The Hired Gun
31 plays (12 listeners)
Many people have often asked him about the moniker he uses, “Hired Gun”. Isn’t it violent? Isn’t that a hypocritical name for an arts educator and artist who often speaks
against negative influences and environments? The name Hired Gun reflects the nature of
his existence as he is an individual who supplies many different services and whose varied skill set as a writer, performer, artist, educator and dancer have been called upon
to participate in social discussions, rock the party, rock the rave or whatever is needed.
Since 2000 Hired Gun has done freelance writing for various publications including URB Online and Lotus Magazine on the West Coast. He has been a part of a modern dance performance troupe, Mellifluous. A party promoter and event organizer for the now inactive Humanity Inc, Get Along Gang, and Upstate Rave Core, as well as currently with Say Word Entertainment and his own Fresh Roots music collective. In addition he is a teaching artist for Working Playground and Urban Art Beat. Through all of these collaborations and communities he has been a part of, his movements, and expressions are uniquely his own, and his talents recognized; have been utilized. What is a “Hired Gun” but a person who is called upon having a unique set of skills to accomplish a particular mission that needs the right expertise? Nothing could fit better.

A bit boring to be honest. Switch up the flow man and try to say the words a bit crisper. Beat selection is so dull as well. Could be great, but the flow's just plain stagnate at the moment. A lot of potetial though so don't get me wrong.
