In a mission to boost awareness in U.S and NY in French Urban Culture- The French Embassy has sponsored and created a cultural initiative called I Kiffe NY.

This program launched this month and goes through CMJ kicking off with several events this week all around NYC including a poetry slam and music jam with Les Nubians. This is tomorrow at Joe’s Pub. 7PM.

The big night during CMJ features French Hip Hop hosted by DJ Spank at Hiro Ballroom. Friday, October 24th. 7PM. $20.00

Artists La Caution, Wax Tailor and Mangu will perform.

I love La Caution and very excited to see them perform. It’s their U.S Debut.

Wax Tailor has a U.S deal with DeCon Records. He will do a V.J and D.J set.

Mangu is unsigned. He combines Salsa/Latin sounds with Hip Hop and Electro flavor.

La Caution will also perform at 11:30PM late night at Joe’s Pub the night before- Thursday, October 23rd.

I am still vibing off the amazing Saian Supa Crew at SOB’s 3 years ago. I was the first to bring that crew to the U.S. People still talk about it so come on down- get some French Hip Hop in your blood.
