"Lyrical Exercise" feat. RAGE ALMIGHTY!!!

Word play...rhyme schemes...similes...metaphors...free verse...haiku...!!! One strengthens the other and before you know it, it's like an exercise. Whether you "exercise" as a past time or if you do it for a living, you will find the workout intense and invigorating at "Lyrical Exercise"!Join Memphizm June 11th at Steppin' Up Beauty and Barber Parlor whether you want to "exercise" or spectate you will be sure to leave with renewed strength!

This month we will feature Rage Almighty! Rage Almighty (A YouTube sensation) offers a new approach to spoken word through clever rhyme, rant and rich lyrics saturated in satire, social commentary and hip wisdom. To captivate and engage the audience during a performance, he mixes powerful wordplay with his academically trained acting abilities coupled with a unique sense of humor. Not fitting into any category of poetry, versatile is a word commonly used to describe his creative style which has been noted to be as bold as his name.

Rage has shared his straightforward verbal skills in legendary venues such as Erykah Badu’s Black Forest Theater, the African American Museum in Dallas and the famous Nuyorican Poets Café. He has also performed at engagements featuring hip hop duo/activists Dead Prez; Atlanta’s rapper TI; R&B songstress Chrisette Michele; Philadelphia’s own Kindred Family Soul and world renowned rap group Brand Nubian including community activist and leader Chairman Fred Hampton Jr. He also is a memeber of the 2011 Dallas Slam Team.

From live performances to his popular “mixtapes,” Rage Almighty is definitely one of poetry's divine omnipotent forces.
