Michael Franti is a gifted and much-heralded spoken word artist and
political activist. As leader of the politically and socially-charged
group Spearhead, Franti is at the forefront of
hip-hop's renaissance, expanding the music's boundaries as he draws on
funk and soul-driven beats. Through his music and poetry, Franti
tackles a range of issues--the criminal justice system, corporatization
of our daily lives, AIDS, gay rights, homelessness, the death penalty,
drug addiction and suicide.
