Review of Rise and Swell

Danielle Simpson's Rise and Swell powerfully explores the pain and struggles of growing up in a violent community which imposes a tragic destiny on it's youth. Through spoken word, Simpson flawlessly displays raw emotion with such force that it is almost impossible to fully appreciate each crafted line with only one listening. Each powerful verse envelops the listener and conveys true passion through this tragic masterpiece.
