5 Reasons To Watch "Verses & Flow"

TV One’s  show, “Verses and  Flow,” which is engineered by Lexus, brings poetry to life, offering viewers a rare chance to see spoken word performances from familiar music artists, right alongside world renowned poets. Here are five reasons why you should not miss a single episode:

1) Laz Alonso

Each episode is hosted by accomplished film and television actor, Laz Alonso (An alumnus of Howard University, best known for his portrayal of Jason Taylor in the romantic comedy “Jumping the Broom”). Alonso introduces each segment of the show, highlighting the resurgence of spoken word.

2) You Can Relate

Whether you’re just a casual fan of spoken word or a hardcore Slam junkie, you will undoubtedly relate to the messages of these poets.  The topics run the gamut from a woman sharing her struggles with the world’s perception of her beauty to a rapper who can’t figure out how to remain relevant and real at the same time.  The performances here put the “tell” and “vision” back in television.
