Artists of Color, from the Bay Area & New York, come together for an evening of spoken word, poetry, hip-hop & music. "Denizen Kane comes with one of the most unique styles of rap that has surfaced from the deep underground. He takes the Jamaican rap form used by KRS-One in Sound of the Police and later Sublime, and blends it with a rigid chant that creates a hypnotic count inside the listener’s head making the listener’s head bob unconsciously." TheOG.net: Hip-Hop News from the OtherGround.From the rum and coke rumble of Chicago's North Side flow spots to the celluloid veneer of Def Poetry Jam's main stage, DENIZEN KANE rips the party with a poet's heart and an outsider's eye. Journalistic, impressionistic, real-life and drastic, young Kane's late night Red Line revelations turn into heathen hymns on tape, capturing the moody face of the metropolis in color. How long can a lost one roam until he finds his way home? Listen to your city fall apart through the muddy mouth of an immigrant.
