About me:
I was named Vernon C. Robinson by birth but the community and comrades mostly call me VCR. I am a poet/emcee and a cultural event organizer here in the Boston area. Born and raised in Dorchester, trying to build a positive community for those residing. Engaged in the poetry scene, the Hip-hop culture and all other various arts such as film, theatre, music, dance, etc. Been performing in a few cities and states in the United States such as New York, Connecticut, Atlanta, Chicago, Los Angeles, Maryland, Providence, Dallas and Cleveland. Also visited Cuba in 2002 and met with sista Assata Shakur. Have performed onstage (or have shared the stage) with artists like Les Nubians, Amiri Baraka, The S.O.S. Band, New Birth, Medusa, dead prez, Lakeside, Pharoahe Monch and the Last Poets. I am currently running a poetry gathering in the Roxbury section of Boston called VerBaLizAtiOn, which is the longest running open mic spot in the city. I have also brought forth several annual events as well such as Megacipher (the biggest cultural event for poetry), Maylennium, Devotion...Black Love Day, Winter Words, Young, Gifted & Black (a youth of color event), The Red, Black & Green Affair (tribute to the late great Marcus Garvey) and two others no longer exist called "Body Language" and "SistaHood". I currently have a CD out entitled "Poetic Insanity" and the feedbacks are unbelievably positive. I'm hoping to release a Kwanzaa CD soon which would be called "Habari Gani" as well as a poetry book. For those outside of Massachusetts...please pay a visit to Boston just for the cultural thangs that are happening!!
PEACE!
