Ras Osagyefo is a Jamaican born poet who never gives a straight answer because he believes there are no straight answers in life. His words are filled with sound and power, the raw creative energy of the universe. One doesn’t just hear Ras Osagyefo, one feels him. He has performed all over the world from Africa to Jamaica, Switzerland to England.

He is the author of a book of poems titled Psalms of Osagyefo Chanting Down Babylon. He was the winner of London’s Farrago Poetry Society best performance poet award in 2002. In a Billboard magazine review of a Truemystic Crew album on which Osagyefo soloed on two tracks, Elena Oumano wrote, “Osagyefo spit fiery rhymes.”

Osagyefo has also performed for the Harvard School of Divinity Lecture series, “Kingdom Rise Kingdom Fall”. He presently resides in Brooklyn from where he watches the world as it goes around in cycles.
