Fresh back from smashing the international road on the Prospect Avenue European Tour, Rabbi Darkside returned home to take the title in the Freestyle Mondays “Off The Head Gameshow” battle this week, besting 16 of NYCs finest freestyle MCs, presented as part of the Brooklyn BEAT Festival, which also featured Storyboard P (“Picasso Baby” video) and Lemon Anderson (HBO Def Poetry). In addition to rocking packed venues across Europe, the Rabbi also got busy on some new international collabos. Here’s a video gem from Lyon, France: a collaboration with Nemesis Music label as part of their “Welcome to the Kitchen” series. The concept: in a single session the MCs write, record, memorize verses and shoot a music video. All of that was accomplished in 120 minutes for this 5 MC, bi-lingual, uptempo, experimental Hip Hop swing banger. Features Snakes Crew, Raistlin MC, Alyé and Rabbi Darkside. Stay tuned for Darkside rocking CMJ Festival in October, whose charts “Prospect Avenue” has been blazing for 12 weeks.
