• Smokin' D'bate

SMOKIN' D'BATE is the orginal form of hip-hop spoken word performance developed by Claudia Alick, Dyalekt, and Jesse Alick. Created in 2004 to promote political awareness and voter turn out before the Presidential election, Smokin' D'bate takes the form of Lincoln Douglas Debate adds a DJ and replaces the arguments with poetry and the rebuttles with freestyles. The result is an exciting show that both entertains and educates. Smokin Word produces live shows and runs workshops in this form. For more information contact us at smokin@smokinword.com.
