"THE FROOT OF POETREES IN THE GARDEN OF HIP HOP"

About Me

A South Philly native, blessing the rap game for several years, Spoken Wordz's role in the music industry is to remind fans of what hip-hop sounds like in its most authentic form. As a lyricist whose music moves the soul and opens the mind, and a performer known to electrify entire venues, she is not your average rapper. Embracing the genre of conscious hip-hop, she utilizes her poetic outlook on life to create music that bypasses the common money, sex, and drugs themes, and focuses on more stimulating topics such as revolution, social ills, love/sexuality, womanhood, race-relations, politics, and more simply- real life.Spoken Wordz's unique style, presence, and lyrical delivery bring depth and truth to an industry that lacks substance and true artist appreciation. With songs such as "The Abstract" and "Shake Ya Locs," she defies musical norms in a time where real talent remains hidden behind mass appeal products. Spoken Wordz not only aims to give hip-hop a new consciousness, but also to give females a more positive and realistic image in hip-hop. Resisting the temptation of conveying the more accepted self-degrading messages in music, she is successful in revealing the true depths and complexities of a woman. With her poetically-laced tracks, she shows music listeners abroad that women too have philosophical minds, as well as the power to change the game. And thats what she's going to show the world. That is her gift to hip-hop.Presently working on her own independent recording projects, Spoken Wordz is featured in numerous local open-mics, showcases, and concerts throughout the US. Spoken Wordz has also been featured on many TV shows both locally & nationally, such as "In Bed With Butch" and "106th and Park".
