Clement Mallory / Universal Mathematics

Clement Mallory's The Future of Poetry: A poet of modest means and boundless ambition, Clement Mallory's command of the English language and the nuances of spoken expression covers the emotional waterfront. This recording, like most of his work, explores themes of money, power and family in stances of shifting vulnerability, urgency and wit, heavily dosed with homages to poetic role models Amiri Baraka and Sonia Sanchez. The beats produced by Maurice Wiggins, JG and Walter Jones switch between edgy militant tracks and old-school funk grooves. - Yes Weekly
