Self-Assured, yet unassuming, SCEF, Newton's favorite son steps unto the music
landscape fusing classic hip-hop sounds with poignant spoken word. Born Charles
Forward, the sleepy eyed artist attributes his success to the wisdom imparted to him
by his mother, and his mother's mother, both of whom he pays tribute to in his
debut project "Hip-Hop Is Poetry" released in August of 2004.
Since his youth SCEF has performed in talent showcases demonstrating his knack
for using his southern accent and humble roots to exemplify how the very simple
can give insight into the very profound. In 1993, SCEF's desire to pursue his music
career brought him from Newton, TX to Houston. An attitude of self sufficiency led
him to become known as one of the most prominent promoters of spoken word
venues in the Houston area. In 2002, SCEF founded HoustonPoets.Com as a
vehicle to unite the sometimes fragmented spoken word scene. Though he had
made many strides as a spoken word artist, SCEF never left his hip-hop roots. His
lyrical prowess as both a rapper and a poet is showcased in his 2004 debut release
which is widely accepted by fans of hip-hop and poetry.
