KP 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 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.
"I grew up in North London, there was nothing strange about my upbringing, I just had a more inquisitive mind than most. I guess key turning points were reading the Tao Teh Ching when I was about 12, reading the Book of Revelations in full when I was 14, reading the Tibeten Book of Living and Dying when I was about 18. I dunno, I did normal stuff like get stoned at lunchtime with my mates but I was always into reading different things. I guess that's what makes me stand out a little, I have diverse influences and I'm not in the least bit afraid to be different. I revel in it. Also I used to over-analyse everything. Everything. So I know the way my mind works because I analyse my thought processes, I watch it, I listen to my ego arguing with my higher-self and laugh at my foibles. I watch the way trends come and go, I watch the way people interact in a pub or a bar. It's a learning process, I used to get attached to my judgments but now I've over-analysed judgment and I realise that judgment, just like everything else, is merely a matter of opinion. I still consider myself quite a moral character with a strong sense of right and wrong but my most recent influences - Alan Watts, Robert Anton Wilson, the poets Ryokan, Hafiz and Rumi - have all made me realise that even morals are subjective. Bottom line though, regardless of whether morals are subjective, or judgment is a matter of opinion every individual incarnation of divinity (that means you and me) has got to make decisions. Do what thou wilt, but if you are true to your higher-self what would you will? When you walk your own path you step into God's slipstream. The trick is to stay there..."
