In a world craving authentic expression, Da’Poetic Plug Open Mic emerges as a beacon of revival, where anointed words cut through the noise to touch souls. Founded and hosted by Earnestine L. Smith, known to the stage as Kee-Kee Da Poet, this platform transcends traditional open mics. It weaves prophetic floetry— that potent blend of poetry and prophecy—with raw performances that spark spiritual breakthroughs and communal healing. Whether in vibrant Clubhouse rooms or electrifying live stages like Chicago’s experiences, Da’Poetic Plug invites artists to unleash their voices, testimonies, and God-given gifts.
The Genesis: Earnestine’s Vision Takes Flight
Earnestine L. Smith’s journey into poetry began as a divine calling, evolving from personal poetry collections like her emotionally charged series to a global stage. As the visionary behind Da’Poetic Plug, she created a space for “poetic floetry” that honors the prophetic edge in every rhyme. What started as intimate Clubhouse gatherings has grown into a movement, featuring co-hosts such as Greo Da Poet, Lady Papyrus, The Joy, Mai Poets, Phoenix, and Tabatha “Joy.”
These sessions aren’t just performances; they’re altars where words ignite revival, drawing hundreds weekly to share and witness transformation.
The name “Da’Poetic Plug” symbolizes plugging into divine inspiration, much like plugging in a mic to amplify truth. Earnestine’s transparency in her own story—from life’s rollercoasters to deliverance through faith—infuses every event. Attendees often describe it as a “kingdom family” reunion, where vulnerability meets victory.
Chicago Experiences: Where Revival Hits the Streets
Nothing captures Da’Poetic Plug’s live energy like Earnestine’s Chicago Experiences. The July 25, 2025, event at 7757 S. Greenwood Avenue became legendary—a night of lyrical fire under one roof. Picture the venue pulsing with neon lights mirroring Kee-Kee’s signature pink afro, as artists took the stage for spotlights that felt like personal prophecies. Faye Austin and others delivered sets that prompted on-the-spot testimonies: one performer shared how her poem unlocked years of suppressed grief, leading to a collective prayer moment.
These events immerse crowds in “raw power,” as Earnestine describes, with spoken word evolving into prophetic declarations. Past Chicago shows featured mega floors of freestyles, where participants reported breakthroughs—jobs manifested, relationships mended, callings clarified. The 2025 edition set the bar, blending local Chicago talent with Plug family favorites, proving spoken word’s role in urban revival. Fans raved online: “It’s not just an event—it’s a vibe that lingers,” echoing the transformative atmosphere.
Clubhouse Events: Virtual Altars of Anointed Expression
For those unable to travel, Da’Poetic Plug’s Clubhouse open mics offer intimate revival at your fingertips. Every 4th Friday at 8 PM EST (like August 22, 2025, or September 12), the room fills with prophetic floetry. Hosted by Kee-Kee with her co-host squad, sessions kick off with “The Word of the Day” devotionals, transitioning to open mics where artists plug in for 2-3 minute spotlights.
Artist spotlights shine bright: Greo Da Poet drops conscious bars, Lady Papyrus weaves intricate narratives, while guests like Psalmist Yolanda Loving add worship layers. Testimonies flood the chat— “That poem broke my chains!” or “God spoke through your words.” One December 2025 finale drew record listeners, ending with prayers for the new year. Even in virtual form, the energy feels tangible, fostering connections across time zones.
Prophetic Floetry and Breakthrough Testimonies
At its core, Da’Poetic Plug thrives on prophetic floetry: poetry laced with divine insight that ministers as it entertains. Earnestine exemplifies this, her sets drawing from personal healings in books like Bound by Love, where readers testify to freedom from heartbreak. Live performances amplify this—one Chicago artist shared how her stage moment led to sobriety, crediting the Plug’s anointed atmosphere.
Breakthrough testimonies abound. A 2023 YouTube clip captures post-performance shares: hydration metaphors turning into spiritual refreshment analogies, mystery poets emerging with profiles ablaze. Virtual rooms see similar miracles—listeners DMing Earnestine about salvations prompted by a single verse.
These stories fuel the revival, proving words as weapons against despair.
Looking Ahead: Relaunch and Global Revival
After a purposeful pause post-December 2025, Da’Poetic Plug relaunches February 13, 2026, at 8 PM EST on Clubhouse, with a sleek new website crafted for seamless access. Expect expanded artist spotlights, hybrid Chicago-style events, and more prophetic integrations like “All The King’s Men” podcast tie-ins on

Earnestine hints at international expansions, inviting global voices to the Plug family. As revival spreads, Da’Poetic Plug remains a testament: anointed words don’t just entertain—they ignite lasting change.
