Cruel and Unusual Punishment was inspired by Texas death row inmate and activist Hasan Shakur (Derrick Frazier). This warrior struggled not only to save his own life, but the lives of any and everyone on death row in the united states. He was unjustly executed by the barbaric state of Texas on August 31st 2006.

"Cruel and Unusual Punishment" - the album, was produced by the Welfare Poets. The album was also sponsored by The Shield Magazine out of Hunter College in NYC, who was critically important with getting immediate access to various artists on the compilation. This Hip Hop CD compilation features some of the most prolific Hip Hop emcees from around the country (and world for that matter). Many of the artists that appear on the album have for years been cultural workers doing the necessary work to abolish the death penalty and make real change happen. Participating artists: Hasan Shakur -- His song -- Gots To Let You Know was created before he was railraoded by the Texas system of injustice; The Welfare Poets - Rayzer, Hec-1 and Jamaki-Bo with music from Djibril and Jamaki (Harlem, BX and BK); Abiodune (of The Last Poets- NYC); Hicoup (NJ); Blitz (Ghana/NYC); Hasan Salaam (NJ); Chosan (Sierra Leone/London/NYC); Ill Sonic (Harlem); Son of Nun (Baltimore) A-Alikes (NYC); True-N-Livin (NJ); Warclub (Cali/Phili); Jav'lin (Amsterdam); InI Mighty Lockdown (New Rochelle); Rebel Diaz - Rodstarz and Lah Tere (Chi); Wordplay (Cincinatti); JuggaBlak (Mount Vernon); LemBoogie (Mount Vernon); Block McCloud (Brooklyn); Bolos (NYC/Florida); Truth Universal (New Orleans) and Wise Intelligent (of Poor Righteous Teachers - NJ).
