Maxi-Sinlgle Out on iTUNESA native of upstate New York and former Division I basketball player, A.D., the VOICE has committed his life to Hip Hop culture and its potential for social transformation. He has done so in spite of his success at the most elite academic institutions in the worldâ€”Oxford University and Harvard Law. The first black Rhodes Scholar to graduate from Colgate University, A.D.â€™s story is singular and paradigm shifting. With him, a new narrative in Hip Hop emergesâ€”one rooted in black intellectual excellence and the human struggle for peace and truth. Bolstered by a rich and pristine voice, A.D.â€™ s lyrics explode with eloquent urgency and lucid angst, leaving the listener both enriched and inspired. A rare combination of accessible charm and abrasive truth telling, A.D. personifies the future of Hip Hop and in so doing tickles the imagination.

Event recap:
Common brought the house down during the kick off of Heineken Red Star Soul in Los Angeles. The Chicago native mixed old favorites with new joints off "Finding Forever," gave the crowd a clever freestyle and pulled one lucky lady out of the crowd for an on-stage dance and serenade.

Chrisette Michelle got the night off to a soulful start when she opened for Common. She belted out the hottest hits off her debut album "I Am." D.C. native son Raheem DeVaughn was also in the building and put on an impromptu performance that ignited the crowd.

During the evening, Heineken honored L.A.-based artist and executive Antonio "A.D. the Voice" Delgado as one of the 2007 recipients of the Heineken Independent Achiever Award.
