From Janitor to Rapper

Here a story that caught our eye about a janitor turned rapper: Kei-Shon-Son has spent over a decade working lengthy hours while employed as a janitor at Long Beach City College. However, during this time he was evolving his musical skills as a producer and performer.

He is now on a classic "rag to riches" quest to go global with his talent. In his latest release, "Get Comfy," he's about to trade his custodian's broom for a microphone and chase the janitor's American dream.

Kei-Shon-Son has an ability to create catchy verses and tracks right out of thin air. He proved this in his 2010 mix-tape entitled The Janitor's Dream. His latest single is just one example of this gift. Within "Get Comfy" exists a simple, yet hooky and melodic, message about enjoying the creature comforts in life. Kei-Shon explains, "This is a track about what everyone works hard for - the chance to relax." - more on this story

"I was actually into producing hip-hop beats when we first met, and I threw Daft Punk in the same category as the bland, repetitive, four-on-the-floor stuff that I couldn't get into. But once I understood the energy behind it, I started listening to all the other French producers." - more on this story
