Ever byAubrette Davis


Ever heard a song that you just got caught up in..
And for days to come you were rockin and singin?

Ever heard a beat and suddenly realize
it's been transposed on your soul, you feel the rhythm inside?

  A lil too much pride by Ellisha


He treats you just like you want to be treated
He's not rich but had doe when needed
He buys you things like your his wife
But you keep claiming that he's not your type

Floetry
its like poetry defying norms or rather forms of spoken word and song

 
My Floetry section is dedicated to Spoken word artists who rock my world and possibly yours too. Nuff Respect to the the musical group "Floetry" . Their ubran - nu classic soul styles reminds me of Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill, and the entire dirty back pack crew.
Eve, Missy, Foxy, and Lil Kim aren't all the only sistahs doing there thing on the hip-hop scene. MSOY friend Bggyrl, has a website that showcases female hip-hop and spoken word artists. Plus she is working on a compilation CD. If you would like to submit your work to the CD, or just hear the track, click here.
Jill Scott took us all on a long walk and the journey is far from over. What can I say, she can sing, she can flow, and she's deep too. Visit Jills website if you want to know more about her. If you just want to listen to her flow, then go to "Floetry In Motion", the msoy radio station strictly dedicated to spoken word artists and poets.
Ursula Rucker first stood out to me on the Roots track, "Lullaby." I heard her voice and I was hooked. She's quite different from Jill Scott, but in definitly in a good way. Her work is both politically consciencous and mentally stimulating. Just one listen, and your hooked. Are you ready to listen?
Featured on Bggyrls compilation Cd, is a track that I personally am really feeling - "Father less" by the very taltend Abiyah. You can listent to it, as well as her other works on mp3.com. I think she's definitly a new star in the making.
That-Bitch.com
So There are some people in this world I can't tolerate, but there are a few elite sistahs that get my utmost respect and Huny is most def. One of them. Her site is hot, her graphics are hot, and her poetry is the bomb. I can say no more.

Spoken Word :: Returning Soon
