Contrast The Poet’s unique style sets him apart as a contemporary story teller who fuses spoken word with UK hip hop to create a refreshing new style of Lyricist. Born and bread on the streets of Brighton, UK; his life’s twists and turns gave him the resilience to make it through major life challenges on both sides of the Atlantic. His raw narrative often leads to explosive tracks such as Moment of Silence, Final Warning, and Hidden Contracts, set to release in the final part of 2025 on all major platforms.
Growing up in the UK, music was a portal away from the facts of life, an outlet for direct expression, a way to channel his emotions. Having lived on both sides of the Atlantic his Influences come from UK hip hop and Grime artists such as Kano, Devlin, The Streets, and Roots Manoeuvre, fused with US rappers like Nas, Ms Lauryn Hill, The Wutang Clan, and Lupe Fiasco, to create a hybrid style and cultural perspective you can hear in tracks such as Blessed To Flex.
You can find Contrast The Poet performing at events around Brighton and London, UK.
