About me:
I am a force-sensitive karmadelic, Rastafari, Aquarius, B-Boy, activist, mentor, metaphysician, conductor of the subway connection, fully animated in 4 dimensions, a Jedi in stormtrooper armor. I am a HipHop culturalist, verbalist author of Conscience Under Pressure [2004 Fractal Edge Press] and, occassionally, an actor. Since the Fall of 2004, I have been a member of the Chicago arts collective, PolyRhythmic- www.myspace.com/polyrhythmicchicago. I am a performance poet who has appeared in films, lectured and performed at colleges and rocked theatres, clubs, galleries, museums, and streetsides all over North America. I'm currently the Mental Graffiti-Chicago grand slam champ; a former Rustbelt Regional Poetry Slam champion & 2-time finalist; a 2-time semifinalist in 5 National Poetry Slams; and ranked 47th in the world in 2008.
