Black Power Mixtape Concert

Comma Bookstore presents our Juneteenth celebration; 'The Black Power Mixtape Concert', featuring ' The Last Poets' and Flint raised hip hop and spoken word artist, Mama Sol.

Before RAP knew its name, there was a group of ambitious young men who reflected the harsh spirit of their times and whose work remains prophetic and inspirational today. The Last Poets started out in the late sixties, speaking out as few other musical groups had, or have since, about racism, poverty and other African American and societal concerns. RAPPERS of the civil rights era, The Last Poets’ charge has been taken up by many contemporary artists who have felt the legendary group’s influence.
