Also known as Kapes, the Redeye Jedi, the Subculture Sithlord, the Lyrical Ninja, Mr Elocution, KP Nuts and 'Kev the Poet, The Hip-Hop Bard'! He was writing poetry before he started writing rap lyrics at eleven years old, he has been performing Hip-Hop since he was 16. A 'culture chameleon' performing at festivals, night clubs and squat parties. He feels even more at home in sacred stone circles like Stonehenge (or preferably Avebury) than in your average Hip-Hop club but he still raves with the best of them, records club bangers and spits philosophical verses. Already known in the underground UK Hip-Hop scene as Knowledge is Power, for his poetry he recently dropped the alias Knowledge is Power stating that "knowledge is subjective and power is not necessarily desirable." KP is not your average rapper, he's a taoist poet with a passion for philosophy, spirituality, Earth Ascension and comedy. He strives to be an inspired inspiration and strives to embody the spirit of creativity.! A wicked flow and hilarious yet insightful lyrics, this is real hip-hop with a sense of humour. Early Eminem meets Jadakiss, Cypress Hill meets Public Enemy, or Redman meets Kanye West with a definite hint of early Snoop? The fact that this rapper has a degree in English and Philosophy probably has alot of influence on his rapping style. But the fact that Magic Mushrooms grew all over campus probably had even more influence! He spent years incorporating different aspects of his favourite MCs styles until he found flows that suited him most. He can rap about philosophical or political subjects then spit the sickest skunk and insomnia induced rhymes in more rhyming patterns than most MCs believe exist! He is also known for his down-to-earth poetry. Inspired by Taoism, Mayan Philosophy and Hippies.

Story behind the song
When I first wrote Amthyst Crystal I new exactly what type of beat I needed for it. I heard the beat at Grafic's studio in Raptor's yard and new I had to put the Amethyst Crystal lyrics on it. But I allowed it for a few months and when I went back to the studio still no MC had claimed it. I recorded this just before Mongo laid his vocals down on DnD. I made alot of funny tracks but I have an English Literature and Philosophy degree and I was put on this earth to do more than just entertain, I was put here to enlighten. I started writing to redress the balance and add some substance to the humour. After about a month or so I had 64 bars of deepness known only as Amethyst Crystal...
Lyrics
Amethyst crystal, lyrical vividness, cannabis spliffs for this mystical wizard it's visual like Manga, make you yell gouranga! Don't test the stamina ya little wanker! Can't hang with the orangutan, got my mans, not just shottas, proper dappa dans, not just rappers and rap fans, mans in rock bands, I'm not polluting my chakras by chatting with phonies I chat to my homies about Ayahuasca ceremonies... ...just a glimpse of true clarity, the template for modern life is insanity, pissed off nine to five days a week? Ban that, seen? When freedom's swapped for cash believe the system's trapping me, I don't rap to be a rapper, I rap cos I have to. Didn't choose Hip-Hop, Hip-Hop chose me and that's true... ...my words don't need a hook, but harpoons and a lassoo to rap around a wild beat and use it to trap you! Real MCs don't rap in fact with verbs we visually sculpt - we're artists, not mindless thugs, our minds are sharpest. It's better to light a candle, than to curse the darkness.
