Dasan Ahanu’s album (STAW) + (REE) + (TEL) + (UH), Vol. 2, is a powerful fusion of spoken word poetry and hip-hop that delves into themes of social justice, resilience, and personal introspection. This recording is the second in a series of Spoken Word musical projects by Ahanu centered on storytelling. The album showcases lyrical prowess and offers a profound exploration of societal issues, blending sharp commentary with introspective reflections on identity, community, and culture. Through vibrant beats, soulful melodies, and poignant spoken word performances, Ahanu creates a compelling and thought-provoking listening experience that challenges listeners to reflect on the complexities of life and the power of storytelling.

The album was produced by The Genius Party, a collective of North Carolina producers working together to build and expand the creative culture of music in their community.

This project is in consideration for Spoken Word Poetry Album of the Year. It is available on all streaming platforms.
