The YOBO Report Part 1: White back at you

It’s 5am and I’ve been up since 3 because I can’t stop thinking about being white. I’m not trying to BE white. I am white. I’m trying to figure out what that means, or what it means to me anyway. I have been trying to figure it out for the last year, ever since my […]

East Jerusalem story

I heard a story today, about East Jerusalem. It’s about a family, a Palestinian family of Islamic Arabs, that want to build a home.

New Spoken Word: TAKE IT FROM HERE (warning: it’s 6mins)

My freshest Spoken Word piece inspired by the new Black Moss album “Public Interest”. This cat is one of the most astute yet humble minds to ever make a microphone a message. Black Moss for president. This is for you homie. [Words:] Did you hear that? Did you HEAR that yo? I’m saying, let’s […]

STEP UP support

Graffiti can be a nasty business. There is so much ego at stake when the main purpose of your expression is to gain anonymous fame by writing your name on everything.
