For hip-hop artist Last Standing Poet (LSP),
growing up in the Middle East meant living in a region that still
hadn’t yet embraced the hip-hop culture. In 2001, while still a
freshman in high school, Last Standing Poet witnessed his first real
cypher and his life revolved around hip-hop ever since. During that
year, he began to experiment with beat making while developing his
flow and honing his freestyling. With no one around him to provide
production advice or direction, a young LSP taught himself how to
produce his own beats, and recorded his very first LP in his own
home set up.
Nearly a decade later, LSP continues to live hip-hop. He became so
entrenched with the music, that when he moved to London, England, he
pursued media production at a university-level, attaining a degree
with first-class honors.
During that time he has released numerous projects including: two
EPs, a mixtape, a “Fixtape” that used major artist’s vocals mixed
with his own production work, and several single track releases,
amassing a large repertoire of quality recordings that has turned
the heads of many industry professionals.
Currently still based in the UK, LSP formed his own production
company and independent label, Poetic Front Face ltd. and continues
to fully produce and record his own music from the confines of his
home studio. To round out 2009, he dropped his music video debut,
once again undertaking the direction and editing himself.
In a UK urban scene dominated by grime and dubstep, LSP continues to
focus mostly on “traditional-style” hip-hop. He draws his
inspiration from sounds and styles found in the UK and US, along
with his mixed German and Arab upbringing.
Once holding the number 1 spot on Jordanian radio charts for 3
straight weeks, LSP continues to be heard regionally throughout the
Middle East on DJ Shadia’s “Fifth Element” weekly syndicated radio
show, all while making a name for himself internationally.
We could go on and brag about how great he is, but
fuck it, we just let the music speak for itself.
