Free Immortal Technique "the Martyr" Download

Immortal Technique has a free album
"the Martyr" available for download on his website...

I unconditionally support this man and my number one 2011 Hip Hop
highlight was having the privilege of opening for him @ the Oakland New Parish back in April.

My personal favorite is "Eyes in the Sky," I'm kinda wondering
where the sample is from... tell me if you know...

OMGWTF?

Yours truly will be rocking @ Brainwash on 11/26/11.
This local SF spot is a cafe, restaurant, and a laundromat...
AND they have their own dry cleaning service...
SO, get your dirty socks and flannel shirts
and come through.
My brother Mezmetic will be holding down my set.

Extremely successful show! Props to the homie Patience and
House Kombucha crew!!

Uploaded my most personal song from Projekt Life Force on to Youtube... I have performed Peto numerous times, but I still feel that I'm exposing too much of myself every time I rock this track...

"Exact Science ver2.0" Official Video

"Exact Science ver2.0" is my first official video.
Directed by David Dutton and featuring rhymes in English and Japanese, this song has been the globally tested club banger for a minute... Produced by Kristo (of the Freshmen) and mixed by Todd Cooper @ Street Symphony Studios (Fremont, CA.)

Check it out!

My comrade MeccaGodzilla (メカゴジラ,) a veteran Brooklyn-based

Black Ryu has received some amazing reviews, including one from the Japan Times newspaper. This album is available for sale here

Yours truly is featured on "Minasan" spitting bilingual Street Fighter bars.

I can still hold my own with Ryu, Ken, and Guile, but I never did figure out how to pull off Zangief's 360 piledriver...

Recently on 04/03/11 @ the New Parish in Oakland, I had the opportunity to perform as part of the opening set with my comrades Vomito Lyriko, a Mexican crew located in Oakland, comprising of MC's Raw-G and Steelo and MC Ximbo, straight from Mexico City. I must state that Immortal Technique's Rebel Armz squad is one of the most solid crews I have personally met.

Hip Hop Against Hate

I will be performing a short set @ "Hip Hop Against Hate" @ El Rio on 04/16/2011; Proceeds will benefit Horizons, a youth grassroots center in the Mission. Special shouts to MC Mikhael for hooking it up.

Orukusaki "OAK" Video

My comrade MC Orukusaki recently dropped a paranormal video directed by David Dutton; this video was shot @ the Showdown on 6th Street, several blocks from the U.N. Plaza, and is a regular training ground for open-mic MC's and local DJ's. Yours truly makes a very brief cameo appearance. Other amazing works by David Dutton can be checked out here.

Oakland Lyricist Lounge Show- March

Kensho Kuma & DJ DnZ will be rocking the Oakland Lyricist Lounge show on 03/17/11
@ La Pena Cultural Center in Berkeley (3105 Shattuck Ave. Berkeley CA 94705.)

This venue was one of the first ones that I ever rocked circa '99-ish; I claimed to have had mastery in bilingual lyricism back then, but in retrospect I wasn't even close to comprehending the science involved.

This event will be the first in a string of shows I will be doing in the Bay Area; more dates and locations will be announced soon.

Bay Area legends Conscious Daughters will be headlining this event.
