Nitty Scott MC

Soundcheck's Mic Check

Soundcheck | Jun 28, 2011

Join Soundcheck as we welcome four fresh voices of New York hip hop in The Greene Space.

First, two rising stars out of Brooklyn: rap-and-animation-fusing project The Freeze Tag and storytelling savant Nitty Scott MC. Then, Queens native (and former law student) Homeboy Sandman drops blazing, witty rhymes that give fair warning to Russian literature scholars (“Reading Dostoyevsky don’t mean I read Tolstoy!”). And, Ghanaian-American rapper and drummer Blitz the Ambassador lets his captivating story unfold, set to the Afro-funk beat of his seven-piece band.
