RAAKI SOLOMON, SONGWRITER, POET

Lyrical greatness may be distinguished

by a word here,

a phrase there, emotion, a feeling.

Enter the realm of, Raaki Solomon.

---

He got his poetic license from,

Amiri Baraka, Don Lee, Shakespeare,

the Griots, Bob Marley and Tupac.

In the dynamic of contemporary songwriters

hammering daily African-American truths,

Raaki Solomon stands alone.

Your mind cries in one sentence,

laughs in the next.

His words gather you up and

take you where he went,

show you what he saw.

---

An artistic experience...

you feel the blood without bleeding,

taste the salt without crying,

love the love everlasting.

The power of this pen is awesome.
