The Welfare Poets, (USA)
http://www.welfarepoets.com/

The Welfare Poets are a collective of activists, educators, and artists together since 1990. Through teaching residencies and workshops, through activism around community struggles and through sharp-edged performances of music that incorporates Hip Hop, Bomba y Plena, Latin Jazz and other rhythms, the Welfare Poets bring information and inspiration to those facing oppression and those fighting for liberation.

Many have said the days of classic Hip Hop albums are over, gone forever, but The Welfare Poets
with ”Warn Them” have rhymed to differ. With timeless songs, intense lyrics and amazing beat
production, The Welfare Poets continue to remain urgently relevant in a time where so many artist
sells the soul of their music to the highest bidder.
