Any student at SUNY New Paltz can tell you who they are, but this is a group of four socially minded hip-hop poets (and a DJ) who deserve to go farther than the Catskill region.
The ReadNex Poetry Squad makes intelligent hip-hop without the gangsta undertones we find on the radio today. Blending slam poetry with slick rhymes, they bring to light race and street issues without ever mentioning killing cops (which is good, becuase that has a tendency to polarize the audience). Check out their first full-length, Social ISsUe at cdbaby.com.
