Mount Vernon, NY (Trus Fund Inc.) - Sunday Mar 26, 2006 at 8:00 PM InI Mighty Lockdown will perform at the monthly Free.Da.Mic show hosted by InPDUM (International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement) at Brooklyn's Five Spot.

InI Mighty Lockdown-King Negus and Jolomite (Polo Dada), survivors of the fittest, a fixture of the New York Underground Hip-Hop scene since the early nineties are known for their groundbreaking single Faking Jax, produced by DJ Pete Rock. Their weekly underground performances in New York's East Village have made a recognizable mark on Hip Hop's conscious scene. InI Mighty Lockdown has performed with Yejide The Night Queen, Dead Prez, Breeze Evah Flowing, Tania Guerrera, Juggaknots, Mr. Len, The Roots, and many more.

Their critically acclaimed LP's "The Keepers of The Flame" and "Conquerors" sold through their label Trus Fund Inc. are dominating the new consciousness of Hip-Hop. They are the founders and No 1 in music's newest genre "Rasta Hip-Hop"; Hip-Hop music with Rastafarian inspired lyrics. This conscious genre is now becoming mainstream thanks to InI Mighty Lockdown and groups like I Zion and recently Damian Marley.

Free.Da.Mic is an InPDUM (International People's Democratic Uhuru Movement) organized event. It takes place each month providing the people an opportunity, through art, to speak out against oppression in the African and other communities while also providing a forum where we can begin to organize for freedom.

This art can be reflected through song, dance, spoken word, hip hop, R&B, reggae or pretty much any preferred vehicle which allows a message to reach the people while showcasing talented artists who unite with the focus to take back what is rightfully ours through education and organization of the community.

They ensure that we don't hear messages of struggle or organization for real freedom. None of the money made from records sold that are the creations of our people comes back to benefit our communities, instead the money made is helping to build prisons, military complexes and other institutions of oppression.

What makes FDM so different from other venues, especially those offering open mic/spoken word type atmospheres is that we understand clearly that white power uses our musical forms as part of the counterinsurgency against African and other oppressed peoples and it is our job to counteract this counterinsurgency by enlightening and further educating the people on a political level.

We demand community control of everything from the police to the microphone. Our music must be brought entirely under our own control and used as a tool of organization for the total liberation of Africans and all oppressed people. Come and hear some of the movement's illest artists who said...F*@k a Record Deal.
