Award-winning poet and acclaimed writer Dean Atta released his new poetry EP Love or Money about a week ago and has already been mentioned by several media sources, including a review by MTV. With all this attention, it'd be easy to forget that this is a poetry EP and not a chart-selling music compilation.

"Play Nice" is the latest offering from Chicago spoken word standout Harold Green, III, whom we first featured in 2011. Once again teaming with director Sanicole (who shot Green's masterful Honey Moon, a collabo with soul standout B.J. The Chicago Kid), "Play Nice" is a gritty reminder of the dark realities many face. Unafraid, Green claps back at life's grim circumstances: "I hope these words bust yo' skull like a lead pipe." Peep the video below.

Renowned writer, performer and poet Dean Atta opened many an eye and gained much attention with his recently penned poem "I Am Nobody's Nigger"; inspired by the [much delayed] sentencing of Stephen Lawrence's murderers, and the discovery that the n-word was the last the teenager heard before being stabbed to death in a racist attack almost 19 years ago.
