Alright. I am teaming up with Do D.A.T., Aima the Dreamer, and Senor Gigio to bring you the Prestige of MCing on 07/03/2026 at Spats in Berkeley. This event is dedicated to the craft of MCing and the veterans who have adamantly pursued it. Please get your tickets here and invite your folks with the FB event page!
Yours truly will be hosting the Flow Lounge weekly event on April 1st, 2026. Flow Lounge is where Hip Hop culture resides in the East Bay.. it’s organized by the NGO Hip Hop for the Future and occurs every Wednesday night at Cali’s Sport Bar on Telegraph in Berkeley.. we have an open mic where hella MC’s come through and spit, regular featured performers, and a rhyme writing contest where $300 in prize money is given out. If you’re interested in competing in the contest, please read this post.. and good luck.
I’m making this an unofficial ROTC reunion.. if you were in our rhyme infantry at Return of the Cypher during the near decade we had the event going, it would be great to cypher with you again. Please where your dog tags if you still have ’em!!
Alrighty then.. next up is Fermented Flows at the Shanty Shack in Santa Cruz. The homie Neema MC came and got me for the “bilingual edition” of the event, so I gotta go sharpen my 日本語 blade.
Here are songs where I’m going 100% in Japanese..
I do the last half of this one in Japanese too..
So yeah, wear your kimonos and come through!
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.
You can view the event on the Complex Twitch channel and also on the Complex YouTube channel.
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!!
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..
