There's A Reason They Call It A Scene (Enhanced Media Edition‪)‬

This collection is a story of something unique. What started out hidden in backrooms of pubs and clubs is now entering the mainstream. There’s an emphasis on the search for identity, a yearning for equality and the exploration of new ways of saying things. Spoken word artists are now playing major festivals across the world, gaining millions of views on Youtube and gaining huge social media audiences. Thanks to this phenomenal growth we now have the opportunity to enjoy a snapshot of this fascinating rise to prominence. 


Witness for the first time ever the dynamism of these performance artists in one collection. With live performances, created studio pieces, and live audio tracks this collection bring us to the heart of this new scene.


Featuring more than 100 original written pieces, video footage, audio tracks and illustrations.
