The Program
I’MMA BAD MUTHA: Rockstar Poetry Project!!!” is a live instrument experiment and studio album presented by Discopoetry Arts & Edutainment Collective. The project brings together a 12-piece ensemble of some of Chicago’s undisputed underground music champions, complimented by the explosive poetic persona of Discopoet Khari B. The Rockstar Poetry Project is the culminating event to a series of live shows and arts experiences known primarily to the influencer segment for years. What began as a musical spark circa 2006 at Chicago’s HotHouse is now a complete studio album filled with all new and original material. Fans and newbies alike are in store for a multi-sensory music experience and get the CD as a takeaway.
