anarchists only, a life motto.
made a choice a long time ago.
no socialists and doublethink
no communists and the harsh boot of statist domination
anarchists only. so others can
call it a pose
deny its adequacy, the autonomy
force others to do…

- ReadNex Poetry Squad
- About Me
- In the midst of social disparity and issues that continue to permeate the culture, the ReadNex Poetry Squad have issued open invitations to all to step outside the prescribed lifestyle matrix and embark on a journey toward progress and greater consciousness with a focus on youth.
This unwavering desire to facilitate social change has culminated in their metamorphic rebirth embodied in their new album, “ Day Before Sound,” set for release in early 2010.
Embracing the eternal tradition of conveying knowledge orally, audiences nationally and around the globe have been captivated and moved by the anti–apathetic stance of the group comprised of four spoken word poets/emcees and one D.J. Through the art of writing and the power of music, esteemed lyrical scholars Decora, FreeFlowin, Jarabe Del Sol, Latin Translator and DJ H20 continue to uplift urban communities with their universal message and sound influenced by Hip-Hop, Soul, Punk,Latin and Caribbean music.
As artists, educators and activists, they seek to alleviate ignorance by tackling various issues including but certainly not limited to race, gender, politics, history, social injustice, gentrification, poverty and segregation. Their evolution into which they are today has been fueled by their experiences as their enlightening and empowering commentary is framed by politics, history and current events.
The title of their new album “Day Before Sound” refers to the moment of clarity that is achieved upon the realization that human beings are all connected and a part of the same frequency, thus becoming a unified sound. Amid increasingly condensed communities that continue to be systematically divided, imagine a time and place where unity exists among all peoples–regardless of political views, gender, religion, sexual orientation, skin color, hair texture, ethnicity and organic composition. This is the destination of “The Day Before Sound.”
Moved by the innocence and fearlessness of youth, the ReadNex Poetry Squad gives youth leverage through their nationally recognized Hip Hop and Spoken Word Poetry Youth Empowerment Workshop that started in Newburgh, NY in 2004. This program is designed to build confidence, give an in depth understanding of poetry and use Hip-Hop as a positive medium for self–expression and public outreach

Afro Punk Festival 2011

As we get ready for our trip to Europe we cant help but think about AfroPunk Festival 2011. This summer we have been blessed with alot of opportunities to perform at festivals up and down the east coast. Each festival is monumental in its own right. But it would truly be an honor to perform at AfroPunk 2011 because the people have power and have a say in who they see perform. AfroPunk is a movement and we all contribute to the success of this movement. As mainstream entertainment flood…

As I sit in this whack cafe tryna snatch some free wifi and starving to death. I go and commit the ultimate sin...... I ordered an egg sandwich....Can someone tell me when they started substituting real eggs for the fake plastic thing I just attempted to consume. Even the bagel tasted like cardboard...When did food stop tasting like food. How did we let this happen??? When did High Fructose Corn Syrup become a main staple in our diet.. I guess its part of the 5 basic food…

no socialists and doublethink

anarchists only. so others can
call it a pose
deny its adequacy, the autonomy
force others to do as they say
end up being just like the system that dominates us all
never a source of freedom of liberation
just
why be punk
without anarchy
nazis do it

The Children of Warhol said… Hey fellas, good luck on your tour!!
Let's meet when you are back in NYC. I have a project/opportunity I'd like to propose.
I wanted to touch base after my gig on the 22nd - but life threw me some curveballs...been offline for some time, didn't realize my personal profile was still live (Dennis Leroy Kangalee) -- was doing impromptu poetry reading and abridged version of my performance piece "Gentrified Minds" with my band, Children of Warhol...
Check out our link; http://www.afropunk.com/profile/TheChildrenofWarhol
I'm going to combine my profiles to avoid confusion... Keep storming the barricades. Let us know when you're back in Brooklyn...Stay in touch
Peace.
