The ReadNex Poetry Squad - A Tree Grows in a Place Called Home
Producer: Charles Graham
Album: Day Before Sound
Label: Debefore Records
Since the emergence, disappearance, and resurgence of The Last Poets, no other group of young stanza-kickers have come about and made a significant impact in the music world. Thankfully the ReadNex Poetry Squad have decided to fill this void. Although they rely on hip-hop foundations a bit more than other poetry musicians, the group certainly brings a different angle to listeners, showcased in their new single, A Tree Grows in a Place Called Home. Composed by Charles Graham, tranquil piano keys highlight a smooth and relaxing instrumental while in true posse form, Poetry Squad members Decora, FreeFlowin, Jarabe Del Sol, Latin Translator hop on the track and interject themselves in musical harmony; with all their separate parts, from sharp rhymes to soft harmonies, working in unison. As they reminisce on their home in Brooklyn classic hip-hop samples (I hear you T.R.O.Y.) scratch their way into your ears, demonstrating the often seamless blend between hip-hop and poetry. For more genre-crossing dopeness like A Place Called Home, be sure to check out ReadNex Poetry Squad’s latest album, Day Before Sound, which dropped earlier this month.

Posse rap groups usually don't work for a numbers of reasons: 1) One emcee is far more talented than the others, 2) In an effort to get mic time for all the members songs last way too long, and 3) They tend to overwhelm listeners with a more is better than less approach (which rarely works). Luckily, Readnex doesn't have to worry about any of these pitfalls.

Reminisce songs and Biggie Samples are (almost) always a win!
