You have to check out Capoeira da rua and Xenogia's DaShade Moonbeam. Not only is he a high-ranking and -scoring slam poet at the National level, but he is a most amazing capoeirista. And I guess I too have a soft spot for any guy who's worked for Planned Parenthood. Yeah, i said it, Planned Parenthood. Now, that's sexy.
