I guess key turning points were reading the Tao Teh Ching when I was about 12, reading the Book of Revelations in full when I was 14, reading the Tibeten Book of Living and Dying when I was about 18.
I guess my biggest influences are magic mushrooms, the Tao Teh Ching, William Blake and the Wu-Tang Clan! I guess that's what makes me stand out a little, I have diverse influences and I'm not in the least bit afraid to be different. I revel in it.
Do what thou wilt, but if you are true to your higher-self what would you will? When you walk your own path you step into God's slipstream. The trick is to stay there...
KP is not your average rapper, he's a taoist poet with a passion for philosophy, spirituality, Earth Ascension and comedy. He strives to be an inspired inspiration and strives to embody the spirit of creativity.! A wicked flow and hilarious yet insightful lyrics, this is real hip-hop with a sense of humour. Early Eminem meets Jadakiss, Cypress Hill meets Public Enemy, or Redman meets Kanye West with a definite hint of early Snoop? The fact that this rapper has a degree in English and Philosophy probably has alot of influence on his rapping style. But the fact that Magic Mushrooms grew all over campus probably had even more influence! He spent years incorporating different aspects of his favourite MCs styles until he found flows that suited him most. He can rap about philosophical or political subjects then spit the sickest skunk and insomnia induced rhymes in more rhyming patterns than most MCs believe exist!
He is also known for his down-to-earth poetry. Inspired by Taoism, Mayan Philosophy and Hippies.
He was writing poetry before he started writing rap lyrics at eleven years old, he has been performing Hip-Hop since he was 16. A 'culture chameleon' performing at festivals, night clubs and squat parties. He feels even more at home in Stonehenge (or preferably Avebury) than in your average Hip-Hop club but he still raves with the best of them, records club bangers and spits philosophical verses. Already known in the underground UK Hip-Hop scene as Knowledge is Power, for his poetry he recently dropped the alias Knowledge is Power stating that "knowledge is subjective and power is not necessarily desirable."
Also known as Kapes, the Redeye Jedi, the Subculture Sithlord, the Lyrical Ninja, Mr Elocution, KP Nuts and 'Kev the Poet, The Hip-Hop Bard'!
