There is no better way to peer inside the art than by talking to the artists and who better than the Godfather of Beatbox, Rahzel. The American Beatbox Championships in partnership with Okayplayer and Flavorpillsat down with the 7x Grammy Nominee and 2x winner who is most widely recognized as one of the legendary members of the Roots. Rahzel’s legend truly comes with popularizing beatboxing internationally on a massive scale. His classic “If Your Mother Only Knew” spawned and inspired a generation of beatboxers.  Today the art-form is global and it’s artists ever growing.

The line up continues to get blessed… looks like Toronto is showing NYC some love as Jessica Kaya, Silk Kaya (Eternia), alongside Philadelphia’s soulful crooner Range Da Messenga.  Joining the judges table and blessing the mic is Canada’s 2x Beatbox Champion one of the leaders of new skool beatbox KRNFX. If that were not enough Akim Funk Buddha is also bringing his Hip Hop moves to the mix. This is truly going to be a night of Champions!!!!
