Okay, inspired by one of the dopest poems I’ve heard since I’ve been on the poetry scene, Kom(plex)’s “Put it to Music”, I feel the need to mention some of the dopest joints and poets I’ve seen in the past 2 ½- 3 years.
Kom(plex)’s~ H.I.V. (Heaven in View & Put it to Music) are incredible
Sir Reigns~ Hairitage is still one of my favs
Talaam Acey~ No explanation needed.
Crystalee~ Fine and ferocious
Lea~ Asian poetess who had this sick joint about her passport
Giles~ Partner in rhyme who is ridiculous as well
Droopy~ This cat writes so damn much, and be blazin’ it constantly. Plus, ya’ll probably ain’t heard two of my personal faves, “Tiffy” and “She’s Funny That Way”
Bassey~ Only heard her a couple of times, but whoa! Lil’ mama packs a lot of heat in that little frame. Such a cutie
Tonya “Ja Hipster” Mathews~ Sir and I are the first charter members of the Ja Hipster fan club. She hits you with a combo of gorgeous and got damn!
Patrick Washington~ The love piece about Ronal Reagan National Airport is one of the hottest poems I’ve ever heard. Few people can deliver with the controlled intensity of this cat.
Taj Holsten~ Gets better and better each time I see him spit.
Granma Dave~ Wow…this cat is ill. Plus, if you need a CD job done, holla @ this cat, his company has worked with mad local artists…many of which are on this list.
Liberty~ Fly, dope wordsmith, and her voice is incredible.
Okay this list will be incomplete…for now.
