Crooked Poet consists of Nathan “Originate” Guerra and Chad “WEIGHT” Scarlett.  The two met free styling in cyphers at high school parties in early 2003 and by the end of 2004 were recording freestyles and songs for mixtapes.  Wherever Crooked Poet was, a studio and microphone were always close by whether it was in WEIGHT’s mobile home or rooms lended to them by friends and family.  Eventually, what started out as a personal artistic endeavor to escape the troubles of everyday life turned into something much more.  The duo has been writing, producing, and composing songs in the lab ever since and after almost 10 years of perfecting the craft, a very new and unique sound emerged.   Originate's soulful melodies and harmonic voice along with WEIGHT’s  up tempo, live instrument sound and punctual execution merged to create something that has the potential to push the boundaries of hip hop and music in general to a new level.   Currently, Crooked Poet resides on the independent DFW powerhouse Audio Compulsive Disorder Music Group; hard at work on their upcoming self-titled E.P. as well as their soon to come full length album.  Crooked Poet makes their powerful music from scratch.  They develop, make beats, mix and master all their music in their own personal studio for commercial distribution.  Such a feat is rare amongst local artists…So what is their goal? Money....cars...clothes...No, none of the above.  It is solely to infuse the world with unique music, inspiring others to manifest positive ideas in life.  Crooked Poet’s aim is to open eyes to the truth that life isn't about glorifying the murder of others, how many drugs you can deal, or what kind of car you drive; but rather the road you choose to take, the people you love, and the memories you manage to keep. With the amount of talent between these two individuals it’s only a matter of time before they reside at the top.
