BBC West Midlands broadcast on JEM's own Kenny Baraka's The Rememberers.


While we wait patiently for our very own Kenny Baraka to "exorcise a narrative demon" and contribute his much respected words of wisdom to our humble pages, I thought I'd first share this recent news story on his live hip-hop, science fiction graphic novel, The Rememberers; which is written and performed by Kenny using rap narration, music and projected comic's as illustration.
