Special guest Keyote hip hop artist/ teacher

We will have a conversation with hip hop artist keyote.Keyote (born Steven Jones) is a DC native. He published his first work of poetry at the age of nine. His writing naturally evolved into vocal freestyling and by 1993, Keyote was a full-fledged b-boy battling crews up and down the East Coast. Keyote’s skills were put to the test, rhyming on and off the air with visiting artists such as Common, Missy Elliot, Nice and Smooth, Redman, and DJ Premier.Keyote’s debut EP release Said and Done showcases his vibrant storytelling, unmatched word play, and exacting flow. In this project, Keyote offers glimpses into the episodes that have contributed to his musical self and understanding.We will also talk about ways that we (parents, teachers and youth leader)can incorporate hip hop into our work/mission so come and join us as we dive into the world of hip hop with keyote.
