Barak Yalad: Growing up in Roxbury and Springfield, MA, and now residing in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Barak Yalad has experienced first-hand the challenges facing youths in inner-cities. Indeed, his music can be described as poetry of the street. Barak released his first full-length album, A Loss For Words, in November 2007 on Rawkus Records, the same record label that jumpstarted the careers of other socially conscious hip-hop artists like Talib Kweli and Mos Def. A Loss For Words has been acclaimed for its rugged and raw style and its hearkening back to the politically aware hip-hop of an older generation, rather than the materialism of much of today’s hip-hop. Most recently, Barak opened for KRS-One during the College Music Journal Festival in New York, and had his song “Bewitched” added to the official mix-tape of the Boondocks cartoon on the Cartoon Network.
