about

Otis Mensah's new EP 'Rap Poetics' is a continuation of his debut poetry book that explores rap as an intellectual art-form and potent medium of poetry in the face of a white-washed, elitist art world. Focusing on the power of vulnerability and artistic expression as emotional communication, 'Rap Poetics' is an ode to valuing art as activism in the face of oppressive systems. In the vein and nature of Hip-Hop, it's about alchemizing worlds from words and celebrating the culture through Language Games.
