The first time I ever heard Michael Franti was when he was in a group called the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy. I was listening to college radio (stcc) it was 1992 and Public Enemy and Boogie Down Produtions were kinda winding down. But then I heard the Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy and they blow me away. The whole c.d. is great. Michael Franti hit me off with so much info I kept rewinding the c.d. over and over. His lyrics on this c.d. also stand the test of time. You know what they say "the more things change the more they stay the same." Anyways I kept waiting for another c.d. by these guys but it never happen. Michael Fanti did release a c.d. 5 years later with a group called Spearhead (Home). Spearhead is a great group and you should check them out. But I'm still waiting for the Heroes to return.
