Hustlers Convention - Live

Brought to life by Lightnin' Rod a.k.a Jalal of the Last Poets and backed by music provided by Kool and The Gang among others.

To mark the Hustlers Convention 40th anniversary, godfather of Rap Jalal, of The Last Poets, takes to the stage alongside the Jazz Warriors International Collective to bring this incredible story to life. It will be the first time ever the album has been performed since its release.

With support from the UK's finest spoken word artist – a student of Jalal and the late Gil Scott Heron – Malik and The O.G's, this is a not-to-be missed event for all fans of Hip-Hop, spoken word and Jazz alike.

The performance comes as a new feature documentary, due for release next year, is in production on the pioneering role Jalal, and Hustlers Convention, have played in the history of rap.
