Ah, shit. Break out the incense and chewsticks! Looks like Uncle Rush is getting back in the def poetry business with the a new HBO series, Brave New Voices, premiering next Sunday.

 

According to a press release, “The show chronicles the lives of teen

poets from seven cities around the nation as they prepare to compete in

Youth Speaks’ annual Brave New Voices Festival. It’s narrated by Queen

Latifah. Idris Elba hosts the finals.“

 

God, I hope Lauryn Hill doesn’t make a cameo.
