Juan Deuce added to Sage Francis RI show Nov 5

I just added Juan Deuce to my RI show on Nov 5th at The Met as part of my upcoming East Coast Homecoming Tour. The official line up is the RI date is now: Sage Francis, Metermaids, Prolyphic & Juan Deuce.

Juan Deuce is probably my favorite emcee to come out of RI in the past 5 years. He’s been kicking around for longer than that, but it isn’t until recently that he’s become a major blip on my radar. He’s on some raw, fun, east coast shit. Lots of charisma. Here are two examples of what he’s been up to recently:

As you’ll notice, both of those tracks are produced by Falside, who has proven to be the most talented and active producer in these parts. Both videos are directed by Ricky Shabazz, who has also proven to be one of the most talented and hustling-est cats in his own field. The teaming of these 3 people is really exciting to me and I hope the rest of hiphop takes notice soon. Juan Deuce & Falside will be releasing a free EP on November 22 called “The Mechanics EP” which is to be followed by their first official album together. Very much looking forward to that and I’ll be sure to keep you updated.

Eyedea Dedication Ceremony

I fly to Minnesota tomorrow morning. The Eyedea Dedication Ceremony takes place on Sunday (Oct 16) at Cherokee Park, St. Paul. I will be performing with many other artists and friends. If you can’t make it but you’d like to show your support, please consider donating money here: http://tinyurl.com/EyedeaDedicationCeremony
Otherwise, I will see you there to celebrate the life and memory of Micheal “Eyedea” Larsen.

I can’t even believe it’s been a full year since we lost Mikey. He was a beautiful human, a wonderful talent and his art is still connecting with people every day. If you haven’t already, check out  the piece I wrote about him:
“The Man Behind the Eyedea.”

A Fair Warning to All Rappers on Tour!

These two little guys have been sneaking into your shows for the price of one. I know that we’re forced to hit the road in order to make ends meet these days, so PLEASE BE ON THE LOOK OUT.

A painting travels a whole continent undamaged. A United MIRACLE!

I just wrapped up 3 shows in the northwest. I was joined by the METERMAIDS and Sadistik in Seattle & Portland. We also had guest appearances by Oldominion homies, SLEEP and Onry Ozzborn. My last show was in Victoria, BC which is where I acquired the 36″x48″ canvas painting displayed below. 

A mysterious gentleman handed me this magnificent work of art (based on a photo taken of me in 2003) as soon as I stepped off stage at approximately 2 a.m. I had to be at the airport by 4 a.m. so there was no time to ship it home or get it properly packaged. I reluctantly checked it in as “oversized luggage” with United Airlines despite their reputation for mishandling luggage. 17 hours, 3 flights & 2 countries later, this painting was the FIRST item to pop out on the conveyer belt…COMPLETELY IN TACT. Props, United. Props, props, props. As for this painting, I never got the artist’s name. If anyone knows who he is then please tell him how appreciative I am of what he entitled “The Hierophant.” Not only is he a great visual artist but he apparently has a hell of a vocabulary. And, yes, this beast looks fantastic in my living room.

I have 3 EAST COAST SHOWS this November:

Nov 3 at Middle East in BOSTON, MA! 

Nov 4 at Irving Plaza in NEW YORK CITY! 

Nov 5 at The Met in RHODE ISLAND!

UPDATE: Thanks to people reading this blog I was able to track down the name of the painter. His name is Brian James Hughes Coutts. A very talented & generous man right there.
