Number 8 flashed it

He is a spoken word artist, with fast and unique poems. He goes by the name of Number 8. No, I’m not talking about Octopizzo. This is spoken word at its best.

Just like the poet/comedian, Njoro, this guy captures you with his words, leaving you thinking about all that he has just unveiled to you, especially if it reflects to you.

When I listen to his skits, I can’t help but think that these spoken word artists are receiving little, if any recognition than they deserve. I mean, take this poem by Number 8 titled ‘Flush it’ for instance. The poem is all about irresponsibility among the youth, talking about the unprotected sex and abortion. This is more than a strong message, yet the video has less than 200 view on YouTube.

The story in this poem is sad and yet somehow, very entertaining. The rhymes in it are also breathtaking and you can tell that they are not forced rhymes.
