Errr... the only way to describe it is extremely bitter, extremely honest Hip-Hop prose. It doesn't rhyme but if it's not Hip-Hop I don't know what is. It might just be too extreme!

Also known as Kapes, the Redeye Jedi, the Subculture Sithlord, the Lyrical Ninja, Mr Elocution, KP Nuts and 'Kev the Poet, The Hip-Hop Bard'! He was writing poetry before he started writing rap lyrics at eleven years old, he has been performing Hip-Hop since he was 16. A 'culture chameleon' performing at festivals, night clubs and squat parties. He feels even more at home in sacred stone circles like Stonehenge (or preferably Avebury) than in your average Hip-Hop club but he still raves with the best of them, records club bangers and spits philosophical verses. Already known in the underground UK Hip-Hop scene as Knowledge is Power, for his poetry he recently dropped the alias Knowledge is Power stating that "knowledge is subjective and power is not necessarily desirable." KP is not your average rapper, he's a taoist poet with a passion for philosophy, spirituality, Earth Ascension and comedy. He strives to be an inspired inspiration and strives to embody the spirit of creativity.! A wicked flow and hilarious yet insightful lyrics, this is real hip-hop with a sense of humour. Early Eminem meets Jadakiss, Cypress Hill meets Public Enemy, or Redman meets Kanye West with a definite hint of early Snoop? The fact that this rapper has a degree in English and Philosophy probably has alot of influence on his rapping style. But the fact that Magic Mushrooms grew all over campus probably had even more influence! He spent years incorporating different aspects of his favourite MCs styles until he found flows that suited him most. He can rap about philosophical or political subjects then spit the sickest skunk and insomnia induced rhymes in more rhyming patterns than most MCs believe exist! He is also known for his down-to-earth poetry. Inspired by Taoism, Mayan Philosophy and Hippies.

Story behind the song
This is MY confession, I'm not always happy and I'm not always nice. I wrote this to get some sh** off my chest that I put on my online journal (I told you I was a geek but nobody believed me!) Then, I don't know how, some stroke of genius I guess, then I thought of Usher's confession and I thought what a pussy! That's not a confession, in 9 months he'd have to confess anyway, that's just cowardice! How I thought of the Twilight of the Gods sample I'll never know. This is far from the usual KP stuff this is experimental shiznit. The positive aspects are that it's honest music from the heart. The negative aspects are that it is an admission of my growing anger at the opposite sex and life in general. I woke up this morning and thought I saw a demon next to my bed. I sh** you not.
Lyrics
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH BOLLOCKS! I'm not a bitter person. I'm not an angry person. Right now I'm... disappointed. In fact f*** it, right now I'm bitter and angry! Unfortunately I only seem to be moved to right in 20six when I'm pissed off, it's the only thing that motivates me to be creative recently. I am slowly turning into the type of person I have always hated. I'm becoming a superficial money obsessed woman hater. If you told me two years ago that I could write something like that I would hve laughed at you. But two years ago I chose to stay in the jobless Stoke-On-Trent to stay with my girlfriend instead of following good sense and money and moving back to London to start a career in media. Since then my ex has told me in no uncertain term that she would never have made that sort of sacrifice for me and my career has been forever dented by the year of customer service and telesales I did when I should have been writing. Women were also responsible for me leaving the only decent job I ever had, as I had to quit because I never wanted to see two b*** es I worked with ever again. Things haven't got so bad that I call all women b*** es, just the one's that deserve it. Since then I have gone to ¬X¬X¬X¬X to follow my heart only to have it broken, I have gone to ¬X¬X¬X¬X to follow my heart only to have it broken. I am beginning to wonder if I should stop following my heart and start following my dick and my wallet like every other c*** . And my attempt to keep away from the corporate life by hiring bars and becoming a club promoter was partly scuppered by the fact that some of my so-called friends were too posh to be seen going to a bar on Holloway Road yet they still expect me to pay to enjoy their company in posh wine bars. F*** off. I no longer have any tolerance. I used to be a tolerant man. I can't keep a job because I know what it feels like to get paid £16000 a year to do something you love and I was forced to leave it. How can I put effort into customer service for £10000 after that? I have so-called friends deliberately making me jealous, my parents blaming me for every failure when to be perfectly honet all I've done was follow my dreams and make sacrifices for ungrateful b*** es. The story of my life. You see there are 3 misconceptions that my so-called friends have about me. 1 Kev never had a decent job. 2 Kev's a nice guy that never gets angry. And my personal favourite - 3 Kev's always smiling. Well I wrote for a multinational computer catalogue but not for the first time the ambition of my workmates meant I was spat out of the corporate life. I'm not in the least bit depressed, or suicidal, I'm f*** ing angry. And I'm sick to f*** ing death of smiling all the f*** ing time, telling everybody everythings alright and going home to cry.
