Alicia Leafgreen
Do you remember the "Golden Age" of hip hop?
Alicia Leafgreen from Minneapolis Minnesota does, and she is taking it back to the roots of hip hop, retro style.
As an old school influenced hip hop emcee she has gathered followers with her "old school-new style" hip hop, and retro linguistic flow.
Her style is reminiscent of the golden days of the hip hop era, influenced by both East and West coast styles.
Alicia sounds like an emcee rocketed forward in time from 1992 and tactfully preserved.
After recently rocking a sold out stage for Hip Hop against Homophobia at the Nomad and opening for national lesbian hip hop duo YO! Majesty, Minneapolis based emcee Alicia Leafgreen announces the release of her new EP titled "The White Lesbian Rapper EP".
The five song EP with bonus track is currently available for purchase at Twin Cities and San Francisco retail locations and online!
BIO
Do you remember the “Golden Age” of hip hop? Alicia Leafgreen from Minneapolis Minnesota does, and she is taking it back to the roots of hip hop, retro style. As an old school influenced hip hop emcee she has gathered followers with her “old school-new style” hip hop, and retro linguistic flow. Her style is reminiscent of the golden days of the hip hop era, influenced by both East and West coast styles. Alicia sounds like an emcee rocketed forward in time from 1992 and tactfully preserved.
During this time, hip-hop saw a large circle of these artists promoting black pride, unity, and self-awareness. In Alicia’s case, her music is sensitive to the inner political struggles of the GLBT community. She uses hip hop as an educational platform to speak and educate about issues and politics, the way an artist of that time period would.
Alicia has vocal power and staying ability in her lyrics and music, with songs written to inform educate, teach moral lessons, and entertain all at once. Her sound is similar to a female Eminem with a stage presence and power of Public Enemy’s Chuck D.
Since 2005 Alicia has been working with multi-platinum producer and recording artist Matt “Dr” Fink formerly of Prince and the Revolution/NPG. Alicia says “Matt is incredible we have so much musical chemistry between us. Together we could create any sound imaginable from any point in musical history”
Dr. Fink says of Alicia “She writes her raps straight from the most intimate parts of her soul and reveals her thoughts with unashamed bravado. She doesn't pull any punches and tells it like it is.” The pair are still hard at work on Alicia’s full length disk, currently unnamed with no present release date.
She is set to release her first disk, an EP appropriately titled “White Lesbian Rapper” due out in the Summer 2008, Featuring musical production by Alicia and Dr. Fink as well as hip hop producer Rick Flare from Columbus, Ohio.

On November 7, 2009: HotDish (1st Saturdays @ BLACK) presents "A LOCAL’S GUIDE TO TRAIN WRECKIN’ (_NOT)" featuring Bryan Gerrard (Celebrity), Soulfeather (Caterpillar), Nate Laurence (Bunch-o-labels / BLACK) and J. Matthews (Hot-N-spicy / BLACK).
We know you love it local – naughty famished monkeys! So, we’re using all locally grown ingredients this time. It’s a neighborhood cookout in November! Gluttony will be strictly enforced (but wear what you want)!
Bryan Gerrard: Um…do we need to write an intro Twin Cities househeads? What’s cool though…ready for this…we’re forcing him to resurrect the “deep” from his many days in the VIP; remember…when the place bumped and we all had tears in our eyes because the music actually did move us? Yep…that!
Introducing DJ Soulfeather to the VIP: If you don’t know him yet, he’s got the funkiest collection of tracks you’ve ever heard. The B-boys/girls in town have started to collect in a small cipher in front of him every Saturday at the Caterpillar Lounge where he is a resident – merely because he is…well…the “freshest kid.” We met him during gigs in Duluth at the Red Star and dragged his ass to the cities with us!
And…you’ll get a true taste of HotDish residents this time: Nate Laurence and J. Matthews – giving it to you unnaturally dope for the middle half of the night.
TOO MUCH LOVE freaky (Crisco Twister) lovers: REMEMBER that when you enter the side door, you get free crossover to TML. Double your pleasure, double your fun! You're invited. We'd love to see you in the VIP!
