Kensho Kuma and DJ Delrokz will be playing at APAture 2013 Music Night. It’s an event organized by Kearny Street Workshop, a community based organization dedicated to developing and showcasing Asian American artists. It’s going down 10/25 at Sub-Mission (2183 Mission St. SF.) DJ Delrokz is the SF Chapter president of the Zulu Nation and a very trustworthy sound technician.. So I ain’t worried about a damn thing. The brethren Orukusaki will join me on stage as well.

09/16 Rocking at the Aviation Museum
Kensho Kuma & Cloud NI9E will be rocking at the “Backup Plan” event at the Aviation Museum in Saitama, Japan, on 09/16/2013. 9月16日、埼玉の航空公園でライブします。 アジアツアー最後のライブなので遊びに来てね。 This will be my last show for my Asia tour for now. N.B.S. (Natural Born Spitters) will also be performing; I heard these cats on the German super producer team Snowgoon`s Kraftwork album and was impressed. I look forward to rocking with them. I am not associated with the image below, but it is from an event the promoter organizing this event.
Kensho Kuma & Cloud NI9E in Shimane, Japan
I wish that I could have written this blog much much earlier, instead of 4 hours before starting a 15 hour journey to Shimane, Japan. Yours truly and Cloud NI9E will be holding down a 90 minute set with some unexpectedly new material @ DJ Bar Mix. ?????????????????. BTW, this is my DJ`s hometown, so I`ll be in Supersayan ultra grizzly more… as usual…
Kensho Kuma & Cloud NI9E in Vietnam
Kensho Kuma & Cloud NI9E will be making their debut Vietnam appearance on 08/29/2013 @ Cama ATK in Hanoi and 08/30/2013 @ Lush in Ho Chi Minh City. A third show on the 31st will be potentially added,so please stay tuned… I’ve been saying this for years, but if you really develop a creative craft (doesn’t necessarily have to be MCing, but some expressive form of art that takes time and effort) it becomes a passport and you can rock anywhere in the world. I was being so sincere when I told you in Oakland that I rep the East Bay around the globe. Vietnam, I cannot wait to meet you!
Kensho Kuma in Osaka
I will be performing in Osaka, Japan, on 08/03/2013 @ Full Bloom. Veteran MC`s Gebo and OKI from Ward Swingaz will be in the house; also this event will feature a special set by B.I.G Joe, who has been one of the most respected names in Japanese Hip Hop for the last several years.
07/05/13 Thizzler Wildstyle Session
Thizzler on the Roof is a reliable Bay Area Rap portal that closely covers local acts… They have begun a monthly cypher session at the First Friday Oakland Art Mur Mur celebrations; DJ Twelz and Z-Man were hosting the session when I got there and I just did what I do. Props to Deuce Eclipse from the Zion-I crew and Do-Dat from the Attik for holding it down as well. The next one is 08/02/13; I’ll be out in Asia, so go rep for me.
07/06/13 Royal Reunion w/ La Gente @ the Inner Space/ Cell Space

June 8th Gilman Conscious Hip Hop Night
Yours truly is building up his momentum to hit Asia this summer @ Godzilla Grizzly Supersaiyan 100 mode… Well, all that means is that I’ll rock my ass off like I usually do… On June 8th, I’ll be rocking the Gilman Conscious Hip Hop Night at the historic 924 Gilman in Berkeley.
The organizers of this growing monthly are Skeptic and N.I.C that were featured in this cypher with me; this night also features the debut set of a young MC named Swai-Gu! who I consider to be doper and more dedicated than most youngins out today.
