Mike Ladd Domestica: The Final Theater in the Infesticons Saga





So on March 9th my friend Thomas and I went to see Mike Ladd's theatre/music production of Infesticon vs Majesticon creating a domesticon show. It was pretty decent. Here's a write up i read on upcoming.org

"Rapper, musician, and hip-hop conceptualist, Mike Ladd pushes the boundaries of experimental hip-hop with his political and sonic explorations, which he describes as “post-futurist soul music”. Accompanied by a crew of MCs and musicians, Ladd performs songs from his acclaimed Since Infesticons/Majesticons trilogy of albums. This series is based on Ladd’s invented sci-fi narrative that chronicles a fictitious rap battle over hip-hop’s future fought between two rival factions, represented alternatively as the assimilated “commercial mainstream” and the rebellious “underground contingent”. The evening also includes the New York-debut of new tracks from the final trilogy installment, Domesticons."
