Deniro Farrar | The Black Power Freestyle
Deniro Farrar stopped by the Mass Appeal office to spit a new freestyle on the Black Panthers, Martin, Malcolm and Huey.
Deniro Farrar isn't just making music to make music. He has something to say. Nay, he has something to do. He's been surrounded by too much of what's wrong with society to sit quietly, on his hands. If you've seen him live at a show or listened through a project of his, you can feel the energy of a club track but hear poignant messages dealing with inequality, gentrification, and self-improvement. The next step in his mission is the series of projects he'll be releasing titled Red Book. The first volume is available today.
