 16th: MC Azeem (The Invisible Man)\n\nhttp://www.mcazeem.com\n\nAzeem 
 started his first band Telefunken in 1991, which was a combination of live 
 instrumentation and hiphop. Years of hard work culminated in their first 
 release (1994) on the then newly-formed OM Records.\n\nIronically, 
 Azeem’s first break as a solo artist came at an open mic reading where he 
 would test his lyrics under the alias the Invisible Man. On this particular 
 night, Azeem entered a competition against fifty of the best poets and took 
 first place. This led to touring with Lollapalooza, sharing stages with 
 George Clinton, A Tribe Called Quest, and The Beastie Boys—to name a 
 few.\nFollowing this was a chain of events which landed Azeem a PBS special 
 with Washington Square Films, two published books, and a ranking spot as 
 second best performance poet in the nation.\n\nIn 1997, Azeem was hired by 
 Bay Area artist, Michael Franti to assist him in composing songs for the 
 second Spearhead album. This lead to two years of world travel where he was 
 a writer and performer with the band. After his third tour, Azeem resigned 
 to further his career.\n\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\n\n$5 minimum for
