    PRESS & COMMENTS

    Monte brings you fire and ice; the burning of his heart is his passion; the coolness, is his reason and insight. His poetry is a welcome ingredient in the mix of Hip Hop. MUMIA ABU-JAMAL (Political prisoner)

    In Coup-like Fashion, Monte’s writing is a Molotov Cocktail headed straight for the government. His words are on fire. BRUCE GEORGE (Co producer of HBO’S “Def Poetry Jam")

    Nobody, can get the people’s attention the way Monte Smith can ! MF GRIMM Poetry abounds in Hip Hop, but rarely does an individual’s work transcend the elements and conventions with a such a gripping emotional and political style. ELEMENTAL MAGAZINE

    If you drew a line from The Watts Prophets through Gill Scott Heron and Public Enemy to Dead Prez, uncompromising wordsmith Monte Smith would be the latest addition to the club. Listen up! US3
