Peep this...Lets first give a warm welcome back to
REAL NEW YORK HIP HOP!...(applause). Exhibit A marks the debut mixtape and the first in a trilogy by Brooklyn NY's own Poe Picasso. Lets get into this a little bit now...shall we? Poe Picasso is a sub-mainstream artist from Brooklyn NY, that's taking this Hip Hop industry by storm. With his slick metaphors, smooth word play and a real love and respect for the art and artists "
who did it", as he states in his mixtape, it will only be a matter of time before the rest of the world embraces him and his music. I try to remain as un-biast and as fair as I can be at all times, but I do believe that Poe is going to be one of the names brought up in a conversation starting with "who put NY back on the map?". Exhibit A is a concept mixtape or an experiment, in which Poe used both industry production as well as orginal production to deliver a complete package. Packed with the grittiness and lyrical content that patrons of Hip Hop are ever so familiar with, he frolics with various flows as he tantalizes the ears with his lyrical intricacies. He then preluded and ended songs with "...
just another experiment" and ".
..It's POE!" respectively. My personal fave's would be "
By the Bulk" produced by: Problem Child, "
Confused I Was" produced by yours truly The Architect, "
The 9th Inning" produced by Megahertz and "
Libra Scales" produced by Mr. DJ. Take a peep...at some of these songs at

Exhibit B: Manifest Destiny" (coming soon), visit Poe Picasso at
