KULTJAH X LEAD BELLY:REPRISE

Before Elvis, Bob Dylan, Hendrix, the Stones, the Beatles, Rock and Roll, Blues, Jazz, Hip-Hop and most forms of American Music....there was Lead Belly. To this day, the man and the myth still remain a mystery amongst the majority of global music lovers, to which he has provided the basis for their existence. About a year or so ago, KULTJAH was blessed with the opportunity (by way of a link up from my comrade Stick Man from DEAD PREZ) to do a collabo Limited Edition T-Shirt with the Lead Belly Foundation. Of course, I jumped at the chance...and the rest is OURSTORY. The project coincided with the release of "Lead Belly...A life in Pictures" which is a VERY well put together book that further explores the simple genius of this folk legend. Along with the historic guidance of Lead Belly's great nephew, Alvin Singh (sup brah...) we produced a nice run of limited edition tees that became collectors items, and an honorable piece of Lead Belly history. I could go on...but trust...research the MAN for yourself....and respect the architect.
