ill-literacy



For awhile, I've been obsessing over this visionary group called the "ill-literacy."

This collective group of poets, emcees, and spoken word artists all come together for one purpose; instead of being prisoners of their words, they all have something to say to the world and about the world. but their biggest mission is not for people to just listen to them, but for them to want to listen.

This group which has been pushing spoken word as an art form to its limits, has swept from stage to stage, and has been capturing the attention of our generation today.. they are an inspiring group of fresh individuals that maybe, just maybe, become more hyped than "def poetry jam."

who knows, right?

But this group, with their lyrical verses and innovative theatrics, have put together a show, a spoken word show, a hiphop theater, a chance for people that have something to say.. to say it.

& I'm sure you'll agree with me, that everything that they have to say, is true.
