RezthaPoet hosts fantastic spoken word experience in Lagos

The answer lies in a stunning performance delivered by REZthaPoet and Isaac Geralds, on Friday the 16th of December 2016 at Liquid Hub, Ikoyi, Lagos,

Themed the 'Common Ground', the concert was a celebration of the connecting power of words.

Backed by a live band and other artists/collaborators, the show was premised on celebrating sounds and words. It offered a joint set that cover performances of individual materials of each artiste, medley of their works mashed together as well as tracks from the forthcoming Joint EP - Common Ground.

Rez said in a press release - “My relationship with Isaac dates back by some years, we have collaborated previously in freestyle performances of Poetry and Soul music in the past at Taruwa and Freedomhall in Lagos. The creative chemistry has been waxing stronger such that we have had some joint collaborations on some unreleased works (mine and his). Isaac is an enigmatic singer and a profound performer who is well known for his abilities. An outright collaboration was always inevitable based on the confluence of our artistry and the unique offerings that gets created. We figured there is no better time than now.”

Isaac added that “Chemistry is something that I appreciate. In my opinion, chemistry is that leverage that births greatness. REZ’s Spokenword Poetry is not pretentious and it’s original in his delivery with a beautiful balance in its use and mix of language. Having worked with him both in the studio and on stage, it was only a matter of time before we got to this point. The messaging in our creative materials both evolve around positivity and probing the less charted paths of human emotions and experience. We are both very experimental in our approach to making art, hence this collaboration”

Rez is gradually becoming a household name in outstanding spoken word delivery and fantastic lyricism.  He is not only known in Nigeria, but across the world after a successful tour run across 6 cities in Europe and Africa.
