If we played word association with the phrase "west Oakland rapper," Beejus probably wouldn't be the emcee you'd conjure up. He is not your typical Livewire stereotype. No coke, goons or pistols to speak of, unless of course he's shooting something up on his XBox. As a thinker, father and lover of life, he knows the corner is not his promised land and owns that realization in a way few rappers have the balls to. Needless to say it's a welcome change of pace.
In The Mind of Beejus is part freak fest, part ode to music and 100% real. Stand out tracks include "Invented It," "A Message Pt. 2," and "Don't Dream Music" featuring Vell4Short (below).
If you want to help Beejus celebrate his release, come out to Society Wednesday at Paradiso tonight and/or Fresh Steps at Luka's this Sunday.
