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
've been quite good on the 'blog front', if I do say so myself. Posting prophecies and true stories, regardless of whether you believe in reincarnation and regardless of whether or not you believe in the word of the man who calls himself King Arthur it is hard to argue with the fact that I have been playing the role of a Bard. The poet and storyteller, the song-writer who speaks for the people who have no voice. But I have not been quite so good on the 'verse front'. I hve been writing verses, even recording verses, but I have not been placing them in tribe. The main reason for this is because I have stopped writing verses on computer and gone back to writing in a lyric book. The words flow smoother when you use a pen. Typing is not worse, no, but it's different. You can delete your words without a trace, you can type with more abandon because you can always go back and alter it. Every line on a piece of paper tells a story and it inspires me to write with more reverence. it takes patience to transcribe them on to a computer (but not as much patience as it takes to transcribe pages of Native American prophecy!) What follows is a verse I started writing on The Hill of Tara... (excuse typos, this keyboard is not working properly and I'm tired.) ps Purists beware - this is Hip-Hop.
Lyrics
An autonomous family that grew organically United passionately by the common cause to banish the Diggers non-chalantly digging up the Tara Valley, Digging up the bones of dead kings... mechanically. A travesty and a tragedy? Nah, we'll always have at least each other, We're far from panicky, sister, brother, one Earth, one Mother! It feels like these days are almost too strange Following the Synchro-flow to Ireland's Newgrange... ONE LOVE burning ignited by two flames. Eternal love, I've given up learning new pains! Who gains anything by selling out to the system? pre-cognition of a crystal city glisten. Hill of WILLING hostages, and hill of vision, trust intuition. Ascended masters help me chillax on my mission. what's my mission? Who knows? Just listen... ..."to the sound of silence, the sound of silence..." Overcoming the sound of violence. No more people on Vicadin. The sound of violins And harps under tarps heralds the return of divine kings Who don't enforce their rule, they're advising, of course they're cool! The real King and Queen reside within. Your heart should be trusted. Now I might begin... Truth never rusted and it's sharpened within Emerald temples Lacing instrumentals with Bardic Rhyme. PERHAPS I reincarnated one last time, Bodhisatvas I'm ELVEN! Heaven help us, make the darkness shine! The light of love unconditional, ruthless compassion, Qawwali sufi devotion with that Al Green passion! He's evidently no missionary - is he visionary? Or has all the love he's getting made him just a little merry? Word up! "You can get anything you want... At Alice's restaurant!" You can get anything you want As long as you want everyone to get what they want. The mystery's not everybody wants to be happy, I want everyone to want to be happy, if I'm babbling just slap me ;-) "You can get anything you want... at Alice's restaurant!"
