Political hip hop artist, former Baltimore City high school teacher, activist, cancer survivor, sickle cell battler, and recipient of praise by Public Enemy’s Chuck D as “[Leaving] a mean look on somebody’s face” for being “More than relevant!,” S.O.N. doesn’t just entertain his crowds he empowers them. He’s shared the stage with artists like Dead Prez, Immortal Technique, and Tom Morello from Rage Against the Machine as well as activists like Howard Zinn, Cindy Sheehan, Rosa Clemente, and Liam Madden from Iraq Veterans Against the War. Music from his 2004 debut cd “Blood And Fire” has earned him spots on compilations with iconic artists ranging from The Last Poets to Sonic Youth, won him a “Best of Baltimore” award from the Baltimore City Paper, and took “Best Song of the Week” on NPR’s website. S.O.N.’s forthcoming cd, “The Art of Struggle,” is a collaboration with producer DJ Mentos and will be released in early 2008.
Word. People who went to that show are still talking about it so hopefully you'll swing by again.
If you get some free time I'd appreciate you listening to our stuff and giving us some advice. I'm just starting out so I just borrowed some beats. And I realize I sound like a pasty white boy so try to ignore that and listen to the flow and lyrics ha. Let me know what you think. I'd really appreciate your feedback
Yo we blare your music in our dorm all day. Keep grinding. You gotta get your message out there. One of the illest lyrical rappers I've ever heard. One Love.
