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'! 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 sacred stone circles like 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." 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.

Story behind the song
I wanted to use the beat for years, it's sampled from my favourite manga movie. When I finally thought my production skills were worthy of the sample I had to write lyrics that were worthy of the beat. I decided to go with the fact that I am a bizarrely unique MC. I don't rap about h*** and kilos, I rap about Taoist philosophy and magic mushrooms. I'm one of the few MCs who still stands for what rap music once was before it became a business. Honest self expression, nothing more and nothing less.
Lyrics
I'm the one who doesn't rap about h*** and kis and I'm the one who knows the unwritten codes of MCin, don't rap about a life you aint livin and don't see and don't preach a philosophy you don't believe in... Too many MCs only rap about sellin' drugs n' thuggin', who's the one that doesn't? Too many MC's ain't got the balls to rap about love or what's above, who's the one that does? Too many MCs don't know this was an art a long time ago in a mind state far, far, away before it was a business! Who's the one who knows, who's the one who flows, who's the one who relies on lyrics not gimmicks? I'm the one who ain't charlied up, remember OC? Times Up for you fake armies, what?
