FEATURING

In Late Bloom:

David Ross's new album release celebration and concert!

David Ross, known as “Native Son” to those familiar with him as half of the performance poetry duo The 5th L, is ringing in 2012 with a new album and a new onstage persona. For the first time in his ten year career as a spoken word poet, Ross is performing and recording minus the constant presence of Femi “The Dri Fish” Lawal, the other half of The 5th L. On the heels of landing a permanent exhibit of his work in the Reginald F. Lewis Museum and being honored with a Living Legends award from Baltimore City Council, Ross has teamed up with Kevin “KP” Powe of So Focused Entertainment to created “In Late Bloom” for your grooving pleasure. And while Lawal, along with a collection of some of the area’s talented artists, do help out on the project, it is Ross who takes the lead in directing the album’s themes and style, which are very different from his work with The 5th L.
