It’s kinda like when your parents go on vacation and they bring you back some bullshit “My Mom went to <vacation spot> and all I got was this lousy t-shirt” t-shirt…EXCEPT I took my son @yazi13 to @afropunk in #Brooklyn this past weekend and we both brought back THIS photo of us kicking it with Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, Doug Wimbish and Will Calhoun of @livingcolour and Darryl Jenifer of @BadBrains (Earl Hudson and Dr. Know of Bad Brains, and John Norwood Fisher of Fishbone were out of frame)!!! Thanks to @davemarren and @jooxit for hooking us up with the meet-and-greet! #BucketList #FamilyGoals #MotherSonColorCoordination #LvingLegends #BadBrains #LivingColour #Fishbone #Afropunk #OATW #CincinnatiSquad #punk #ska #hardcore #CultOfPersonality #PartyAtGroundZero #BannedInDC #IAgainstI @vurnt22 @coreyglover @dougwimbish @willcalhoundrum (at Afropunk 2016)

Float like a #Butterfly (of #DigablePlanets). One of the best shows I've seen of any genre. Ever. Much love to DP, their ridiculously talented band and especially to @officialladybugmecca, who so effortlessly reminded us that women have been in hip hop from jump and that we bring something beautiful and necessary to the table. ❤️. Many thanks to all of you, and #CampLo, for bringing your artistry and love to #Cincinnati. Looking forward to seeing #IshmaelButler with @shabazzpalaces at @afropunk in August! #alternativehiphop #artrap #spaceistheplace #brooklyn #hiphop #wordsoundpower #loveisallaround (at The Woodward Theater)

#PartyPeople, do ya feel me? My favorite #artrap guy and good friend @artrapmike and I at @northsidetav last night. Six and a half years after I responded to his tweet about lady vocals for a #JoyDivision remake, and three years after booking him here for the first time, we're still doin' what it do. So happy for you, Mike for everything you've accomplished! Look for that email in the next month or two. 😉🎤😎 Much love to #NorthsideMusicFestival, @wehavebecomevikings, Scot Torres, and Mike Gibboney for bringing him here. #cincinnati #northside #indiehiphop #althiphop #hiphop #darkcomedy #hellapersonalfilmfestival #rapperswilldieofnaturalcauses (at Northside Tavern)

My Sun @yazi13 17 years ago, at age 7, kicking a poem to @saulwilliams at @cincyplay, and now, last night, when he ran into him at @kazeotr and was able to tell him what an impact he's had on his life all those years between. Raising children on good #music and #poetry does wonders for their #confidence, #imagination and #worldview. We'll be seeing him tonight at @woodwardtheater with #mivosquartet, and in August in #Brooklyn at @afropunk. #afropunk #amethystrockstar #slam #words #coolkidsclub #musicianmoms #hiphop #crossgenre
