About this item:
"Cruel and Unusual Punishment" was released in February of 2007. It was influenced by the need to combat and dismantle the inhumane death penalty system. The death penalty is both racist and classist in its intention and application. The album was inspired by Hasan Shakur, who was unjustly executed by the state of Texas on August 31st, 2006.
