Load B – Sunlight

Load B drops off their new visual for ‘Sunlight’.

Mic Crenshaw and Kool Chief Rocker are LOAD B (Last Of A Dying Breed), presenting the music video for ‘Sunlight‘, the new single from their forthcoming album Brink Of Distinction. The video was shot between Arusha, Tanzania and Portland, where both emcees currently reside. The track is produced by Cincinnati beatsmith Theory Hazit – who also produced their previous single ‘Paradox’ – and will sit on BOD alongside production from DJ Klavicle, DJ Wicked, Prince Elwood Strickland and Trox.

Award-winning poet and spoken word artist Kool Chief Rocker was one of three people stabbed in a 2017 hate crime on Portland public transit in which two men died when Rocker came to the defense of two women of color, one of whom was wearing a hijab. Micah was stabbed in the neck but survived. Chicago-born poet and emcee Mic moved to Portland after founding Anti-Racist Action, making him a lead figure in street wars between neo-Nazi skinheads and anti-racist youth in the Midwest in the 80’s and 90’s.

Leading bands like Hungry Mob and Suckapunch before establishing his solo career, Crenshaw was 2001’s Portland Poetry Slam Grand Slam Champion, a National Poetry Slam finalist, and was voted Portland’s Best Hip Hop Artist by Willamette Week in 2016.
