The Rat Bastard himself. Show some f*ing respect!

About Me

Are you tired of every rapper, talking about the same things, all their videos looking the same, and wearing the same outfits (fitted caps, sport jerseys, pink shirts, T-shirts with dead people on them, and other thug wear)? Then call 555-POW to contact New Jersey’s own “Rat Bastard of Rap”, POW aka Poet of War aka Show Me the Money.This rapper/poet/producer is different from the rest of the rappers in the hood. Living most of his life in the suburb township of Teaneck, NJ; POW started rapping in 1995. Influenced by artists such as Wu-Tang Clan, Redman, Nas, and Tupac, he is able to write heartfelt and poetic songs as well as funny, wild and crazy ones. With his slick and clever punch lines and his ability to be completely blunt and honest, he is something missing in Hip-Hop music today. The double threat is he produces his own music and his only gimmick is being himself. Originally from Bronx, NY and raised in a middle class household, POW observed the lower class and higher class lifestyle. With his love for music, he attempts to fuse the classes to understand his perception on life.
