Also featuring his original hip hop and gospel infused music, D'Whit opens the door to his most intimate thoughts and revelations while combining theatrical storytelling, rap, video imagery and spiritual insight in a performance that is both compelling and unforgettable.

The term "Musical Poet" means to narrate stories or poetry accompanied by music.
