Someone expressed an interest in hearing material from Von Poe VII, and given his extensive list of no longer available yet dope music, I figured I'd offer up one of my personal favorites of his from just before he changed his name.
Starting out while still in high school, Poe has come a long way since he dropped 2006's The Atma Within. This last entry of his Death to the Shogun series is a great place to start getting familiar with his vision as an artist, a hard to define lyrical style and content that I guess could almost be called dark conscious. Eerie, melodic and at times brutal, this 30 track album has some seriously dope production and guest lyricists as varied as Vice Versa (nka Carmine Moth), Vida Killz and even the mighty Mr. Lif.
Poe may not be for everyone, but he made my Top 10 list of rappers of the decade, and I predict at least some of you may agree.
Thanks! Gonna check this as soon as possible
