Hidden Beach Forum has released a single by Talib Kweli from Never Forget: A Journey of Revelations, a politically charged album released in partnership with Dr. Cornel West’s Black Men Who Mean Business. Called “Bushanomics,” the song criticizes President George W. Bush’s response to Hurricane Katrina and features interjections from Dr. West like “We go from the bling-bling to let freedom ring.”
A professor of religion at Princeton University, Dr. West will participate in the Essence Music Festival Empowerment Seminar Series in New Orleans this Sunday. He and other Never Forget collaborators will discuss the topic “Hip-Hop Moving to A Higher Ground.”
