dialect spoken in many forms, the art of spoken word, gives life
and light to the many of its kinds. From the highest mountain all
the way down to the poorest slums, the art of spoken word has been
carried out for centuries. Poets such as Augustine, Augustus,
Aristotle, and Socrates displayed the nature of what the art is
intended to do today. The art of spoken word is the logic and
reason of life combined with the spirit of truth! The heart is to
the body as spoken word is to hip hop. When it is combined with
metaphoric teachings through the rhythms of jazz, soul, funk, and
blues, its complimentary style will make the head nod because the
neck knows that its phat. (Mad Skillz) Who is Spoken Word anyway?
Spoken Word (born as Sharon Lawrence and also known as Rima-Aanjay)
is one who is inspired by the work of the greatest legends
including, Marvin Gaye, Billie Holiday, The Last Poets, Saul
Williams, etc. Her work is well written in reference to life
itself. As a poet, her voice is strong and powerful operating under
the spirit of wisdom and truth, knowledge and understanding, peace
and love. There was never a time that she has performed where
the

audience was not attentive or responsive to her raw words of truth.
She is the voice for the voiceless in so many ways. To elegantly
put it, she is the Billie Holiday of hip hop, spoken word of rap,
and very well loved for her work! In 2013, she was nominated for
the heart award through Liberated Muse, an organization based in
our nations capital. She is also known throughout the world for her
classic album, Hip Hop Will Never Die, and has since become that
revolutionary voice for change in local communities throughout the
whole wide world. If you truly would like to know Rima- Aanjay and
witness the impeccable breath of fresh air through her spoken
words, Press Play. http://www.wordlifeproduction.com/,
