Unless you’ve been living under a rock, then you’ve heard the big news that Janelle Monáe is coming to the Starlight in Kansas City this Fall for the Open Spaces festival (view the full impressive lineup below). One of the opening acts is none other than Kadesh Flow and the Marcus Lewis band. It’s easy to grow fond of Kadesh Flow because he is an absolute force onstage, effortlessly interchanging his jazz trombone solos with his rapping. But he’s also adored for making sure there’s a place in “nerd spaces” for people of color, as he pointed out in an interview with us earlier this year.
You can watch the video below, and be sure to catch them this October at the Starlight.
