Short Set @Flow Lounge 05/14/25

by

Yours truly will rock a short set on 05/14/25 at the Flow Lounge event at Club Cali on Telegraph Ave, Berkeley.

Every Wednesday, NGO Hip Hop for the Future throws the Flow Lounge party. The event features a Rap writing contest, where MC’s write two 16’s on a specific topic, and the winner is selected by the people. (The topic and instrumentals are chosen beforehand.) If you’re interested in participating, please write HHFTF’s page above).

This is when I won several weeks ago!! The topic for that week was educational reform.. so I had more than enough material to go in..

Shout outs to Khafre Jay, DJ Lex, Do Dat, and Frank Stickems, for providing a space where MC’s can MC!!

Kensho Kuma verse on No Emergency Exits

１０１０から今始まる/ 努力が足りてねー奴らが恥かく/ ハングレのケツを蹴っ飛ばすアディダス/ どん底に落ちてから best verse 書き出す/ Imma mix of Das Efx, Tokona-X, and Sean P/ spittin’ game to gaijin models over in Roppongi/ NO all of this superficial luxury’s not me/ I’m writing Raps in solitude then publishing thoughts deep/ 迷い込んだ California underground 迷路/ 今更泣くな非常口はねーよ/ 日本人の大半は無様な英語/ものまねしないで増やせよ名曲/ kick it with Koala what this my Eucalyptus flow/ and all we wants the damn truth, but these dudes’ are fictional/ yeah you won’t catch me waving guns in no music video/ but I’ll be in the global gutters bringin’ you the sickest flow/
