Hey everyone, to start off this first post I thought I'd talk a little bit about the Rock-Off Rhyme Tournament that I have been holding on Instagram for the past couple months. . .
So, once a month or so I have been hosting an online poetry tournament where 12 contestants vie for votes in an effort to crown a single winner after 3 weeks of votes. These tournaments are completely a product of a brainstorm I had over trying to increase my own engagement on social media. What better way to help propel yourself than to help others of a similar mindset?
Also, 2020 is mere days away now and everyone seems still hellbent on furthering the modern equivalent of mumble rap in poetry form - the dreaded and unskilled 'micropoetry'. Now I know many on IG do their best to defend this sad excuse for an art form, but I think aphorisms should at best be confined to bumper stickers and dumb ass tattoos instead of books. I know I am biased, but to be fair, I don't care. I hope more people come around in the coming days to helping propel true lyricism to the spotlight instead of these shitty aphorisms passed off by the likes of Atticus and Rupi Kaurs the world over.
January 1st, 2020 will be the start of a brand-new series of Rock-Off Rhyme Tournaments set to ignite the year in a pandemic of poetry! Prizes will be offered from a variety of authors, artists, and musicians from around the world and found via Instagram. Works from authors including Target K. Sinner, Tilly McGill, myself, A.I. Myles, and more, as well as some very special prizes from the homies in RazoR, the horrocore rap group. You don't want to miss out on this! Very good for aspiring poets to get their work known by a very talented cast of other authors, a place of learning, and a place where you can literally win free stuff just by writing poems. How fucking cool is that?
So, please, be sure to follow my current account on Instagram for updates on these tournaments and plenty of opportunity to win some free shit! Also, I will be doing a bunch of new videos this year so stay on the look out for them. So much good stuff happening that you'll just have to stay tuned to stay in the loop! Follow me on Wix to stay updated with ALL my current blogs, rants, and poetry!
