<p>Check out spoken word poetry by Reek Da Poet. Reek says he wrote &#8220;Real man&#8221; based off of the experiences he&#8217;s encountered while growing up in the hood. </p>
<p>&#8220;With these words that I preach I am hoping to reach out to black men from the hood. I want to tell them that there is more to life than just selling drugs and running the streets. So many black men either get locked up or never make it out of the hood. Instead of using all of their knowledge that they have trapped inside of them. I hope this inspires them to make a change.&#8221;</p>
