Tank & The Bangas are up for Best Spoken Word Poetry at the Grammys this year for their album The Heart, The Mind, The Soul, with each song a chapter chronicling the powerful journey of Black womanhood.
“I want for poetry to get that much more respect and for even more young people to get into the expression of poetry,” Tank expresses. “I want it to be seen as even more cool again. Poetry has always been my first love because it loved me back, it loved me before music even.” We’ll let the words flow on “Ghetto Earth.”
