Free the P
Various Artists
A CD of messages of "freedom and Palestine-lovin' poetry" - a mix of spoken word, rap, and hip-hop from the younger generation of Palestinians.
Free the P features 24 artists speaking and singing to their passion about the struggle of their people facing oppression. Emerging artists such as The Philistines, Suheir Hammad, The N.O.M.A.D.S. share their stories of living in the United States without access to their homeland and their fight for freedom.
Free the P is dedicated to uplifting the voices of oppressed peoples worldwide and illustrates how music can be a vehicle for social mobilization, spreading messages of determination, anger, and hope. Proceeds support Slingshot Hip Hop, a documentary about Palestinian rappers living in Gaza, the West Bank, and Israel.
