Rap Legend Doug E. Fresh, legendary comedian Paul Mooney and flutist Bobbi Humphrey are hosting a benefit concert for Abiodun Oyewole, a founding member of The Last Poets.

The Last Poets " music has had a huge impact on Hip-Hop music.

In addition to delivering rhythmic rhymes over their original brand of music beginning in the 1960 "s, The Last Poets have been sampled by a slew of artists, including Notorious B.I.G., Brand Nubian, N.W.A., Eminem, Common, Clipse, A Tribe Called Quest and others.

Cutbacks in arts education programs in the city schools, which were a large part of his income, have put Oyewole, 63, in such dire financial straits that he is in danger of losing the Manhattan apartment where he has lived in for 35 years.

"I "ve been making most of my money working for arts education agencies, but that money is all dried up in the city," Oyewole said. "Consequently, I do not have the funds I normally have. So things got slack. I had to borrow money. Now I "m close to losing my home."

Fans can order tickets to the fundraiser at www.110fundraiser.eventbrite.com.
