Haiku D'Etat (also Haiku d'Etat) is a hip hop supergroup consisting of Aceyalone, Mikah 9 of the Freestyle Fellowship, and Abstract Tribe Unique (ATU) leader Abstract Rude (who had previously worked with Aceyalone as The A-Team), signed to the Project Blowed label, where the group members are also signed. Their name 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 released their eponymous debut album in 1999 (see 1999 in music), and regrouped in 2004 to release a follow up, Coup de Theatre.
