 The duo of Beatnick Dee and Allen Poe are back at it as they drop a new set of visuals for their single “Never Gonna Feel”. The Deacon The Villain and Versailles The Everything assisted song dwells on the nitty gritty of apathy which becomes the standard when an individual decides to make his/her low points the norm.  Each emcee come through with their own unique perspective on dealing with their inner demons over the bass laden soundscape produced by Beatnick Dee.
“Never Gonna Feel” is taken from  recently released Beatnick Dee and Allen Poe EP “Composure”

Allen Poe & Beatnick Dee: “Composure” EP [Album Stream]

by Leave a Comment

Emcee Allen Poe is yet another underrated emcee from the Kentucky area, I swear every time I turned around this man was releasing something. Life hits hard and it hit Allen Poe too and that’s where the EP “Composure” was born. Since the last time we heard from him Allen, he’s transitioned out of his government job and moved to a house in the woods in Kentucky.

Always personal Allen Poe on “Compsure” is no different, we can hear his love for hip-hop, his community and his family. The production done entirely by Beatnick Dee is jazzy, full of samples and fits the mood Poe is painting lyrically. You can stream “Composure” boosting features from Versailles the Everything, Deacon the Villain, Castle and others below. I’ll be reviewing this soon so keep it locked here on Dead End Hip Hop.

About Album:

Though it’s not spelled out as a conceptual album, How Gardens Grow was put together sonically and topically in a way that illustrates the growth a person goes through from early 20’s through early 30’s.

About Artist:

Beats and rhymes were Versailles, Kentucky based MC Allen Poe’s sports and video games growing up. Poe started out recording by overdubbing tapes in his bedroom in the mid 90s. Now a husband, father, son, veteran, videographer and MC, Allen Poe’s love for wordplay and poetry has necessarily grown to accommodate all the situations and thoughts that arise.

Allen Poe – Symmetry & Shade (Produced by Moteleola)

Though Symmetry & Shade is a 3 track concept EP, capturing the upside and hope a man feels at the start of a relationship, followed by the collapse of a failed relationship (Symmetry). The last track is grimey (Shade) and captures the dismayed reflections of the man who has relinquished himself to being obscure and alone and given up on love altogether, writing his experiences with love off as being a misunderstood man.

Allen Poe (1/3 of Frankfort KY’s Basement Up) started out recording by overdubbing tapes in his bedroom in the mid 90s. Since then writing and rhyming have gone from hobby to passion for Poe. His music offers perspective and reflection from his own unique experiences as a son, husband, father, student, veteran and poet.

The 3rd single off the upcoming album “Pocket Full Of Ohms”, is a current look at and reflection of Allen Poe as an artist, his journey, aspirations, tribulations and the cost of his pursuit for the love of being an MC to his personal life. This record is produced by J57.
