On July 9th Word Warrior presented to the world “Elements of a Warrior” his first studio project. His launch party was on the beautiful rooftop at the Phantom Gallery Chicago in Bronzeville. The event was hosted by Blaq Isis with features by Windy Indie, Sam Trump and the Sax Preacher.   He has been known by many names; The Loud Poet, Poet Crazy, Mr Well Spoken and currently Word Warrior. One of the things that sticks out with his performances is his energy. He knows how to stir up a crowd during his performances which is a very important element of performing in the spoken word community. In addition to being a performer he also cohosts an open mic set entitled Well Spoken Live with ALIEN another talented Chicago poet. The stand out pieces  on the project for me were #7 “Chicago” Where he calls his city to the carpet on the amount of violence that exists.    #8 “Grandma’s Hands” He reminds us of the important role of grandmothers in our lives. and #5 which was a P.O.E.T radio exclusive interview where we learned more about the life of the  man that they call “Word Warrior”  We loved the production on the album and wish Word Warrior much success on his future endeavors.
