Rhys Langston - MC, author, producer, and visual artist - may just be too smart for his own good. We attempt to humanize and provide some context for understanding his high-minded, poetically abstract, expansive takes on rap music. Tracking his multicultural roots in Los Angeles and trials as a teenage misfit, following his creative development and industry ups-and-downs, we finally find Rhys embracing his individualism and looking towards further experimentation on his own terms. http://langstonia.org
