Southern Fried Slam Poetry

Me and around 200 poets from all over the United States partook in an event that will stay with me and countless others forever. It was big!!!!

I am part of the Upstate Slam Poetry Team called: SPEAKLIFE (click for video) and we had a blast. SPEAKLIFE and the rest of Slam Poetry Teams from everywhere competed in Slams and broung awareness to a vast number of issues, and vocalized a wide spectrum of beliefs. If you are ever in the Greenville, SC area and you like being inspired through poetry then you must visit Coffee Underground on Sunday at 7pm. I look forward to participating in the next Slam and perfecting my craft, bettering my ability to communicate truth in the most impactful way.

we bleed blood

because these streets is sick

SLAM POETRY

click photo to see video of SLAM POETRY

For those of you who don’t know what SLAM POETRY is well it is like spoken word on steroids and really high energy. I as a poet and a man of God always struggled with performing spoken word that was judged by others in a competition, because I felt like it belittles the point of poetry. I have only now come to the realization that SLAM POETRY is a platform for those who are super serious about what they have to say. I personally dont perform for points, but to SPEAKLIFE into the atmosphere. If you want to step your delivery up and cut the fat off – I mean really perfect your craft SLAM POETRY is where its at (its fun to watch too).
