Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry: Season 04

Season four of the improvisational, uninhibited HBO series Def Poetry Jam offers a full ten half hours -- three more than any previous season. Accordingly, this batch of episodes features the series' biggest and most stellar talent lineup, performing their own angry, outrageous, profane, profound, and occasionally uproarious verse compositions. Among those introduced at New York's The Supper Club by host Mos Def are Oscar Brown Jr., Kim Fields, Ruby Dee, Doug E. Fresh, and Mike Epps, not to mention such Def Poetry Jam "regulars" as Bassey Ikpi, Lemon, Georgia Me, Mayda Del Valle, muMs, Ishle Park, and Flowmentalz. Oh, and did we mention Rives, MC Lyte, KRS-One, Floetry, Flaco Navaja, Laura "Piece" Kelly, Triple Black, Jus Cus, Faraji Salim, Dead Prez, Kendra Urdang, Red Storm, Beau Sia, Speech, and on into the night.... ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
