Green Owl and Babelgum CMJ Showcase - Theophilus London

GREEN OWL SHOWCASE: THEOPHILUS LONDON Theophilus London is from Brooklyn, but his new-wave rap poems have quickly become the hottest shit in both New York and the UK.   A wordsmith that's James-Dean cool, young London is the voice of a post hiphop generation.  His rhymes cut through traditional rap braggadocio to explore new horizons and emotional landscapes.  Below him, the beats are idiosyncratic and filled with synthesizers and talking drums.   London's debut mixtape, This Charming Mixtape, came out 2009 to rave reviews.  Expect a full-length in 2010. <a href="http://www.babelgum.com/cmj">babelgum.com/cmj</a>
