"Descendent is a champion of Black culture, at home and abroad.
Through songwriting and filmmaking, the Bronx-based MC seeks to
illuminate and celebrate the cultural strength of the Pan-African
diaspora, specifically of African American art. Starting from his
hometown of Newport News, Virginia, he dives into the roots of
African American storytelling: music and oral history. They
become his vehicle to not only remember the history of his
ancestors but also connect with the communities around him.
 


He believes that through history, African Americans can liberate
themselves creatively and financially. And furthermore, that it
can relate to African people worldwide. He follows in the
footsteps of his Hip-Hop forefathers. Both musicians such as Mos
Def and Tupac, but also directors like John Singleton and Spike
Lee. He invites you to join him on this journey.  


Descendent has toured numerous times across the United States and
his work has brought him to the likes of Sway in the Morning’s
“A&R Room”, A3C Festival, Empire State Music Festival, and
Chuck D’s two radio shows "And You Don't Stop" and "Songs That
Mean Something”. He regularly performs at mainstay NYC venues
such as SOBs, The Shrine, Electric Bowery, The Well , Rockwood
Music Hall, The Delancey, Rubulad, and Starr Bar."
