About Purple Galaxy:
Award-winning activist and spoken-word performer Yolo Akili's first feature length
spoken-word album,"Purple Galaxy," on the Queer Renaissance label is a compilation of
Akili's most celebrated works, including the witty "Fagets R not Responsible","We are not
the Kind of boys we want", "Neighborhood Association" and the highly erotic title track
"Purple Galaxy."Akili states:Purple Galaxy is an album about exploring the
boundaries of sexual and gendered identities. It's about embracing an erotic
that is fierce, political, and uninhibited."

Whether its challenging the politics of desire in black gay male communities in "We are
not the kind of boys we want" or challenging violence against women in the narrative hit
"The Neighborhood Association" Purple Galaxy truly reflects a progressive politic that is
both highly imaginative and undoubtedly inflammatory. Www.Yoloakili.com
