Just back from touring in India and Europe with Swiss jazz trio Grandpianoramax, Black Crackers resume is as crazy as his spacey, electro-flavored beats. Not your average hip-hop producer, Black Cracker is a one-time army brat, art-school dropout, and published poet. He cut his teeth with sisterly avant-pop duo CocoRosie, for whom he produced tracks, DJed, and even provided a little beatboxing and song writing. Self-taught and operating out of a grimy basement studio, he was the mastermind behind the beats and hooks of game changing "art rapper" Bunny Rabbit (voodoo-eros). He has been featured in VIBE, The New Yorker, Dazed and Confuzed, and even Playboy magazine for his sexy beats. "Imagine Joanna Newsom rolling around in a dumpster with a MPC instead of a harp" is how XLR8R describes Black's sound. As a poet he has been featured in numerous documentaries most recently Spitting Ink which just premiered in the IDFA with a nomination for "Best First Appearance". Black Cracker has been published in Spokenword Revolution, Bullets and Butterflies, and his own manuscript will be published this spring by the Bowery Poetry Club Press. His groundbreaking solo record is Basquiat meets Tupac. Provocatively pop and poetic. Black Crackers live is a show not to be missed.
