From Speak Out!:
Jeb Middlebrook kicks off The Segregated City Tour
| ||
Few performers dare to openly discuss, let alone plan a tour around, class and race dynamics that play quietly in the background of their nightly sets.
Enter Jeb Middlebrook aka Jus Rhyme, an unabashed hip-hop artist, community organizer, and Ph.D. who was born in the 70s, raised during Reganomics and NAFTA, came-of-age during 9/11 and the War on Terror, and came-into-his-own during the Tea Party and Occupy movements.
This Ph.D./MC boasts industry credentials including MTV, NBC, ABC, VH1 and the Associated Press, but for this tour he is going consciously grassroots. With one Black man in the White House, 1 out of every 6 people across race in the Poor House, and 1 out of every 100 people in the Big House, Jus seeks to make sense of our collective struggles and relationships across race and class, through music.
His offering: The Segregated City Tour: 10 Shows. 10 Days. The 10 Most Segregated Cities in the United States.
