AFROPUNK became a touchstone of a cultural movement strongly reminiscent of the early days of Hip-Hop. Alternative urban kids across the nation (and across the globe) who felt like outsiders discovered they were actually the core of a boldly innovative fast-growing community. The online members have been the driving force behind the exploding AFROPUNK (AP) culture creating an authentic virtual home in www.afropunk.com and nurturing the music's best and brightest via expansion of the Liberation Sessions a live performance series hosted by Spooner.
