Details:
A Princeton professor, theologian, activist and prolific author, Dr. Cornel West has presented the facts of today's world in terms and forums not only directed toward academia, but also to those of us in everyday life who actually live it. For years he has been unrivaled as a compelling speaker, dynamic philosopher and enlightening activist. Dr. West's best-selling books "Race Matters" and " Democracy Matters" (only two in an amazing array), brought into the national spotlight his ongoing mission for racial equity and recognition of democracy as a spiritual force.


What does a man such as this do when he enters into the realm of music for the masses? Well, first he partners with other like-minded individuals who share not only vision, but creative drive. " Four Black Men Who Mean Business (4BMWMB )" is the moniker adopted by the union formed when Dr. West, Mike Dailey, Clifton West and Derek "DOA" Allen came together with the intention of presenting the strength of Black culture's inherent treasure couched in that most powerful of all forces, Black music.

Rhythm and blues with a hip-hop flavor all wrapped up with dance tracks and strong hooks, " Street Knowledge " most definitely merits the label of "strong, contemporary musical release". However, that's not where the integrity of this project ends. Over, under, through and around the music is woven an astounding collection of topics, teachings, musings, anthems and lyrics that challenges anyone listening to remain unaffected.

Presented in the impelling voices of Cornel West, Tavis Smiley, Michael Eric Dyson, Dr. Marcia Dyson, Derek "DOA" Allen, Killa Mike and others, the entertainment, education and thought-provoking impact of " Street Knowledge " is infectious, contagious and addictive.
