Kev Brown will be making what i believe is his debut
KC appearance on Sunday March 11 2007
at the Downtown Peanut during HH&HW.
if you know of him then you know this dude is REALLY dope.
if you don't know his material go check it out, and please
come by and hear him perform. i believe it's going to be one
of the better nights we have had /wil have.
he will also have a small roster of guests appearing w/ him.

*bump*
just a heads up to those who either don't know or have
forgotten...
Kev Brown is THIS SUNDAY.
he will be joined by Oddisee and Trek Life as well.
it's gonna be a heater of a show.
upstairs will be open, but there will be very little going on up there.
probably just some music playing but possibly no DJ.
the focal point will be downstairs for most of the evening.

...that was pretty much the hottest thing I've ever seen.
EVERYONE was hot. Reach, Trek, Oddisee, and of course Kev. Dude was droppin gems on everyone...and at the end he made a beat live and had Oddissee, Trek Life, Reach, Taha, Neth, and Dutch spit over it.
absolutely bananas. the sweet kind when they're still a little green.

started out slow, but it got packed right before the show started. Between Indianapolis, Chicago, and us. They thought we were WAAAAYYYYYYYYY liver. That's something to be proud of. Now if only we work that magic for our own.

Tilla, every artists feels undersupported by their local folk. In the short list of why artists move away, not being supported locally is mos def on it, as is not gettin paid for performance, ie gettin NO respect from clubs, no love from fans.
on the other hand, after artists real a certain saturation point locally, if they aint puttin out new stuff and sometimes even if they do, folks just have gotten full of your SOUND.
that means it time to STOP, take a break then, lessen the FREQUENCY of local shows and concentrate more on makin moves OUTSIDE OF YOUR TOWN .
once you do that then maybe your town will be glad you're still here, cuz most folks fade or move away right about then.

Hollapalooza, Night Three
Filed under: Last Night's Show
Reach’s Hollapalooza, feat. Reach, Trek Life, Oddisee, Kev Brown. Sunday, March 11 at the Peanut.
Review by Nadia Pflaum
So you know when I wrote that thing about Reach’s Hollapalooza? And I barely mentioned the guys he’d be performing with last night at the Peanut? Because I didn’t know who the hell they were? Well … let’s just say that now I know. And I’m impressed.
And if what they were saying was true, so were they. But we’ll get to that.
The Peanut was packed, but the managers had closed the second floor, forcing the crowd to get cozy downstairs. After Reach’s quality set, a skinny black dude named Trek Life took the mic and said something along the lines of, “Wow. I’m not used to performing for folks that look like me. Not judging or anything, but, I’m used to playing for people who have to brush their hair. Not people who might have to pick their hair.†(Note: Quotes here are from memory only. A memory obscured by a cocktail or seven.) Trek was from Maryland so he was shouting out the University of Maryland Terrapins before launching into a couple songs that were heavy on the call-and-response, which annoys me sometimes. Can I please just be lazy and watch you, the performer? Did I really pay five bucks to scream unintelligible lyrics into the air?
Oddisee’s city don’t look the same.Anyway, next up was Oddisee, whose real name, according to his MySpace page, is Amir Mohamed. He introduced himself as “high Sudanese†and wore a turquoise LRG shirt and dunks. He performed a song that was titled Gentrification, a word that to many people just means “Here comes a really boring conversation.†But he prefaced it by saying, “I’m a reporter. I like to report on the things that I see in my neighborhood. The East Coast isn’t that different from the Midwest, I know some of the things happening there are happening here. I’d like to hear about some of the things happening in your neighborhoods, too.â€
The song killed me. “Mom and Pops store replaced by couture/ A Starbucks here, a Starbucks there/ how much coffee you need? My God it’s unfair/ They move away from the ‘burbs to escape the monotony/ And bring along with ‘em they pilates and pottery/ …My city don’t look the same, what a shame, it’s tragic.â€
Kev Brown came on after that, in a tee that read “Make Music,†and was wowed by the enthusiasm in the room. Sidewalk popper J-Wiz was in the front row, along with up-and-coming producers and lyricists like Neth, Dutch Newman and Godson and proven veterans like Approach. Reach knew all the words to Kev’s songs. Kev said they’d come from shows in Chicago that were empty and wack, and that Kansas City was showing them love like they hadn’t yet seen on tour.
Sounds like the East Coast scene is gonna be hearing about us.
