Haiku d'etat is a rap group/side project comprised of 3 artists: Aceyalone & Myka 9 of the Freestyle Fellowship (FF) and Abstract Rude of Abstract Tribe Unique (ATU). The trio was 1st heard together on their '00 debut self titled release. Offering a jazzy, yet soulful mix of some live musical elements with the bold, socio-conscious lyrics came to define the meaning of the group's name: a poetry takeover.
A 1st album (self-titled) was released to critical acclaim in 2000, featuring live musicians from San Francisco. A 2nd, beat produced Haiku album entitled COUP DE THEATRE was released in October '04. That time around the triumvirate reunited as seasoned veterans with a more enlightened perspective on what they wanted to convey as a group. Realizing each others strengths they took their rightful roles on Coup De... to achieve an incredible blend of Myka the JAZZ, Acey the POET & Ab the SOUL. Late 2004 found Haiku teamed up with Hieroglyphics Posse & Zion I for the CaliComm Tour, which resulted in a Cali Comm 04 compilation lp/dvd.
Since 2005 each Haiku d'etat MC has been releasing or working on mixtapes and solo records (Ab Rude's latest,REJUVENATION IS OUT NOW on Rhymesayers Ent.) All 3 members of Haiku d'etat have thriving solo careers which kept them busy through 2008 on tour and in the studio (Aceyalone & The Lonely Ones -and- Myka 9's 1969 and Magic Heart Genies)
