THY KINGDOM COME with Cayenne "THE LION KING"
By Eric D. Graham
With over 30 MC’s scheduled to perform, Cayenne The Lion King, who has perfectly blended and fused the African rhythms of Reggae and the “boom bap” lyricism of Hip-Hop, is preparing to throw one of the “Biggest Birthday Bashes” in the history of the Bull City, which will be hosted by SHOWDOWN of 102 Jamz on Friday, November 3, at the Vault in Durham, NC.
...
With over 29 years in the music industry, The Lion King, who said he has been influenced by older R&B singers such as Sam Cooke, James Brown, Isaac Hayes as well as Hip-Hop Artists like KRS-One, Busta Rhymes along with Reggae legends Bounty Killer and Capleton, feels that musicians should use their voices to inform the masses of the people, especially during these troubling times.
“We, as musicians, are giving a voice from God, the Ancestors and the Elders to speak on issues addressing our communities” said the consciousness underground MC, who is known for his high energy stage performances.
“A lot of people, who have voices to educate, unfortunately, don’t do so. (However) we , as artists, can inspire, uplift, guide and build up our listeners.”
So, while chanting “Down Goes Babylon”, Cayenne, is still extremely excited about celebrating, life, love and longevity with all of his family, friends and true fans on Nov.3 , which will include performances by Tuscon, Mally Evans, Nox, Mic Savvy, Deliverance, and QuT BossChic to name just a few.
When asked, “What does the name Cheyenne “The Lion King” mean?
The humble Hip-Hopper and brilliant businessman offered this simple yet complex answer.
“Cayenne is a hot spice that enhances anything it touches” he explained.
“Therefore, I feel the core of my essence is the same. (Lion)Because of my heart and passion, I have for everything in life. And King, (well) Because, of my royal way of speaking, style and levity.”
With that said, while showcasing the "Blackness" of a Garveyite, the self-pro-claimed “Prince of the Sun and the King of the Shine,” from his Warrior album is giving us all “Warning Shots” as he prepares for his up-and-coming (2018) Tours and his BIG AZZ BIRTHDAY BASH on Friday.
