Name: Curtis - My People by Curtis Lavon
Duration: 3 min 57 s
Description: With everything that is going on the world with racism and police brutality. I think its important to address my people as a whole on what happened to us in history and how it has translated generations and centuries later. Hiphop and jazz has been a definite influence over my culture and my household. I just want to speak to it using a spike lee type feel from the great J. Dilla producing.

Curtis - My People

Curtis Lavon Burton (born Sept. 5, 1989), known as Curtis Lavon, is an American poet from Columbia, SC. Lavon embarked on his poetic journey as an artist shortly after 2011  when he suffered a series of heart attacks in Greenville, SC. He stated, "While I was in the hospital, I heard music yet the room was either quiet or full of visitor chatter. And it was like I knew what I needed to do." It would not be until January 2015, when Curtis Lavon was discovered at Greenville's Coffee Underground poetry venue by Say What Slam Master Moody Black who influenced his  his poetic penmanship and development as an artist. A year later April 2016 he dropped his first poetic work entitled "Lipservice."
