Artist: Lee Teka (they/them)

Why? Lee Teka creates art from inside prison, a voice that should be heard. Also, they have written some catchy bars and rhymes that slap!

Where to start?

Keep in mind, every one of these songs was recorded over a phone call from prison...which makes it hit all the more.

"When a Game is not a Game" is a good introduction, and represents the downright cleverness of creating music from behind bars

I can't get "School to Prison Pipeline" out of my head.

Meanwhile "Penitentiary Dreams" feels like the realest cyberpunk synthwave I've heard in a long time

Lee Teka is also a comic artist (often under E.L. Tedana), and you can help support them by buying this wonderful anthology of their work from ABO Comix:
