Ueezy de Poet, also known as Herman Jatoe, is not here for applause. He’s here to disrupt. To shake the silence. To put a rhythm to the realities so many try to avoid.
Emerging from the raw edges of Ghana’s urban storylines, Ueezy is part of a bold new poetic generation that doesn’t perform for validation it performs for truth. And that truth is often uncomfortable, unfiltered, and urgent.
His words cut through expectations like a hot blade through butter sharp, swift, and deliberate. Behind his bright smile lies a mind that has mastered the metaphor and a heart that knows how to make every syllable land like a fist or a feather depending on the moment.
On August 9th, 2025, at 6 PM at the British Council, Ueezy will take the mic at the Ehalakasa National Poetry Slam Prelims. The room may not be ready. But he is.
Whether he’s unpacking identity, spinning street slang into scripture, or challenging societal myths, Ueezy doesn’t just speak poems he lives them.
The slam stage is about voice, grit, presence and Ueezy de Poet brings all three in generous supply. This isn’t a performance. It’s a prophecy in progress.
