THE WILDCATS

So I'm in Ellensburg WA doing a workshop with the naked truth
at CWU. The Naked Truth is a social justice theatre project. We do in depth personal work with ourselves about the way we have internalized murderous lies about race, culture, gender, class etc. It's crazy transformative. I'm watching the face of these kids as they face full on and tackle things that they may have not admioted are murdering them. I love this job. I cant wait to see them explode through this process at the end of this weekend. To see what they did here last year checcthis blog.

Cloud Cover

Here's the Official cover for Cold Hearted in Cloud City

I have a love of work that is deep and abiding. especially when i can work on something i care about. Well since dropping FSTS I have been able to work on NOTHING but music and it is a blessing. So in keeping with both my gratitude for my blessing and my aforementioned work-a-holic tendencies I'm dropping something new on the Masses next month. I'm Calling it Cold Hearted In Cloud City. Sorta a reference to the white Han Solo's unfortunate mishap with a Sith lord and a carbonite freezer and more an homage to my city's dominant atmospheric condition. I will have the LivinYard and Godspeed on it reaffirming my blessings with they're much loved presence. All the Beats are being done by none other than Mr. crispenel (sure THAT'S spelled wrong) BKA Crispy of GodSpeed. Here's a quicc sneak peak of a shitty downloadable version of the intro (shitty so you buy the real one and cuz I'm not good at this yet).

Cloud City
enjoy!

2009 Seattle's Best MC

I was Honored this year by the people of Seattle with the title of Seattle's best MC in the pages of Seattle Weekly!!. This was a great moment and i think part of the hard work i put in over the last 2 years working with the homies at Devastator manegment and Fresh Chopped Beats/MADK records. Much love to everyone that voted for me i greatly appreciated it!! here's they're blurb!




Readers Reveal the City's Best
Best MC: One of Seattle's wittier wordsmiths, Khingz fits the role of the post-Rawkus-era backpacker-rapper to a T. His latest album, From Slaveships to Spaceships, is easily one of the best to come out of Seattle so far this year. Let's hope he changes his mind about leaving town. Khingz.com.
