King Khazm welcomes 2025 Taproot Fellows in Washington DC

On a high from yesterday’s opening reception for the national convening of Taproot Fellows, a program by Alliance for California Traditional Arts that honors, spotlights and amplifies master artists and culture bearers of many communities around the country. I had the great honor of commencing a welcoming speech. Incredibly moved to be in community with these amazing leaders in the next few days!!

54th Annual Folklife Festival

Ayy! It’s been really cool seeing the art Toka and I made printed in so many different variations and arrangements. So honored to have contributed to this year’s 54th annual festival which explores the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai, a concept that interestingly runs full circle in a number of ways with my relationship with Folklife. (More on that in the official program guide) It’s been quite an incredible journey, and I am extremely grateful!!

Seattle friends- check the full schedule for 4 days of amazing music, art and traditions this weekend. And make a point to pull up to Zulu Jam at Folklife Festival, presented by 206 Zulu with a crazy lineup that will be happening this Saturday, starting at 8:30pm at the Seattle Center Armory Stage!!

Xzibit “Kingmaker”

Congratulations to Xzibit for his new project Kingmaker that just dropped this weekend! Same husky flow, heavy mental liks, and stellar production you’ve come to know, but elevated and matured to perfection. A ton of amazing features including Busta Rhymes, Dr Dre, Royce 5’9″, Ice Cube, Redman, B-Real of Cypress Hill and others. Salute X to the Z! And shout out to Mia and the team at Peppermint for the hospitality!
