Peace. The Creative Sober is a podcast and community, which places the spotlight on individuals on the path of recovery. Of course, there are artists on this journey, and my song Serenity Prayer was featured on their recent podcast. This song from my latest release Ikigai is dedicated to anyone who has experienced addiction and lived to shared their experience and also our fallen angels that we lost along the way.
Please check out the episode featuring Kensho Kuma’s Serenity Prayer!!
Yes yes y’all.. 2026 is starting off with a whole lotta momentum and I’m gonna keep it going. On 01/25/26 at 7:00 PM, I will take part in the Freestyle Flow Fest.. my potna Infinite Chi (Check da Rhyme) facilitates this event at the Complex SF, which is a recording studio/ performance studio in San Francisco. From what I’ve seen, Freestyle Flow Fest is like an improvised Hip Hop variety show, where MC’s are challenged to freestyle about random situations, objects, and characters.
Update: now we have the footage of 01/25/26 Freestyle Flow Fest!!
Although I have never considered myself to be a freestyle MC, I wholeheartedly believe that you must be willing to go off the top of your head (improvise) at a drop of a dime, if you claim the title of MC. To me, freestyling is one component of the craft that I’m always willing to practice.. and I have always felt that spitting in a cypher with MC’s I like and respect is more therapeutic than anything the clinical world has to offer..
Alright, this one for the home team!! I will be doing a short set at the Flow Lounge on 01/16/26.. For those of you who don’t know about FL, it’s a weekly Hip Hop event organized by my man Khafre Jay’s NGO Hip Hop for the Future. It goes down at Cali’s Sports Bar on Telegraph Ave. We have top tier cyphers, featured performances, and a Rap writing contest, where $300 is given to the winners. Oh yeah, it’s a FREE event!! Please come through if you’re in the East Bay!!
Alright, lemme start off the year correctly.. this one is for the community. I’m rocking with The Self Help Hunger Program, which was founded by members of the Black Panther party, and is dedicated to providing meals, clothing, housing support, legal aid, and job training to socioeconomically marginalized folks in Oakland. Shout outs to Eseibio the Automatic for reaching out.
Yours truly is rocking the Spoken Vibrations event @One Love Cafe in San Bruno. The event serves as a the after party for the Downtown Unity Day and is hosted by my homegirl Versoul.
Yay!! My first show back in CA!! I’ll be rocking the Flow Lounge event @Cali’s Sports Bar on Telegraph Ave Berkeley. If you haven’t been to the weekly Flow Lounge event, you’re missing out.. Freestyle cyphers, a weekly Rap writing contest where the winner gets $200, and hella featured artists. It’s like an underground rebel base for cats that love Hip Hop culture and aren’t satisfied with what the major Rap outlets are disseminating..
