Rap impresario and all-round media mogul Russell Simmons brings back his DEF POETRY JAM show for a second season with this release. Originally shown on HBO, DEF POETRY JAM aims to bring some highly talented, but rarely televised, performers onto the screen, affording the artists precious airtime that would most likely be unavailable to them otherwise. Shot at The Supper Club in New York, host Mos Def brings performers such as Danny Hoch, Jamie Foxx, Erykah Badu, and many others to the stage, allowing them a precious opportunity to lay down some prescient urban poetry.
