Music has always been my way of making sense in the world. I strive to connect my personal dreams to collective stories, struggles, and possibilities. I am firmly in the legacy of Mississippi blues and Memphis Hip-hop combined. I also own and operate, Radio Rahim Music, an indie label founded in 2014.

EPs & Albums
Nothing’s Easy is a collaborative project with my brother Tef Poe from St. Louis. We first connected as U.S. Hip-Hop Ambassadors in 2019 and have both spent years using our platforms to infiltrate higher education and cultural institutions. Memphis and St. Louis are sister cities, both on the Mighty Mississippi, this project pays homage to that.

Requiem for the Enslaved is an album that pushed me to levels that I didn't know I had in me. I am deeply proud of this work that honors the lives of the GU 272 and all the victims of American chattel slavey, including my own ancestors.

My debut album, Welcome to Grc Lnd, is near and dear to my heart. I made this album because I wanted to make a soundtrack for our movement in Memphis. The album tells the story of protesting and fighting for equality in a place that doesn't have love and grace.

Live Performance Clips
I am most alive when I am performing live. I performed for the first time in 2005, in 6th grade and I fell in love with it.
I am comfortable performing with a live band, orchestra, or a classic MC/DJ set up.
