Umar Bin Hassin was once part of the Last Poets, a group whose incendiary rhetoric was backed by African percussion and preceded the hip-hop generation's Afrocentric quips. Hassin now works solo, and his latest release has several updates/remakes of Last Poets staples, including two versions of "This Is Madness." Producer Bill Laswell recruited two Parliament/Funkadelic instrumentalists, bassist Bootsy Collins and keyboardist Bernie Worrell, plus many other fine players, and virtually recreated The Last Poets tapestry, except that this time there's an electronic overlay as well as a percussive one. Hassin's voice hasn't been dulled by the years and seems more enraged and angered at the nation's racial and social injustices. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
