Rap Rhyme Battle Featuring Tone Da Boss
<p>It’s Summer Dare “Rhyme It” Week, and we’re bringing a local talent, Mr. Tone Da Boss, in to show us how rap, which uses rhyme, meter and narrative, is really a form of oral poetry. In fact, with the general unpopularity and cultural irrelevance of most contemporary poetry, poets might be interested in what they can learn from rap, given its huge popularity and appeal. Come and join us Thursday, June 22 at 6 pm Downtown for a show filled with music, rhyme, and audience participation.</p> 2017-06-02 19:00:00 -0500
