[+]Straight from the streets of Los Angeles notorious Skid Row (Americas homeless capital) where they have been working with the homeless for the pass 2 years, Mercy Diamonds, a producer outta West Palm Beach Florida, aka (West Nam), Barabbas a former virgin, records artist outta the West Indies by way of Baytown Texas, aka little Beirut, and Detox a Puerto Rican outta the Slumz of Hawaii, comprise the group known as the Slum Peasants, “We are G’z whose mission is to continue what Tookie Williams first intended when they started the La gangs. That mission includes building, and protecting our communities. With this in mind the peasants brings you street tales straight out of their respected slum. Growing up, their environment has continually reminded them that they are peasants, the Slum peasants did not grew up with stability, most peasants have to move regularly when times get hard and they cant afford to pay the bills, from ghetto to ghetto, slum to slum, moving laterally but rarely horizontally, Most peasants have dreams of getting out the ghetto, these peasants dream of getting the ghetto out its poor state, but in order to get oneself out of the condition they are in, one has to recognize and be truthful about their condition, therefore the Slum peasants have decided to use their experiences as a spring broad to propel them and other’s out of their hopeless state. Most are called peasants or ghetto bastards because of poverty, absentee fathers, and the lack of positive male role models just to name a few. Yes the peasants have accepted who they are and have also recognized through various avenues, that “there are peasants on every continent of the world, therefore our family is world wide”. It is with this in mind that the peasants gives you Hip Hop Soul; a brand of hip hop straight out the slumz, it’s out of the slumz so it’s durty, gritty, hard, angry, yet love prevails in the peasants music; As it is indicated by the title of their debut album titled Truth ‘N’ Love. The Peasants music is straight from the soul, music that uplifts and leads the soul into its intended destiny. The Slum Peasants seeks to help free all peasants in America and around the world from personal, systematic, and individual oppression; through their music the Peasants believe this is attainable. Don’t sleep the Peasants are on the move; EXODUS: “moving the poor conditions out of the people; then out of the slumz, a fatherless and widowed state is the curse of the slumz, yet the widows are the heroes of the slumz, now children are becoming the hero’s of the slumz as they struggle to take care of each other”.
Slum Pez! [-]
