HIP HOP as A WHOLE !!!
When it comes to street/club/concert promotion, I am one of the pioneering and
ground breaking forces that the L.A. Underground scene has produced. If you
heard of Project Blowed, Freestyle Fellowship, Aceyalone, 2-Mex, Medusa,
AfterLife, BusDriva, Pigeon John, Murs, Rifleman, Project Blowed Open Mic
Workshop - Thursdays in Leimert Park, CA, Club RequestLine, Underground
Superfest, B-Boy Kingdom or Kingdom Come! U CAN BLAME ME !!
I worked my ass off for the L.A. underground scene promoting 5 years at RapPAGES
Magazine (remember that?) - and writing the B-Boy Kingdom "Clubs Dubs &
Hook-Ups" column with the help of G-Money and Hannibal Tabu, 10 years or so with
KAOS Network / Project Blowed, Hip-Hop One Network, B-Boy Kingdom (remember
that). Afterward I began booking shows locally and then
nationally/internationally as I became Tour Manager/Booker/Street Promoter for
local acts such as Aceyalone, Freestyle Fellowship, Rifleman, Medusa, p.e.a.c.e.,
Mika 9, Haiku de Tat, Abstract Rude & ATU, DJ Drez, Acid Reign, Meen Green,
Sista Stroke (Texas), ShortBus (Memphis) Giant Panda, Anticon, Ed-O.G. (Boston),
Otherwise, Dream Nefra (Oakland), Rasco (San Fran) and MAAN how I loved working
with G&E and Scarub (S.I.A.M.) of the Living Legends (Bay Area).
