Our guest poet tonight is Tha Grinchy UNO!
Biboye Niweigha aka “Tha Grinchy UNO” is a Nigerian spoken word artist that has resided in south side Shark City(San Jose) for the majority of his life. The melange of a former hobby of b-boying (break-dancing) and hip hop fandom has a massive amount of leverage on his promethean approach to poetry. The motifs of his poems include life lessons and abstract depictions of popular subjects in society. He is known for dynamic presentations of spoken word pieces by utilizing energetic body language as if he is dancing to the words being uttered.
