If you missed the July Slam, you missed a great show! Amazing talent, HUGE crowd, great food, and of course art!

Opening this month's Slam was hip-hop emcee, Knowledge Nick! He was a crowd favorite! Check out his performance!

Right before the competition, Spoken Word Artist, R.A.M.P opened the Slam with an ice-breaker - check it out below!

This month's Slam included a roster of 4 poets: Rhetoric, The Virghost Poet, AT Chill, and last month's winner, HARDFACE. The judges sent Rhetoric and AT Chill, both new slam finalists, to the final round with AT Chill winning the Slam title, trophy and $150 cash prize!

During this month's Slam, we held a raffle for a 26" Flat Screen TV! Many purchased tickets, but Amber Lane of Memphis, TN was the winner of the TV - Congratulations again to Amber!

Also, a guest painter, and soror of mine, Ashley Brown, raffled one of her AMAZING paintings of Chrisette Michelle - which was painted during the Slam from a blank canvas ladies and gentlemen! An audience winner was the winner of this painting - winners pics posted soon!
