A while ago, Jamez Chang and I collaborated on some poetry. Jamez is already a talented hip-hop artist and poet, so I was excited to find out how our respective literary styles would compliment each other. Jamez made recordings of us reading the poems and they feature, along with the text of the poetry, in PANK.
I know it's not cool to shout your own praises, but what Jamez has done, along with a track from Beatsmith Medore, is superb! Well worth a minute of your time, if you can lend us your ears.
Thanks, Jamez, and Beatsmith, and thanks many times over to Roxane Gay, M Bartley Seigel, Colin Winnette, and Sheila Squillante at PANK.

Hop art
How can you get from fiction to art to hip-hop in one day?
Since putting out a shout to help me raise enough funds to fly to the UK to collect my Short Fiction award, I've been completely floored by the generosity of friends, but even more amazing has been how friends of theirs - people I don't personally know - have jumped in to help their friend help a friend.
For example, Ezra Letra, a friend I met through my friend Jamez Chang, has donated profits from sales of his music for 24 hours - there are a couple of hours left if you want to pick up some hip-hop.
But then Jesse Michael Warren AKA Symetrik stepped in - he's a true gent, by the way - and donated profits from sales of his music.
And now, Beatsmith Medore has also offered to donate profits from this weekend's sales of his music.
Even if hip-hop isn't your thing, check these two kind hearts out, because they are bound to be doing good things.
From fiction, to art to hip-hop; from my heart, thank you, guys.
