Spaceman is an MC trapped in a Hype Man. The first time I saw him perform was at Chop Suey in Seattle. He wasn’t scheduled on the bill, but still managed to make his way on stage to freestyle; he literally stole the show. His charisma and energy held the audience hostage. The fact that Spaceman served as D. Black’s Hype Man before he went solo in 2008 may attribute to his electric performances, but I think he was born for this. Spaceman’s music is not introspective or wordy, which is a relief. This music is clever and fresh. Spacemen is able to lock in a flow naturally and would be a force to reckon with in a freestyle battle. His debut release is due out in mid 2009, so expect it soon.

Coming up on May 2nd Sportn’ Life Records (Spaceman’s label) is hosting a battle against Portland’s Focused Noise at the High Dive in Seattle. It is going to be a showcase of the Pacific Northwest’s top talent and a great opportunity to see Spaceman in his element; the battle.
