Corporate B-Boyism is a philosophy of liminality. It is the direct result of my growing up Hip-Hop in a middle-class home. It is the point where expensive private schooling and a lifetime of listening to Wu-Tang, Nas, Jay-Z, and Rakim records converge. As a performer, I am as likely to show up in a suit as I am in freshly unique casual gear. Corporate B-Boyism means accessorizing large DJ grade headphones with a cashmere suit. It means cufflinks & French cuff shirts with jeans and a blazer. It means my fedora is flyer than your Nike’s. It is eloquence punctuated with a middle finger and a crotch grab. Word to Michael. Welcome to my world.

The Underclass - Remix [Alternate Take]
Monday, March 8, 2010 at 12:58PM This footage (taken by Jerry Tarantola) is live from Mike Geffner's Inspired Word, an amazing poetry series that I do consulting work for, on February 26, 2010. SoSoon invited me to appear on the remix to his song, "The Underclass". The remix was recorded in January, and this is our first performance of its an alternate version of the track. March 12 marked my final feature performance prior to entering my current performance hiatus. I decided to take this hiatus to attend to personal, corporate, & family business, as well as a ton of work I need to handle in regards to my craft.
I opened my 20 minute performance set with this collaborative effort with SoSoon, which is a prelude of many things to come. Enjoy.

Kalil Kash - The Exit Method [album]
Saturday, March 6, 2010 at 05:26PM ;)
Kalil Kash
When Kalil Kash steps on stage, you have no choice but to take notice. The flaco New Jersey born emcee grabs the mic in his skinny jeans, and rocks it with a commanding vice grip on your attention. It's like LL Cool J's muscle-bound braggadocio has been funneled into a dude skinnier than Mos Def. Not only does he perform the kind of Hip-Hop that is fun, like "Right in the Kissah" (I mean, who doesn't enjoy punching people in the face), he creates the kind of music that is successful on stage and on wax.
