Program Title: It's the ReadNex Poetry Squad
Description: Three fifths of the New York-based spoken word hip hop team whipped up one spectacular fundraiser show this summer in Guelph. A long overdue shout out and thanks to them for supporting the "We Are Jose" campaign (wearejose.com) with the talents up their b-boy and b-girl art sleeves!

FreeFlowin, Decora, DJ H20 and myself packed into their tour van after the show to talk about all things at the heart of hip hop - releasing truths through rhythum and words, motivating youth through workshops, towards more women in hip hop, and why there is no hip hop without embracing the most socially disempowered in society with compassion.

It’s never too late to check out great music, so please go visit their blog page: http://daybeforesoundtour.blogspot.com for more tales of the ReadNex Poetry Squad.
