My two senseis after performing at this year’s USC Students of Color & Allies Policy Forum at California African American Museum 4/7/18

Tron 7 Seize and Besskepp will be the two hosts of the show this Sunday. They have both been doing their thing for quite some time. Check em out! Tron 7 Seize is an experimental/hip-hop recording artist as well as an environmental and community activist. The California native was raised partly in the inner city of Compton and the suburbs of Huntington Beach California. There he was exposed to a variety of cultures, music and diverse art forms such as freestyle art, skateboarding, surfing and snowboarding. His passion for art and music lead him to produce and record his own album which is now in the works. He is also doing his part to change the world for the better by volunteering with non profit organizations such as "Heal the Bay," which conducts beach clean ups throughout Southern California and the "Tomorrows Aeronautical Museum" which offers after school tutoring and exposes inner city youth to the world of aviation. Tron 7 Seize has pledged to educate and entertain with good music! Besskepp (Cory Cofer) is a quick-witted-beatnik60's-hiphop80's poet raised on Langston Hughes and Public Enemy. Everything he has experienced has been documented through poems, journal entries and monologues. He tackles socio-political and racial issues with an animated grace. He's traveled throughout the country as a member of the Los Angeles National Slam Team (2000, 2001) and has shared the stage with such artist as Mos Def, Saul Williams, Slum Village, Mystic, Ursella Rucker, The Visionaries Poet/activist Jerry Quickley and many other artist who are successful in exerting their creative energy. Besskepp has performed in over 100 shows including universities, conferences, festivals, coffee houses and competitions in the last few years. His poetry addresses pertinent issues as equal rights, single-parent families, the importance of education, and how hip hop culture influences our society. He's a school teacher who has been twice awarded Teacher of the Year in his first five years of teaching. Besskepp was recently featured in the Los Angeles Times for using hip hop as a teaching-tool in the classroom. His weekly poetry reading, A Mic & Dim Lights in Pomona is the 2nd largest and one of the longest-running weekly readings in California. His cd Bluze Langwij takes spoken-word poetry to the next level and has been played regularly on KCRW's Chocolate City with Garth Trinidad. It has also been successfully reviewed by Rock and Rap Confidential, Digress Magazine, and Getunderground.com. Last year Besskepp released a critically aclaimed book entitled Up the Street and Around the Corner. It is an easy read which features several short stories describing good and tough times of his upbringing. You can purchase a copy of the book on Amazon.com
