Spit Forever

Wednesday Night at Lyrically Speaking, Indianapolis throws a Bon Voyage to a , good friend, great poet, and an under spanish-speaking O.T.T.O.B.O.T. architect. Come help celebrate T. Odis's short visit and amazing impression in our city. This may be your last chance for a while. But he'll be back... when he discovers I stole his toothpicks.

Cereal For Dinner

With the stroll that personifies a nation-wide oppression, and the quick-witted tongue of a second century prophet, Eddie The Third takes literature to a completely different echelon of artistry. In his latest album, Cereal For Dinner, even the titles have a sentimental value that surpasses its time. Witness the walking sight of a black man who refused to be desensitized by the system. Seriously, if you're looking for truth, in it's rawest form, this should absolutely take you to the next level. Personally, I'd say put track four on repeat then break the damn button off. But in all seriousness, every piece we'll have its place in your soul. If you catch Eddie Hoke, ask about this one.

The Good F!ght

Imjusayin, F!ghting Words, and Spoken Soul Food Sundays would like to present; The Good F!ght. This album is a collective of some of the coldest poets in the city. aLLEN iMAGERY, Tony Styxx, Mike Perez, Nsaychable, and Saint Peace come together to put a little F!ght in your flow. The album is, of all things, inspirational to those looking to sustain greatness in self, yet extremely entertaining all at once. Each track you will find something quite relevant to where you stand in life. Just don't play track 4 with the lights off.... Please. If you want to cop a feel to reality, you want to hear what these poets have to say.

La Douleur eXquise

If you want to hear something that makes your ears say "This is some good ass cheese!", this might be what it takes. This album is a spiritually paraphrased journey to self-discover. From my favorite poet, Nsaychable, we at Choqin' Soul would like to present, La Douleur eXquise. Get it, love it, "Fuck it, feel it". I promise, my ears were like," How come you ain't tell me how good this CHEESE was?!". In all seriousness, I'm not saying this because she's from my hometown. I've heard my share of mediocre, self-absorbed poets, this is NOT that. You will be disappointed when you hear it, because its SO good, you'll expect to develop invisible wings and jump out of a window to test them. Might I say myself, bliss has never been so concreted, damn wings. (I thought that was funny). At any rate, if you ever find yourself at a poetry set and you catch her on the stage, ask about this one.

Write On

This is how we do it on Friday night. Why not start your weekend off, with a little soul. With your host, J Da 1, settin' it straight, a night full of poetry and entertainment keep the HotSpots comin'. Right on the corner of 29th and Clifton (look for the blue light). So, if you're lookin' for something useful to spend your check on, slide through and either get on the mic, or sit back, relax, and say "That's my spot!"
