I seem to recall back when I was small, half a knee tall to a spalding basketball, all I needed was some free time spent with friends to roam the streets with a free foot to kick the can around since standin around had the hand idle i'd a gone wild just standin' around. Freestylin at 10 years old, like we was stars with our hands to the stars, up, reaching that far. But the world done changed so fast. So I grasp tight to that simpler past, right back when the five spot rocked in my sock had me feelin that tight, like "yeah that's right man I'm free at flight" like the sky was wide...open.

Wide open about sums it up. Poach Stevens is equally comfortable going dummy with oakland D-Boys as he is on tour with the Rondo Brothers and the Handsome Boy Modeling School. Born in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania, his voice has an unmistakable eastern twang. His songs are as wide open as a mood swing, from light, silly, sometime self deprecating tracks "I see them", "same song" and "Liberation" to the introspective songs "you one", "the truth", "high as a kite" and "3 women". Latest venture will team him up with Louisville Kentucky's own Finlism (KRS 1, Diamond D) to create the LP "Poach & Fin are The Venture Brothers". The aim is to help you Venture back to the moment you fell in love with hip-hop and simply keep you there. But make no mistake: Finlisms Beats are skillfully crafted and by no means is Poach's flow old. Get ready to laugh, yell, dance, cry and reminisce wth "Poach & Fin are the Venture Brothers".
