Although she's been writing and singing since childhood in Philly, Rashidah's in league with her Philly sister's Jill Scott and India Iree.Folk songs of love, a cry for male/female understanding. Rashidah is just now breaking out after marriages and child rearing. We expect a genius is at work and about to come forth. Hold onto your hats! Marvin is known to be overwhelming, but Rashidah holds her own with solid lyrics and vocals. You will be shocked at what you hear, the combination of poetry, lyrics, vocals and music. With only his poetic voice, San Francisco poet laureate emeritus devorah major went into a swoon when he read to her graduate students at the California College of the Arts recently.When poet/critic Bob Holman called Marvin X the USA's Rumi, Marvin says it is one of the highest honors any poet can receive. Rumi, of course, lived around 1344 in Persia, but is the best selling poet in America. Marvin is probably the lowest selling, but sales have nothing to do with the quality of his work.
