A unique and exhilarating live literature event. Expect an nostalgic, no-clutter, no-fuss, night of hip-hop-inspired poems and favourite hip-hop songs.

20 years ago, one of the greatest albums in hip hop was released. Combining classic rap lyricism and poetry with soul, jazz and funk, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill grew to supersede the hip hop genre in which it was conceived to become one of the greatest albums in the history of music, indeed of all time.

This special R.A.P Party gathers the most incredible contemporary poets writing to create and share new verse in response the timeless songs, the journeys, questions and reflections raised by Lauryn Hill.

The full line-up and running order is as follows:

Mona Arshi, Gabriel Akamo, Emily Berry, Raymond Antrobus, Bernardine Evaristo, Wayne Holloway-Smith, Rachel Long, Lionheart, Vanessa Kisuule, Luke Kennard, Bridget Minamore, Nikesh Shukla, Assumpta Ozua, Theresa Lola and Inua Ellams.
