Back in the U Street rebirth era, Komplex was the Brooklyn born, Baltimore raised and DC frequented spoken word artist that always had a buzz around him. He had a mastery of language like few others and a stage presence like a true emcee from the Golden Era of Hip-Hop.

I had one of his poetry CDs and when I heard this joint, it gave me chills.
Below is another awesome spoken-word piece he did when he visited: Wildflower
