Too Poetic

Too Poetic (b. Anthony Ian Berkeley, 1966 in Trinidad, d. July 15, 2001 in California) was a rapper and producer from the horrorcore rap band Gravediggaz. The eldest son of a minister, Poetic was born in Trinidad and raised in the Wyandanch section of Long Island, New York. After forming his first rap group, Brothers Grym, with his brother Brainstorm, he released a solo 12" single, Poetical Terror/God Made Me Funky, in 1989 on DNA/Tommy Boy records.

However, his deal with DNA/Tommy Boy fell through before the release of his first album, and Poetic fell on hard times, including a period of homelessness.
