KRS-1, Talib, Prince On New Dr. West CD

Posted over 2 years ago
Dr. Cornel West will be releasing a new cd on June 19th. Dr. West has been previously famous as the author of two important books - Race Matters and Democracy Matters as well as another cd which came out in 2001 - Sketches of My Culture. According to his bio on Hidden Beach :
The grandson of a preacher, West marched as a young man in civil rights demonstrations and organized protests demanding black studies courses at his high school. West later wrote that, in his youth, he admired "the sincere black militancy of Malcolm X, the defiant rage of the Black Panther Party [...] and the livid black theology of James Cone".
He is currently important to his students at Princeton University where he teaches religion. With this background, many are looking forward to his latest cd, which features KRS-One, Prince, Talib Kweli, Andre 3000, Black Thought (of Roots), M-1 (of Dead Prez), and Rah Digga. The new cd is called Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations, and is on a new imprint of Hidden Beach, called Hidden Beach Forum. Hidden Beach Forum claims to be "a label designed to prompt discussion, debate, and evaluation of the human condition." Dr. West's new cd is the first release on the new label.
