The Jamboree will be hosting Re: Verse, a special one day only event providing the platform for those who use the spoken word as a device to destroy/reform/transmute oppression and violence in society today, particularly against women.

Osama
Osama is a Hip Hop MC and poet who grew up in the Midlands and moved to New York to train as an actor in Theatre, Film and TV. On moving back to the UK, he moved to London and began to pursue his Rap career. His music and poetry covers everything from political, spiritual and revolutionary themes to more personal subjects of love, life and loss. Some describe his work as political or revolutionary, but he refers to himself simply as an ’emcee’ or poet.

Yvonne Eba
I am currently 22 and have a passion to teach creative. I have been writing since the age of 12. I am a poet and a rapper whose work generates around life, love, pain, the struggle, the great times and all the above. I love music and I aim to put my name in lights and go the furthest I can. I have been on a lot of underground stations such as Linkuptv, Grimeblog, Cameraman Cketch. I have performed at a lot of poetry events as well and I aim to establish myself.

Travelled to Palestine with a group called FREE2B, worked with women in theatre companies as well as young children in refugee centres.

Callum Mckenzie
Hailing from south west London Callum Mckenzie is an enthusiastic musician/poet with no other asperation than to spread and sew the musical seed..
wether it’s playing guitar in the Smoking factory, Jamming through the night or waxing lyrical on the mic. He will always find a reason to keep the beat going.
Crossing and infusing styles and speaking his own kind of truth to the masses.

Will Hilton
Like the orange, Will Hilton has been told he has neither rhyme nor reason. However this has not stopped the self-proclaimed ‘comedian’ and beat/street poet from trying his darn hardest to speak out against the mundane horrors of middle-class suburban life. A blend of directionless screaming and bumbled apologies that has been made to leave both performer and audience uncomfortable. He is also sorry for this.
Archetype
Archetype is a poet and a rapper who uses his life experiences and what he sees around him to inspire his work. Archetype has been rapping for sometime but only started getting involved in the poetry circuit 2 years ago.
Melissa Melodee
Melissa Melodee was born and raised in the industrial city of London. She has been singing since she was 5, writing poetry since she was 8, and began rapping when the genre grime erupted but later started rapping to HipHop. She now mixes all of her vocal abilities together and has travelled great distances around the world sharing her art. Melissa Melodee participated in a HipHop exchange in Spain with ‘End of the Weak’ (EOW) in 2010 where she made a collaborative album with artists from France, Spain, Germany, Italy and Czech Republic. She recently arrived back from Malaysia where she collaborated with 30 artists from around the world at the World Economic Islamic Forum with the audience of the Malaysian Prime minister and Sultans of Johor Bahru. She continues to show her art and hopes to release an EP soon!

Kristian Deltchev
‘A part-time poet who doesn’t really know it but strives to grow it from the heart and show it through each moment of art while we take a fresh breath upon the uninhibited path’
Lucy Macieira
I’m an urban poet concerned with life as a woman and life as an artist. i rear from south east london, and i got the bite to go with it. my work takes a political edge, i’m against the state, against the system, against patriarchy and against inequality of any kind. these are the things that inspire my tongue.
