Some of you remember
Tim\m West from his time in North Carolina as a college student at Duke University in the early 90\s. Since he\s grown up and gone on to accomplish much--but has never forgotten his roots. Published author, poet, Hip Hop artist, educator, scholar, and activist, are among the titles he claims. Please join us in this exclusive event featuring readings from his new book, Flirting and a live performance of selected work from the new Family Ties release Blakkboy Blue(s). Tim\m is the author of
Red Dirt Revival and released
Songs from Red Dirt on Cellular Records in 2004. We will also be showing clips from
Byron Hurt\s Beyond Beats and Rhymes (PBS) and
Alex Hinton\s Pick Up the Mic (LOGO), both of which feature Tim\m as an artist on the verge of whatever lies next in the Hip Hop landscape.
As there is no charge and this is a CD and book release party, you are encouraged to support the artist. Books are $15, CDs\ $10, and you can get a special discounted package including both for $20. Durham, NC is among the first of Tim\m\s stops on what will be a national book/CD release tour, so let\s make it a success!
