The R.A.P Party

Inua Ellams – 05Fest

,The Pit
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.
