About Me

Hailing from the musical melting pot of Leeds Haiku is a founding member of the Woo! school of hip hop and original affiliate of the nine lives family. A pioneer of interstellar space travel, calm abiding insight meditation, and tantric funk, Ku is said to have gained initiation into the art of freestyle following visitations from various animal deities.
