Secret Agent 23 Skidoo is on a mission. As a lifetime fan of hip hop and superdad of an awesome daughter, he realized the need for hip hop that spoke straight to the magic mindset of the kids and still kept the parents nodding along on the 5000th listen. If you're a parent, you know what I'm talking about.
Alchemetically mixing the classic golden age hip hop drum and sample foundation with a slew of talented musicians, 23 Skidoo created 13 tracks with influence ranging from bluegrass and reggae to blues and funk. Then, to top it off, he balanced equal parts party rhymes for youngsters, reminding them to have fun, stay true to themselves, and get out and enjoy life, with a host of characters and wild stories, from the last dragon left on earth to a retelling of the Aesop "grasshopper and ants" fable in which the grasshopper comes out on top. He asked his daughter to name the album, and thus "Easy" was born.
With over a decade of recording, performance, and production under his belt, the music and sound quality of this album is remarkable. And with 6 years of chilling with one of the coolest little girls on earth, the song concepts hit the bullseye for the 3-13 crowd.
The song "Luck" enjoyed multiple weeks at1 on the XMkids charts, and kidsmusicthatrocks.com said, "Easy is easily one of the top ten children's albums of 2008."
From the back and forth crowd rocking, "Gotta Be Me" to 5 year old Saki's stunning rap debut on "Family Tree", this album will be a sound for sore ears, both young and old.

This is from the 48 hour dance festival at the Be Be Theatre. There were 5 choreographers who were randomly assigned 6 dancers each and were given 48 hours to create a piece and then perform it. The dancers all had various experience levels from different disciplines. It was very challenging and awesome. Mad kudos to the dancers who gave me 100%. I can't thank them enough! When I get permission, I will post the other pieces from the show on youtube.
Thanks for adding us! My kids and I think you are sooo cool! Tell Saki she's super cool! Been sending everyone we know the Gotta Be Me video on youtube. Hope you and the fam are all well~ ~Peace and Much Love~ lelania and girls
