6 long years after his critically-acclaimed debut CD was released, Sekou (tha misft) is back with his sophomore effort - a powerful double CD entitled
"P O E T I C L I C E N S E"
The POETIC DISC – Capturing the intensity, energy and humor of Sekou's live and studio performances, with a few moments of un-intrusive sound design and music to refresh your ear, this disc is for those who love spoken word and want to hear it as close as possible to what they witnessed on stage.
The LICENSE DISC – Taking license with the poems, this side musically re-imagines pieces illuminating the many musical vehicles for spoken word. Through traditional song structures, unorthodox arrangements, and various musical genres, including hip-hop, r&b, soul, gospel, dancehall, electronica, pop, house and alternative, Sekou's poetic verses meld seamlessly with the music to bring an extra dimension to the vivid lexicon of his world. This disc is for the non believers who think they don’t like spoken word… until now!
The CD features guest performances by some of today's hottest independent artist's in spoken word and music including...
Kevin Sandbloom * Celeste Prince * Azikiwe aka "Raw Daddi" * In-Q * Dax * Artus Mansoir * Steve Connell * J. Black * Rob "Ratpack Slim" Sturma * Dominique Karan * C-Mahmi * Nara Boone * Natalie Patterson * Signe Tollefson
... As well as a host of guest producers and musicians who help make this CD bigger and better than any other CD you've ever heard (...by Sekou)

"If rap has become the Main Street to affluence,
And hip-hop is the Underground Railroad to freedom,
Then poetry must be the scenic route...
Where we stop
smell the flowers
And then describe them to you with such ebullience
you can't shake the scent of orchids from your cubicle the next day."
