RESPECT THE MIC! H2 at "Lyrical Exercise" - Open Mic | October 9th

Do you remember the Hard Knock Life Tour DVD, Backstage from 2001? Do you remember the brother who free styled with the biggest MCs at the end with Jay-Z and DMX watching? No one knew his name. For those of us that remember the guy in the suit, his freestyle was a stunning class act. His name is H2. You might know him as Brother Hashim; and he epitomizes the unsung hero’s of Hip Hop. Check out the video:

Saturday, October 9th at Steppin Up Beauty & Barber, Memphizm welcomes "H2" - Hashim Hakim, to Lyrical Exercise!

For the last 10 years, H2 has been taking the spoken word scene to another level!  H2 blends his demonstrated knowledge of street culture, education, and underground hip hop and packages it effortlessly as he delivers a dominating yet charismatic flair from the stage to the minds of the audience; there is never a dull moment.

Every so often, some charismatic wordsmith dominates the scene and stands out from the competition; H2 not only runs over the competitors, but dominates in battles, performances and street sales. H2 is a self contained artist with the ability to produce, arrange and write his own material which makes him the total package to the record label that he owns; Eracism Records. He is an exhilarating recording artist, producer and songwriter and continues to rise from the hip hop underground. Hashim’s next project includes KAM, Gat Turner, Young Khan the Don, DA Smart and others. H2 is the winner of the www.jlsc.com song writing contest for R&B for 2009.

When it comes to Spoken Word and Hip Hop, H2 (Hashim Hakim) is the unexpected spectacle of events.  With romance drama and humor as his ingredients, H2 magically prepares the table for all who come to feast on a good show.

Audiences adore him. 

Poets respect him.  

Raised from the hells of Chicago, hails the prefix of life; H2 OOH!!!!!!!
