September Featured Poet: Mr. 16

Mr. 16, born Tyson Langhorn, is a Peoria native who has been an active advocate in local entertainment since the early 2000’s. From local promoter to nationally recognized battle rapper, he has always shown an interest in the arts. His impeccable wordplay is nothing short of soul food for thought and he has yet to disappoint us, as a seasoned performer at Whisper and Shout! Diverse and intellectual content, within rhythmic lyrical chaos, is the best way to describe Mr. 16’s approach on stage.
