notes
Born to the world August 31, 1977, Brooklyn, NY native BENYBLAQ discovered he had an interest in poetry at the age of 13. Inspired by the revolutionary art form of poetry and spoken word which he calls the "greatest forum of expression"; he decided to give his writing verbal life. BENY would call his writings simple but passionate, shadowing his own life and experiences. In a quest to quench the thirst of cerebral freedom, he has taken his journey and his message to the masses. Beny has performed and featured nationally at various open mic venues and community events. He has conducted writing workshops in various public schools, headlined at the Larry Neal Awarded play "Prison Poetry" at the historical Lincoln Theatre in Washington DC and recently embarked on the NACA Mid-Atlantic College tour. Beny has also been blessed with the opportunity to appear on various radio and TV outlets and has recently made an appearance on HBO’s hit series “THE WIRE”. Inspired by the great poets Sonia Sanchez, Langston Hughes, Maya Angelou, Haki Madhubuti and many others, he proudly walks in the footsteps of those who went before him and knocked down doors for poets and independent artists today. Beny penned the phrase SILENCE IS FORBIDDEN to represent his belief that the current state of the world demands that we can no longer afford to be silent. He believes that unifying through this art form will open the doors for himself as well as other independent artist to realize and manifest their dreams. His mission and passion is to not only write and share his words, but to help create a space for artists to share their art and talent with the world while also living prosperous lives for themselves and generations to come.

I heard your poetry at "Bohemos" in houston around november and it was awesome it inspired me to pursue my passion to keep writing . I too read my poetry that night I was the female that got on stage first it was my first time reading in public it was motivational and challenging at the same time.
This cd is like "conscious poetry" even though that's not a genre of music.
author: MarcThis cd reminds me of lyrics by Dead Prez that goes like this,"Turn off the radio and turn on your mind"(paraphrasing).

Thought provoking, soul touching with a good music feel
author: Poetic Eyes AKA Tim O.This CD is wonderful. I finally popped it in and listened to it in its entirety. The flow and mix of music and spoken word keeps it fresh and makes it a great listen - house or driving. I can really tell that Beny put his soul into every piece and he has some wonderful singers accompanying him. Can't wait till the next one - keep it up and big kudos on this one.

This CD is grrreat! It covers a wide scope of topics from love to politics to the everyday struggle of life. Beny Blaq is a very talented poet. His delivery exudes spiritual strength and a Brooklyn swagger while his word play soothes your soul. This is definitely one of the best poetry CDs I’ve heard in a while.

Something for everyone
author: DARIUS AKA JRThis cd encompasses something for EVERYONE from self discovery in the intro "Silence is Forbidden" to the realization of your surroundings in "War Report" or "Walk on Bye" and covers just saying hello to someone that could be special in "Mocha Hut Blues". He shows versatility in capturing the many forms of feelings of Love in "My First Love" and "Old Type of Love". I wanted to give this cd 4 stars because I want Beny Blaq to do another album and make it better than this one...if that is possible but I have great confidence with his talent he will not disappoint his fans because he stays true to himself, which shows throughout his album. All the poems are my favorites but "My First Love" has got to be the complete thought of what TRUE LOVE is and I dont think anyone has said it better. Great job BENY...and please keep up the great work.
The whole CD is REAL TALK!
author: AngelThis CD is a MUST HAVE...if you have ever struggled in any area in your life! Track #1 will get you through it! It is extremely informative on what is going on around us from the way we spend our money to what we can do to help those that we pass on the streets with our silent judgments of who we think they are...but like the artist said SILENCE IS FORBIDDEN! You know how you get a CD and you skip over some songs cause..they just don't do it for ya'? Well, this ain't that kinda CD! I wish I could do a review on each song, but it said keep it short...ENJOY!!!

This cd is banging! I got a chance to meet Beny and he is such a strong indivual with his words. I would recommend this cd to anybody. This cd is a must have if you enjoy good poetry. Much love to Beny Blaq!
Mind awakening poet
author: Veil AKA PhilosophatThe cd is absolutely outstanding! The poems are thought provoking and suprisingly very spiritual. I feel that the artist opened up his soul to the listener and personally invited the listener to view the art from a very real perspective. Big ups to beny blaq a certain future star on the rise.
