Sorry, we got this message too late for the opening, but it’s still important work…
N*ggaSh*t , the show, is a commentary on the current state of where we are as a people within, and built out of the age old traditions of slavery, genocide, illiteracy, and the evolution of our resiliency to survive. The works seek to investigate some of the icons that have played a role in the “dumbing down” of our American culture and stomp out their historic relevancy with a modern day twist.
Bicasso (Josh Whitaker) and Z-man (Zamon ) have come together to diagnose these sicknesses, habits and distractions that all fall under N*iggaShi*t, as they see them thru their creative eye, and hold a mirror up to up and say “Wake up! We ARE the future.
Show is up now at the Lower Haters Gallery at 597 Haight St, SF CA 94117

The Video:
West Coast/Midwest trio Chosen Few (comprised of MC’s Cold Showda, Charles “Chop” Cooper, and producer Unjust) are preparing to drop their highly anticipated Hiero Imperium Records debut, New World Symphony, on April 6th. The first official single, “Elevation,” hits the streets today, and the crew have been hard at work finishing their chilled-out, yet heavy-hitting new video to go along with it. Shot up close and personal with the emcees spitting to the camera, the video takes place in a small and shadowy room – representing feelings of isolation, confusion, and loneliness that so many can relate to feeling at some point or another. But on the flipside, despite the track’s dark and almost bleak feel, listen closely, because the message is one of motivation rather than misery.
“Elevation” features a guest appearance from lyrical maestro Opio of the Bay Area’s Souls Of Mischief, who true to form, delivers a tight package of carefully crafted lyrics that get straight into your head. “The idea of always elevating, getting better, wiser and stronger is something I always try to do in all aspects of life, music, art, business, spirituality” says Opio. The song is about taking a stance, being aware of your surroundings, and elevating past limitations.
