Sampa The Great is all that and so much more - a prodigious talent with a unique voice and point of view, Sampa is a formidable force in a new wave of artistry in hip hop and taking the world by storm.
A visual artist and musician, Lonnie Holley delivers an extraordinary aural memoir forged in Alabama fire and a life of extreme adversity and perseverance.
