Rabbi Darkside “You And I And The Moon” ft. DJ Rob Swift (X-Ecutioners)
On the heels of headlining NYC’s Blue Note Jazz Club last week and kicking off his 2014 European Tour next week, Brooklyn’s Rabbi Darkside offers the latest visual, “You And I And The Moon,†featuring legendary turntablist DJ Rob Swift of the X-Ecutioners from his chart topping solo LP (reaching #4 on CMJ Hip Hop Charts and #1 on College Radio Charts) Prospect Avenue; proving that Rabbi’s global fan-base continues to grow while he obscures the lines between Hip Hop, Jazz, Folk & Poetry.
Rabbi Darkside comments on his latest project “I worked on Prospect Avenue for two-years, these are my stories of teaching, learning and evolving in new millennium Brooklyn: an homage to New York City offered in a time of distress, a love letter laced with co-dependence, a tribute to social and civil servants, a prayer for students and teachers. It is written from the hallways of our public schools, from the stages of shuttered venues, from the expanses of bridges traversed on bicycle, from the bandstand and the cypher. From the front stoop of the house on 18th Street, where I’ve resided for thirteen-years, I’ve documented the city changing while growing within its confines; journeying to touch distant points on the globe, always returning, culminating with a ride on the R train to Prospect Avenue.
