03/15/13 Conscious Hip Hop Night @ the Gilman

GilmanFlierYours truly will be doing a show with Sean E. Depp of the Understudies at the historical punk rock venue, the Gilman, on 03/15/2013… This is the third monthly event of independent Hip Hop at the venue; I’ve done a guest appearance and last minute set the last two months, and they’ve been really fun. The venue is all-ages, doesn’t sell alcohol (but does sell candy and sodas,) and even has a basketball hoop inside, so it’s perfect to bring your awkward teenage nephew just entering puberty.

Here is the cypher which broke out last month at the end of my comrade Ras Ceylon’s set… the audio is pretty horrible, but the energy is undeniable…

Longevity w/ DJ Shin

I recorded “Longevity” w/ DJ Shin this past August in Osaka, Japan. DJ Shin, DMC World Team Finalist, is a long time comrade of mine, and I was featured on his 2003 “World Famous” compilation album. Although I was in Osaka for less than a week, it was a memorable recording session since we haven’t collaborated in close to a decade.

 

Feast! on Hip Hop @ Ear Peace Records 11/23

The good folks @ Ear Peace Records (3268 Adeline Street, Berkeley CA 94703) and I will be throwing “Feast! on Hip Hop” on 11/23. I cannot offer you a better opportunity for you to dance that turkey and stuffing off… I can personally co-sign each and every artist on the roster; I asked each one of them personally and they are all thorough artists I have rocked with throughout my life…

Feast! on Hip Hop line-up:

Candlespit Collective

the Understudies

Kensho Kuma

Orukusaki (Zulu Nation)

IGOT5ONIT @ Icon Lounge

I will be performing with my comrades Orukusaki (Zulu Nation) and Joey Mousepad (Slayer’s Club) on 10/06/12 @ the IGOT5ONIT event @ the Icon Lounge in SF. Orukusaki and I will be premiering our tag-team set, so be sure to come through.. Tickets can be purchased here. I went to this monthly last month when A-Plus rocked it, and it was one of the more enjoyable nights I’ve recently had… would describe it as the good intersection where boom-bap meets Electronica… by Electronica, I mean Dubstep, Glitch-pop, and all those other genres I don’t have much schematic knowledge about, but enjoy nonetheless…

I got 5 on it flyer
