Cruel and Unusual Punishment:
A Hip-Hop Compilation to Abolish the Death Penalty


LOG ON TO WWW.BACKOWALLMUSICSTORE.COM TO BUY THE ALBUM IN MP3 FORMAT NOW!!!!!


"Cruel and Unusual Punishment" - the album, was produced by the Welfare Poets. The album was also sponsored by The Shield Magazine out of Hunter College in NYC, who was critically important with getting immediate access to various artists on the compilation. This Hip Hop CD compilation features some of the most prolific Hip Hop emcees from around the country (and world for that matter). Many of the artists that appear on the album have for years been cultural workers doing the necessary work to abolish the death penalty and make real change happen.


 Album features The Welfare Poets - Rayzer, Hec-1 and Jamaki-Bo with music from Djibril and Jamaki (all NYC); Abiodune (The Last Poets - NYC); Hicoup (NJ); Blitz (Ghana/NYC); Hasan Salaam (NJ); Chosan (Sierra Leone/London/Brooklyn); Ill Sonic (NYC); Son of Nun (Baltimore); A-Alikes (NYC); True-N-Livin (NJ); Warclub (Cali); Jav'lin (Amsterdam); InI Mighty Lockdown (New Rochelle); Rebel Diaz - Rodstarz and Lah Tere (Chicago); Wordplay (Ancient Tongues Spoken Urban - Cincinnati); JuggaBlak (Mount Vernon); LemBoogie (Mount Vernon); Block McCloud (Brooklyn); Bolos (Brooklyn/Florida); Truth Universal (New Orleans) and Wise Intelligent (Poor Righteous Teachers – NJ).


 The CD was influenced by the need to dismantle the inhumane death penalty system. Murder is barbaric on all fronts, in particular state sponsored. The death penalty is both racist and classist in its intention and application. The most important factor when determining whether someone is executed is the race of the victim. Additionally, the wealth of the defendant is directly related to whether he/she receives their due process. Death row continues to be filled with poor defendants who cannot afford their fair day in court, guaranteed in this country's constitution. These defendants are left virtually defenseless with less than incompetent attorneys against a system that is designed to murder them. This CD is done in the memory of Hasan Shakur, Frances Newton, Shaka Sankofa, Tookie Williams, Dominique Green and everyone put to death by this demonic country and their broken system of justice.
