Trap Poetry is Washington, DC’s premier fusion of spoken word and sound—where the energy of a live R&B party meets the raw emotion of poetry. Curated and hosted by Matt Capone, this signature experience has grown into one of the city’s most influential and talked-about open mic series since its launch in 2018.

Blending the storytelling of spoken word with the vibe of trap, R&B, and live DJ sets, Trap Poetry creates an atmosphere that is felt just as much as it is heard. The night features a dynamic lineup of poets, musicians, and surprise performers, delivering an immersive experience filled with rhythm, passion, and creativity. 

More than just a show, Trap Poetry is a cultural moment—where laughs, snaps, and crowd interaction bring the room to life. Whether you're there for the music, the message, or the vibe, audiences can expect an unforgettable night of soulful expression and high-energy entertainment.

Join us Memorial Day Weekend, May 22nd, at the Howard Theatre for a one-of-a-kind evening where poetry meets the party.
