Verses
Brick Weekly visited the Tuesday night poetry reading at Tropical Soul @ 314 North 2nd Street, Richmond’s “only conscious spot for hip-hop and poetry” .
From the article:
Poets like the slim, tireless Brother Manifest and old-school influenced rapper Texas P. proudly claim “Verses” to be Cap City’s only conscious spot for hip-hop and poetry. “It’s family in here,” says Manifest of the atmosphere. This is felt most during intermission, when Pickney infuses the Jackson Ward restaurant with the atmosphere of a southern church by insisting everyone walk across the room to meet someone they’ve never met before. You can’t help leaving hoping there’s more where that came from.
