Ithaca Festival Lineup

The Ithaca Festival is fast approaching so take a look at the McNeil Stage lineup and make sure you don’t miss my set [Saturday June 1st at 6:30]. I’m super excited to be squeezed between so many cool acts, so I highly recommend that you can come early and stay late. See you there!

Urban Blaze x Sammus | Growin’ Up [Live]

Check out some video footage of my April 21st performance at “Breakin: A Hip Hop Fashion Show.” I was joined onstage by two of the lovely ladies from Cornell’s own dance troupe Urban Blaze for my last song [other song-performances not posted]. If you watch the video long enough you get to see me do a little bit of choreo, and you’ll even get a sneak-peak at the name of my second album, out this summer!

Sammus x Epic Fest 2013

This summer will be full of festivals! As I’ve already mentioned, on June 1st I’ll be participating in the Ithaca Festival and now ya girl will be performing in Epic Fest 2013! The festival is a huge music festival with over 40 acts that will take place in Richmond, VA from June 26th – June 29th [more details soon but you can check out info from last year here]. Can’t wait to head down South and hang out in Chance Fischer’s stomping grounds. See you there :-).EpicFestLogo

Congolese Rap | Alec Lomami x Sammus

I’ve been a little MIA while getting my ass handed to me by grad school, but I can finally see the light at the end of the semester! I received a little motivation today in the form of Congolese rapper and close friend Alec Lomami releasing his long-awaited EP Mélancolie Joyeuse. Yours truly is featured on the first track [CLV], but you should definitely check out the entire EP. Plus the cover art is stellar. Download and listen here on Bandcamp!
