BARAK YALAD

Barak Yalad: Growing up in Roxbury and Springfield, MA, and now residing in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, Barak Yalad has experienced first-hand the challenges facing youths in inner-cities. Indeed, his music can be described as poetry of the street. Barak released his first full-length album, A Loss For Words, in November 2007 on Rawkus Records, the same record label that jumpstarted the careers of other socially conscious hip-hop artists like Talib Kweli and Mos Def. A Loss For Words has been acclaimed for its rugged and raw style and its hearkening back to the politically aware hip-hop of an older generation, rather than the materialism of much of today's hip-hop. Most recently, Barak opened for KRS-One during the College Music Journal Festival in New York, and had his song "Bewitched" added to the official mix-tape of the Boondocks cartoon on the Cartoon Network.



BARAK YALAD has opened up for several major label acts such as The Roots,Mos Def,Les Nubian's,Zap Mama,Saian Supa Crew,and Sniper. He was also a featured artist at: Logan's and the Zone Night Club in Springfield,MA, Club Rare and Club Speed in New York,NY,The Hip Hop Showcase 2005 in Chicopee,MA.
