The Beginning Of A Legend

"Enter: Oveous Maximus"

There comes a time when you meet someone that not only inspires you but brings something new to the table. When I met Oveous Maximus he did exactly just that. Not only were his words on point but his performance gave me a sense of pride to have the same Dominican heritage, and I admit that I really don't raise that flag as I should. After hearing some of Oveous's delivery & word flow, one can only be inspired to write or do something creative. I am also glad that he was able to bless us with his presence at the last Culture Clash event as our special guest feature.
It was only a few years ago that Oveous Maximus introduced himself to the world as a poet/spoken word artist, when he was just a rapper from the streets of Lil D.R., otherwise known as Washington Heights in New York City, just trying to honor the memory of his late brother's gift after he passed.
Since his appearances at the world famous Apollo theater, and on the critically acclaimed HBO series Def Poetry produced by Russel Simmons; he is now ready to show you who he really is .. a Music aficionado....
