Bio
I rap a lot. I didn't used to. I used to be really shy. But I had all of this heavily political ranting that I wanted to do. I wrote a bunch of it in ....my books...., but a lot of people didn't have time to read many books. Sign of the times I guess. So I put the messages from my books into rap songs and posted them on the internet. There were some people on the internet who thought that just keystyling on the internet without actually getting up in front of an audience was weak (like a koala). I disagree. But I did, however, understand that being able to get up on a stage would add a much deeper dimention to the lyrics I was writing. So I started performing in front of a person or two. I started getting encouragement. I had good days and bad days trying to rock a mic. Most people don't decide to become MCs in their mid 30s. I have never cared what most people do. I do my own thing. I discovered that people really liked it when I did my political ranting really LOUD and moved around a lot. So I started doing a lot of that. THen I started getting invited to perform a lot more. I've performed for crowds of 300 and 400 people now. I'm getting used to it. If you are a fan of my political ranting, please know that I appreciate it. Thank you. ....� � I'm generally down to collaborate on whatever, pretty easygoing about people using my voice and lyrics in things, happy to show up for a good cause, of good humor and and good cheer. However, it can be said that I have a low tolerance for injustice and apathy. Sometimes I look pretty hostile, but I'm probably just thinking with intensity. "Hip hop is NEVER afraid to let anyone be who they are... has a low tolerance for phony though. " Please leave a comment, .. -Alex.... -

Alex.... There's a guy named Kirk. He beatboxes for me from time to time. He's rad..... Often I play out with the band called the Bloodthirsty Vegans which is an ever changing line up of folks including Mike Delaney, Janna Willoughby, Dave Harter, Ben Sachs, Bryan Lohr, Kaitlyn Gardner and several others. Sometimes I do a kind of funk poetry thing with musicians from Gruvology and other local poets and we call it soundverb some lyrics: Green to tha Earth to tha Al.. I'm your planet Earth pal.. Porque polucion tabien es muy mal.. My rap name is Alex.. My real name is Alex.. Black, white, poly.. plus I'm down with the chalice.. So how now brown cow.. How you like me now?.. I got the two year old shoes blues.. How's that for style?.. And these the cleanest clothes.. I've had on in a while.. So you better hug me now.. By tomorrow I'll be foul.. I'll rock this mic .. for any crowd that you like.. Get around town on a rickety bike.. If that ain't cool..... I don't care what cool is.. If I just drank some wheat grass juice.. that's my biz more lyrics: If we could be PEACE.. the women could be safe one the streets.. and no bombs would drop from 30,000 feet.. all children could have plenty to eat.. And the superstars could be the ones who cure disease.. Be PEACE and every day could be hugs, kittens and apple juice.. Israel and Palestine could call a truce.. And we could love the Muslims and the Jews.. And report it on the news that you no longer have to choose -
