Taking the band's blazing, urgent and infectious sound, 'Sons' flits between blues-heavy rock, run through with Mayfield-esque vocals to James Brown style funk and soul and, and takes it to dizzying new heights.

The Last Poets, who are considered the birthplace of rap (Chuck D), return with their fist album in 20 years, ‘Understand What Black is’.

Born in the wake of the civil rights movement, Harlem’s Last Poets are influential spoken word artists, poets and commentators who fuse politically outspoken lyrics with inventive percussion.

Their 1970 album is considered the first hip hop album of all time.Produced by Ben Lamdin (Nostaglia 77) and Brighton legend Prince Fatty, whose speciality is traditional reggae and dub, ‘Understand What Black Is’ is a ten-track album which speaks of a revolutionary struggle defined by both race and identity, that has never sounded more relevant.

Internationally revered poet, writer and socio-political commentator Benjamin Zephaniah returns to Trinity on his Spring tour of the re-release of his: Revolutionary Minds album.

Benjamin Zepahaniah is widely celebrated as one of the greatest poets of his generation, Zephaniah is strongly influenced by the music and poetry of Jamaica and what he calls “street politics”. His poetry, books and plays have captivated hearts and minds, fuelling imaginations and winning him a legion of fans all over the world.

Though his music is lesser known than his written work it is no less fervent. Created alongside his accomplished producer and collaborator The Sea, Revolutionary Minds album is a deep selection of dub-reggae juggernauts, the essence and style of which fully reinforce the messages projected through Zephaniah’s powerful lyrics

At a seemingly tumultuous and divisive period in our society, Revolutionary Minds revitalises the neglected art of the protest song. By reviving this discipline at this particular point in time, Zephaniah shines a critical light on to a range of activity that currently is taking place around the globe, providing a strong voice to the disenfranchised and displaced.

Revolutionary Minds is a chance to experience Zephaniah’s innovative talent in full force; a triumphant creation of emotional songs that highlight the poignant global issues faced by society today.

Maverick Sabre is an Irish-English rapper, singer-songwriter and guitarist with a style that blends R&B, soul, folk and post-dubstep. Born Michael Stafford in Hackney, London, but raised in County Wexford, Ireland, Sabre made his name through collaborations with numerous artists in both the UK and Ireland before launching on to the national stage with his debut solo single “Look What I Done” in 2011.

Maverick first made his mark with an appearance on the 2008 album Sense The Terror, produced by Terawrizt and Nu-Centz. Positive reviews lead to numerous guest spots with established underground artists, and by 2010 he had worked with the likes of Chase and Status, Professor Green and Jermicide & Danny Digg, while also releasing his first mix-tape, The Travelling Man. The Travelling Man featured the song “Sometimes,” which came with a music video included. This further raised his profile. His first official single “Look What I Done” was released in 2011 and he promoted the single with appearances on Later... with Jools Holland and on Chris Moyles' national radio show.

As he neared the completion of his first solo studio album, he released the single “Let Me Go,” which reached No. 16 on the UK singles chart. Maverick continued his move into the mainstream with the hotly anticipated release of his debut album, Lonely Are The Brave, in early 2012. The album reached No. 2 in the UK and Scottish album charts and No. 3 in Ireland. Two further singles were released from the album, including “I Need.”

Maverick Sabre has established himself as a serious solo artist to watch after years of success in collaborations with a who's who of the UK hip-hop, R&B and dub-step scenes. With his combination of folk guitars, pounding bass beats, haunting vocals and political rapping, Maverick takes inspiration from the likes of Bob Dylan, Tupac and Bob Marley. He is currently signed to Mercury Records and has recently supported artists such as Lloyd Banks, The Game and Lethal Bizzle. He is also a former flatmate of Plan B, a good friend who helped him get his start in London after hearing his early work. Maverick is a regular at the UK summer festivals, with appearances at 2013's V Festival, Radio 1's Big Weekend and Shakedown Festivalamong many others.
