Poets from Russell Simmon's Def Poetry Jam performed Monday night at Howard University's Cramton Auditorium as part of the university's homecoming celebration this week.
Leading up to the special guests were poets from the Howard community known as Messiah, Rasheem, Drew "Droopy" Anderson and Rhonda, according to Howard University's student newspaper The Hilltop.
The poet Rasheem, also known as Moos, wore a shirt that read, "I love blazing the mic" while he recited a piece about chocolate milk.
Drew Anderson performed comedic poetry for the audience.
"It's this one thing that got me itching!" Anderson said, while singing a song about sexually transmitted diseases.
Coordinators of the event hope the show will be the beginning of an ongoing annual showcase at Howard's homecoming in the future.
