New Podcast Umar bin Hassan of The Last Poets 51
This show, we bring you Umar bin Hassan of The Last Poets. Umar is a long-running and key member of the legendary group, and we talk to him about everything he's seen. From his youthful adventures as a shoeshine boy to being forced out of his hometown on pain of death; from being a veritable prince of Harlem to his battles with drug addiction; from Gil Scott-Heron to Miles Davis -- we travel through it all.

If you enjoy our interview, you can check out annotated show excerpts. You can also see Umar's verified Rap Genius account.
