Afronaut returns with poet Suheir Hammad and her powerful message taken from Def Jam Poetry "What I will" armed with some heavyweight remixes for all dancefloors.
Don Surf feat: Chunky, Bruk Rogers, Afronaut, iMantus & Reon Vanger take care of the Bruk / Broken Beats / Breaks run of things for the heads, while Wez Whynt, Mark Force & Blak N Spanish provide the four to the floor for the House dance crew.

Originally released 2011 on Stalwart Records, France, now digitally released with fresh new mixes for 2025.

Suheir Hammad is a Palestinian-American poet, author and political activist who was born on October 1973 in Amman, Jordan to Palestinian refugee parents and immigrated with her family to Brooklyn, New York City when she was five years old.

She is the author of breaking poems, recipient of a 2009 American Book Award, and the Arab American Book award for Poetry 2009. Her other books are ZaatarDiva, Born Palestinian, Born Black and Drops of This Story. Her work has been widely anthologized and her produced plays include “Blood Trinity” and “breaking letter(s),” as well as the libretto for the multimedia “Re-Orientalism.”

An original writer and performer in the TONY award winning Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry Jam on Broadway, Suheir appears in the 2008 Cannes Film Festival Official Selection, “Salt of This Sea.”

Suheir’s performances, poetry, and life’s work defy simplistic “either or” categorizations. She identifies with Brooklyn and not simply New York City, as Palestinian American not simply American, as a woman of color and not just a universal womanhood… You get the idea.
