I sat in the room of Red Clay Café (Downtown, Greenville, SC) noticing many poets preparing to speak…this young man dressed as if he was finally free to relax and sip a glass of wine or two while enjoying the poetry was a few feet away from me. I lost myself as time passed and the set began…

A few other poets had risen the occasion of speaking when called upon and the name Jason aka “Jay Fitty,” was summoned.

I found myself looking around to see who it was and behold the gentleman who I had noticed earlier sitting so calmly, was now rising to the stage. Interesting…
This was the night I encountered the spoken word artist by the name of Jason Franklin, otherwise known as “Max Lit” and “Jay Fitty.”


Originally from South Jamaica Queens, NY (New York), Mr. Franklin truly has his own unique style of MC'ing and written accomplishments. He is known for his militant stance as well as presentation. He has views, points and concepts that catch your ear as well as brains…
Hence the name “Max Lit,” which states the maximum of literacy! Educating the mind and keeping it strong and aware…


Get to know Mr. Franklin….truly a man of great talent!
