Abdul Malik Al Nasir

Black Wax is a musical-political entertainment film produced and directed by Robert Mugge. It centers on the late African American poet-singer-songwriter Gil Scott-Heron - the man Melody Maker called "the most dangerous musician alive" and many dubbed the forefather of rap music - and his Midnight Band. The entertainment is political. Restored from the original 16mm film.

A love letter to a forgotten masterpiece, this film tells the story of Hustlers Convention, the seminal album that laid the foundation for hip-hop.
