BIOGRAPHY RABBI DARKSIDE is a Buffalo-born Brooklyn-based Hip Hop Artist/Educator and NYC freestyle legend, known for rocking mics and crowds around the globe with a vigor and poetic tact rare in this age of water-downed pop rap. He has won a substantial number of prestigious battles and MC challenges in the new millennium (12-time "Sin Sin Off the Head Challenge" winner, 2-time "A to Z Emcee" winner, "Whose Rhyme is it Anyway" champ, 2004 NYC Kool Mixx Finalist), all while touring the U.S. and Europe with NYC trio 3rd Party. From the subways to school halls to stages, Rabbi D has sought and spread positive Hip Hop, and laid the foundation for “Building the Better Bomb,” his solo debut LP, released in the U.S. in July 2008 and Europe in September 2008. The new album is right on the heels of his national TV feature on MTV’s “MADE,” starring as the Hip Hop Head Coach, and on the wings of a European Summer Tour and Album Release Party in Prague, CZ. Rabbi D is also a highly regarded DJ and beatboxer, holding down weekly residencies on the turntables in Manhattan and Brooklyn while performing as part of Beatboxer Entertainment. He is the lone American MC featured on the first human beatbox album from Czech Republic, “Beat Apetit,” which has produced a large following in Central Europe and a music video in heavy rotation in the Czech. On his global journey filled with teaching, DJing and crowd rocking, he has appeared alongside Talib Kweli, Slick Rick, The Last Poets, Wordsworth
