D Nice: Taking out you suckas

Punk Montage

Afro Punk

Afro Punk, the movement sparked by the movie, blazed through Brooklyn this weekend as part of their 3rd annual Music & Film festival. The festival continues through the holiday weekend and includes performances by Game Rebellion, my new favorite band The Smyrk, and Suffrajett among others. The festival's film screenings include music documentaries, chronicles of the Black Panther Party, some little known Black-directed features and, of course, Afro Punk. I popped by their Block Party Sunday and snapped some pics of the party people.

    What a voice on this cat from The Smyrk...reminds me of Corey Glover, the way he sings not like a rock singer, but like a black singer singing rock songs. Dope.
