A teacher, an activist, a poet, and a performer, Son of Nun (S.o.N.) doesn't just intend to entertain a crowd, but rather speak with his crowd. With inspiration from Jah and struggle, S.o.N. flows over hip-hop, jungle, or any beat that moves you. His resume includes innumerable performances and a few musical projects as well. S.o.N.s performed at DCs one and only Buzz several times with djs Deinfamous, Adam F, JennR8, and others. S.o.N.s also opened and closed for Roni Size & Reprazent at the 9:30 club in DC. Hes emceed on an album, Whats Left, with jungle producer King Rhythm, which has just been picked up by the Belgian label Quatermass. Focusing on hip hop now, S.o.N has opened for Mr. Lif, Akrobatic, Buck 65, and others at b-mores own Ottobar. Keep your eye on this man; he'll be makin' some waves in the music world!Band/artist history
i started rhyming in 97. i used to just write poetry but a friend of mine who was in a band was like 'you should write a rhyme and jam with us sometime.' so i said what the hell, and haven't put the mic down since.
i emceed with king rhythm on the album "What's Left." it just got picked up by the belgian label Quatermass. Check it out- it's dnb/hip hop it even has a video with a surprise ending.Have you performed in front of an audience?i do play live and i've had the opportunity to play at some pretty tight spots like the 9:30 Club in DC, Nation in DC, the University of Maryland in College Park, Fletchers, The Spot, The Vault, 1614 Lounge, Turners, The Ottobar, and plenty of underground spots in Baltimore. i've also done shows in New York and Chicago.
i love doing shows, i vibe off the crowd, the more into it they are the more i give!
special moments?
everytime people move to the set and everytime someone tells me that they dig the lyrics and are interested in getting more politically active.
