A little piece of lovely hip-hop:

I’ve spent the past week in NYC and Boston and there are so many updates that will come out in time, not to mention photos that I have yet to edit.

Hung out with The Kominas, realized Boston’s music scene is boss, and visited Harvard with Ms. Jillian York and others. There’s much to say but for now, enjoy the beats. This video is an intersection of my home (the midwest) and Boston’s scene. Meet the Rhymesayers family if you haven’t as well.

And to close my abbreviated post and speaking of home: I went to see the documentary New Muslim Cool and a Kominas performance before the show in Harlem. Again, photos to come but for now, the soundtrack has a great remix of their song “9000 miles” that is all about home and thinking about what it means.

Here’s a sample from blip:

It’s something to think on while I do the same. I’ve got a truckload of lyrics to push through, gladly. Thanks to the Kominas for sharing them.
