The Last Poets started as a group of young Harlem activists creating art in the wake of the assassinations of Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1968. Stripped of prominent leaders, and voices to advocate on their behalf, the collective used their own. Combining sharp verses with Afro-roots percussion, they quickly went from performing on street corners to releasing highly coveted albums nationwide. Credited as the first group to transform poetry into rap, their influence can be traced to just about every hip-hop group performing today.
B-Side is delighted to welcome Abiodun Oyewole, Umar Bin Hassan, and percussionist Baba Donn Babatunde into the studio for a night of poetry, rhythms, and conversation.

I am from Harlem, born and raised in Striver's Row. Brother Abiodun described us back then to a T. We WERE haughty. We were self made success stories on EVERY BLOCK, and were reliant on our unity and independence. We were Black and Proud to BE Black, and not afraid to show it to the world.

The Last Poets, these Brotha's have NEVER missed a beat!!! I love their articulations, words they used, I didn't understand I looked them up, their account of history is as accurate as it comes. They opened my eyes to reality & I in turn opened the eyes of my children regardless what they were taught in history in the public schools in this corporation of businesses, they call The united states of america.
