Black Anger

about

Their name alone alerts the masses – Black Anger. The immediate stigma of vernacular volatility fills one’s imagination – could this be yet another rap group emasculated by the public’s desire for drama? Five minutes of conversation with the family production team of Kindu and DJ Sayeed aka Bedroom Produksionz will squelch that thought. Kindu describes their music as "a 50/50 fusion of Hip Hop culture and Black Liberation movement" and explains that they kick knowledge, but do not preach. Kindu, a former b-boy, has been emceeing for nearly half his life. At first the spelling of his name was Ken-do – a play on the name given to him at birth, with the inflection that he ‘can do’ anything. He danced and gripped the mic with equal vitality, but eventually dedicated his time to rhyming. In 1987 he was introduced to Islam, and attributes his initial interest in cultural and spiritual awakening to hearing Chuck D passionately spout the words "Farrakhan’s a prophet that I think you oughta listen to …". While he was in college in the late 80’s, he spent many a long night in the ‘lie-bury’ seeking a greater understanding of himself, while his peers were out masking their sense of self with kegs of beer. Things didn’t change for him overnight, but after many years of study and introspection Ken-do became Kindu – a name meaning soul/soul – or duality of the soul. His birthday is March 22nd – and he attests that everything about him comes in twos. He and Sayeed embrace the philosophies
