The L.E.S.'s very own ACCENT is finally coming to Drom! This freestyle MC, songwriter and poet—who emphasizes lyricism in every carefully-constructed song—projects a bittersweet reflection on life expressed with undeniable soul. The scholarship award-winning son of a Worker's World Party member is clearly an advanced linguist, and his background in political activism is evident in his presence as an inspirational and uplifting force in music. Perfecting his craft through performing in the streets among thousands, he suffered the harshness of poverty and homelessness in a major city. Vulnerability and honesty have truly proven to be his edge as nothing short of sheer beauty in sound has surfaced from the melancholy realities of his experience.


Celebrating the release of his new EP "Sight and Sound" (a collaborative effort alongside producer Kid Vision), and reciting his own memoirs over the heavily jazz-influenced instrumentals of his tribute mixtape entitled "I Love Nujabes," ACCENT will surely hypnotize the audience with enticing melodies and highly-impressive verses. So please, set your expectations as high as his standards are for each rhyme he creates, and come enjoy the epic storytelling of local legend ACCENT.

Grammy nominated songwriters Kinetics & One Love, a hip-hop/electronic duo from NYC, are revitalizing underground hip-hop and reinventing standards for pop music. Signed as songwriters with Warner Music Group, the duo made their commercial debut in 2010 by penning the chorus to B.o.B's multiplatinum selling "Airplanes."

Ever since they met in college, rapper Kinetics has been offering a distinctive complement to One Love's instrumentals, eclectic reflections of Love's background as a club DJ and drummer in an indie rock band. It doesn't hurt that the two graduated from an Ivy League university: One Love's extensive training in music theory and classical composition is evident in the production, while Kinetics's lyrics breathe socially conscious and provocative themes. K&1L are currently in the midst of a nationwide tour while simultaneously songwriting for several major label artists and working on their upcoming album entitled "You Are Not Alone."
