Why The Bay Needs to Support Kev Choice

Greetings Bayliens, today I have a few questions for you. 1. Have you ever seen a classically trained pianist rapping? 2. When was the last time you went to a hip-hop show and saw a full-fledged 10 piece ensemble fusing Jazz, R&B and Hip-Hop? 3. How often do you listen to local hip-hop and hear real talk about shit you can relate too? If you found yourself shaking your head in response to any of these questions, then you need to listen to Kev Choice.

Kev Choice was the band leader for Lauryn Hill during her attempted comeback a couple of years ago and is an integral part of Too $hort's new super-group Town Bizness. Choice is a Skyline High School grad with a masters degree in music and a wide range of artistic abilities. The dude can rap, lead a band, throw down with jazz musicians and play some mean Tchaikovsky. His Bailout mixtape dropped last year, but it was widely slept on. So I am encouraging yall to check it out now- the whole get down is raw! Here are a couple more tracks and the whole mixtape gratis. Help bring good live music back to Oakland!!
