Haiku D'Etat (also Haiku d'Etat) is a hip hop supergroup trio/side project consisting of Aceyalone & Myka 9 of the Freestyle Fellowship, and Abstract Rude, the leader of Abstract Tribe Unique (ATU). All three artists are heavily affiliated with Project Blowed, group members Aceyalone and Abstract Rude being co-founders. The name Haiku D'Etat is a portmanteau of haiku and coup d'etat, meaning something akin to a musical revolution or a "poetry takeover" as one of their songs puts it. The group's eponymous debut album was released in 1999, featuring San Francisco Bay-area live musicians David Boyce (saxophone), Emerson Cardenas (bass guitar), Michael Cavaseno (guitar), and Adrian Burley (drums, percussion), who also produced the album. They regrouped in 2004 to release a follow up, Coup de Theatre. As of 2008, each of the members remain frequently featured on each other's albums and videos, and are known to appear as special guests during each other's live stage shows.
