Find more videos like this on BLK DIAMOND MEGAPHONE Discopoetry is straight heat! Nothing but fire in the word, in the music, and in the performances. Through the primary vision of Discopoet Khari B. the term, Discopoetry, has been the underground buzz that pushes the limits of what is recognized as Spoken Word today. The organization is an umbrella of series of music and poetry based art projects in an amorphous form. The latest incarnation, "The Rockstar Poetry Project"© is an assembly of masterful musicians melding together sounds of Funk, Soul, Disco, and of course Rock to complement a moor aggressive body of vocal poetic work. Forming as a small experimental project in 2005, the undeniable energy that was created took precedent over other planned projects and grew to include 12 musicians, additional material, and launched an upcoming release, "I'MMA BAD MUTHA: The Rockstar Poetry Project!!!"© This particular exhibit, planted on the pulse of the people, embodies all the attitude and inspiration to fuel a positive change that is desired in the world NOW and release all the stress, frustration, and anger built up by the economic, social and political landscape of present. ;)



This accomplished league of audio superpowers include Frankie Blaze (Crucial Conflict) on lead, Aum Mu Ra on rhythm guitar, Jeff Harris on bass, Cuz (Soul People) on drums and Khari Lemuel ("Morning Music") on electric cello. Corey Wilkes ("Drop It") heads up the horn section on trumpet with Mwata Bowden (8 Bold Souls) on bari sax and didgeridoo and Kevin Nabors on tenor sax. Vocally uplifting the project R Tina "Mutha**ckin" Howell (Catfish Haven), Pia Rene (American Idol), Saalik Zayid (5 After 7) with Spoken Word from Discopoet Khari B.



Steering away from an overly sampled society of music, Discopoetry brings together some of the hottest underground musical talent to not just accompany the word but to become an integral part of it as the blend is something beautiful to behold. With a razor-like delivery and an explosively energetic performance cohesively combined to the musical creations of the aforementioned musicians the The Rockstar Poetry Project© takes its place amongst the mass of musicians the world over that still create organic originals to simultaneously release and sooth the beast within



Recent critics to an advanced listening have said.



"This is the album I've been looking for. Great. Amazing. Awesome lyrics, drums and guitar"writer/director



"As a presenter of live work I listened to this project w/ interest in its immediacy and lasting power as a live experience. And I was very pleased to realize at the end that this would be a project I'd also listen to as a recording for its complexity and how it pushes words onto a dimension in recordings that is underdeveloped. It will be great for this project to spawn more of this kind."
