DarkPoet(ATL)
This is DarkPoet...Just trying to inject a little abstract lyricism into the ears of my listeners. This isn't your typical brand of poetry; it's spoken word injected with the DNA of hip hop. Even though I live in ATL, I still rep Philly and the UK to the fullest. Everything you hear was produced by me and my homie 3 Grand "Tha Hitman." He's probably the tightest producer you've never heard of, and he's a "stupid mah fah!"
Hopefully, what you hear will give you a mental workout and change your perception of poets. Not all of us are dread wearing, incense burning, bohemian vegetarians. Peace...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Thanks to the people from Nockturnal Escape in Jacksonville gave me the drive to perform and take my poetry to another level.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I usually perform at jazz clubs and poetry spots. Sometimes I have a backup band, but I usually perform acapella.
Your musical influences
Rakim, Tupac, Bob Marley, Marvin Gaye...basically anyone who elevated their craft.
What equipment do you use?
Pro Tools, Cool Edit, Goldwave, Ensoniq
Anything else?
3 Grand tha Hitman (he's gonna blow up real soon...you heard it here 1st), Rhythm C (Let's do this collabo!), Renezance, Soul Release, and every poet/spoken word artist doing their thing. "Overhead Abstract" is the new album. Stay tuned...
