This poem by Minister Faust examines the Africentric dissatisfaction -- even disgust -- with having powerful art forms turned into safe, commercialized pop culture, and employs the language and rhythm of its subject matter to do so.
Taken from Mahogany Public JALI Volume 1. JALI is the debut recording of Mahogany Public a side project conceptualized and spearheaded by Edmonton hip-hop group Politic Live. Produced by Edmonton-based urban music producer Oozeela (PIK/Windward Caribbean Kulture), JALI is a well rounded fusion album that meshes Reggae, Ska, Soca, Jazz, Hip-Hop, Afro-beat, and Spoken Word.
