"We breathe in, we breathe out." So simple, but when this kid said it, it felt as if he changed my reality. This was amazing, I will breathe out yesterdays air ... FREAKING amazing.

Here we are a year later and stunned by 13 year-old Solli's self-penned poem and delivery at today's Commonwealth Games Closing Ceremony. 4 minutes long, dramatic and unhesitating - just amazing! I'm sure it'll be on UA-cam soon.
Eminem been real quiet since this dropped
he is scared
😁😁🤣🤣
i put an XXXTENTACION beat over this and it sounded amazing
Yessir
LOL
WOW! Thank you!!! It was an absolutely amazing opportunity to be involved with such an inspirational group of people! Best night ever!!
Solli, Wow indeed! You were amazing! This brought tears to my eyes. I've shown your video to my two boys, 7 and 9 year olds, to try and inspire them to get creative. Well done.
dude you were insane. so honoured that I got to perform alongside you, never stop writing.
Solli Raphael I can't wait to see what you decide to do for a career- you have an amazing level of awareness for a young boy your age that would rival that of people in my age group of 41.
Best wishes to you.
Solli Raphael ,
Congratulations, young sir.
That was a seriously righteous piece delivered with an absolutely flawless flow.
I caught your performance (a different piece) at the Coffs heat and was absolutely blown away.
Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Incredible performance. The delivery is outstanding and the words are beautiful.

So good !!
Straight up bars!

Beautiful.
astonishing
🤓🤓this is absolutely amazing i cant flipping hold myself in while listening to this🤓🤓
the kids amazing
Beautiful
He is a 12 year old kid. He deserves love and support and plenty of respect for performing so confidently in front of a crowd. I hope I will be forgiven for not kneeling before him or behind him - what was all that about? unless you are part of the performance, perhaps you should vacate the stage. I found it kind of creepy. Anyway, Solli, if you are reading this, the world needs it's poets and I wish you all the best.
Putting this is slow mo is the best
Keep it up. We need more bright young people like you in the world.
Wonderful
Man really said rise up
