The early 2000s were a peak time in culture thanks to the advent of def jam poetry.

All in one show, you had rappers like Ye testing out iconic bars, comedians like Maria Bamford cracking up the crowd and the most in-tuned activists reflecting the turmoil of the times.

With that said, it’s a sure shot that attending Dope Poetry Jam in Hyattsville will offer nothing but the best entertainment in the DMV.

Join in on the spoken word event that’s helping DMV creatives skyrocket to the top of culture.
