The R.A.P Party

Inua Ellams – 05Fest

Inua Ellams R.A.P Party. Three people are dancing and smiling at an event.

What might eloquent voices from contemporary poetry and spoken word movements have to say about hip-hop's past, present and future?

Come chill and find out at Inua Ellams’ Rhythm and Poetry Party, a nostalgic, no-clutter, no-fuss, night of hip-hop-inspired poems and favourite hip-hop songs.

The format is super simple, 10 poets share a poem, and after each, the DJ will play two songs of the poet’s choosing linked to the poem.

This event is part of Inua Ellam's 05Fest. A week-long festival that puts poetry centre stage and unites separate strands of Ellams' work in different styles. View the full programme of events.
