
