Khaos dwells within
the inner fabric of life
cloaked as poetry
-Kahn Davison
When Symonia (That Poet Girl) Montgomery approached Kahn Davison about forming a poetry duo neither one had any idea what they were getting themselves into.
"I had just self-published a book called, The Art of Making Love when she came at me with the CD project idea and I must admit at first; I was kind of hesitant," says the 2-year old poet. "I really wanted to just focus on my book but after I rolled it over in my head for about a week, I decided to go ahead and roll with it," he went on to say.
"Basically, I liked Kahn''s style, and even though our flows are completely different, I still saw a poetic medium where I felt a collaboration would work," says Montgomery.
Thus KHAOS (pronounced chaos) was born.
"Making the CD was pretty easy, cause we both had the same vision. We both were persistent on making sure that the poems and music were diverse," says Montgomery. Some many poets and artists make CD''s where you can''t tell track 3 from track 13," she went on to say.
The duo more than succeeded. The album debuted November and has already sold an impressive 500 copies.
Davison says, "We have a long way to go, but so far the diversity of the CD has been the main thing people keep telling us that they liked. People''s lives are so complex that we just wanted to present a CD that every one could relate to in one form or another."
They give homage to fellow poets on the intro "Poetry is Khaos." "It''s about that love" takes listeners back to the days when poets wrote just to write. The days before Slams, Def Poetry Jams, etc... Kahn tells his inspirational life story on "Woke Up Khaos." On "The IV", Symonia cuts into the man who broke her heart and on "Release," both poets take erotic poetry to a new level. Symonia is back verbally butchering the source of yet another heartbreak on "One Day". Kahn takes time to poetically acknowledge some of the most tragic events in black history in the clever, "I am change." Symonia makes us understand the pain of loosing a child in "Jayme" then comes right back on the next track singing about being in love with Mr. Right in the beautiful "Your Smile." In "Shine on Jaylen" Kahn makes every black man proud to be a father. Symonia tells her life story in "Khaos woke up" and the duo provide an awesome closing track that will make black men and women all over want to love each other in "United."
