Is Everybody Stupid(?) is Ise Lyfe's latest one-man show. From commercial Hip Hop defining white youth's notions of the African American experience to the commodification of poverty to Obama's ascendancy to the White House, Lyfe's powerful session will engage and transform participants with his critical and creative analysis.
His artistic work includes a 2006 debut album spreadtheWord, his latest CD Prince Cometh, the play Who's Krazy?, and his forthcoming book, Pistols and Prayers.
From local and national poetry slams to Russell Simmons' Def Poetry Jam on HBO, his performances also include over 60 universities all over the country and in the United Kingdom and Ghana, West Africa.
In addition to performing, he works with local organizations addressing the educational, social and political needs of young people in San Francisco and Oakland.
