Description: During the course of his two-decade career as a punk rocker, hip-hop emcee, reflective acoustic statesman, R&B crooner and funk barnstormer, MF has proved that the medium is secondary to the message. His upcoming album “Yell Fire!” is a response to his travels in Iraq, Israel and Palestine, where he learned that people in war zones would rather not hear songs about war. The uplifting collection was previewed last year for the maximum security ward of Folsom Prison — believe it or not, the first time a band had journeyed there since Johnny Cash.
