[@CoCre8ors]

This is one of the realest conversations I’ve ever heard!! Benjamin is a living Legend!!

[@unlostm8]

Randomly met Loyle around 3 years ago, lovely chap

[@luisphillips5415]

he put the sexy in dyslexic

[@sweet2def]

This is great on SO many levels. For Arts, Culture, the era, just WOW!

[@graceomalley4]

Wow! What a joy. Strong men can be gentle. Compassion complements masculinity in their interaction. The young man credits a female mentor, Kate Tempest. His music is gorgeous. And Zephaniah is just wonderful: I need to read gangsta rap.

[@illiapenrosa5016]

im not dyslexic, but as a writer, reading books are the bain of my life, but the spoken word is my litterature and poetry is a vessel for the ones who can not write or read, it is a visual communication and a musical inspiration i love these talks inspiring even as a mature student doing a ba (hons)English, im an unquilified pupil of the street pmsl ;) #lovelightlaughter/movement

[@marciaanneescoffery7194]
