Flamboyant New York rapper impresses with album C-ORE!
Michael David Quattlebaum Jr. identifies more with the feminist punk movement Riot Grrrl, but as Mykki Blanco – and together with the likes of Azealia Banks, Angel Haze, Le1F and Zebra Katz – he was propelled to figurehead of the LGBT - (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) hiphop scene that has been flourishing for several years now.
His latest project/compilation ‘C-ORE’ , the first release on Blanco’s brand new underground label Dogfood Music Group, harbours collaborations with labelmates Yves Tumor, PsychoEgyptian and Violence and is bursting with slightly crazy hip-hop intertwined with dark electronica, hard industrial beats, punk, grime and noise.
C-ORE as perfect reflection of how a rapper/poet/activist and performance artist like Blanco deals with life as a multigender in the margins of the American music landscape, and of his vision on hip-hop and music tout court. People all over the world are only fed this singular image of 'African American Music’, and we want to disrupt that. We all come from backgrounds outside of the black American norm, and the world deserves to see our culture as much as anything else.

AB & Beursschouwburg
Om het goede muzikale nabuurschap in de verf te zetten, slaan de Vlaamse Cultuurhuizen AB en Beursschouwburg de handen structureel in elkaar. In het verleden werkten beide huizen reeds occasioneel samen, denk maar aan de coproductie rond het concert van Æthenor (de band rond Sunn O)))’s Stephen O’ Malley) of de samenwerking op Brussel Feest waarbij Tommigun de soundtrack verzorgde bij Marc Didden’s filmklassieker ‘Brussels By Night’.
Deze occasionele samenwerkingen worden sinds september ‘13 dus structureel ingebed. Zo organiseren beide huizen op regelmatige basis een concert samen (met Shangaan Electro 12/10/13 & Cut Copy 29/11/13 ging de kop eraf) in de Beursschouwburg dat door beiden zal gepromoot worden en waarbij spannende en avontuurlijke muziek centraal staat. Dit alles met slechts één doel voor ogen: het Brusselse culturele en muzikale landschap er nóg rijker op maken.
