The P-Lo–produced track, full of high energy, is the type of song that makes one jump on stage — even if they know damn well they shouldn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the scorching August sun, Rich was a few bars into his verse when the 56-year-old rapper, bouncing alongside the crowd, turned to his left. Suddenly, his knee popped. Falling to the ground, he kept rapping without missing a beat, freestyling new lyrics to communicate what’d just happened to his leg — “blew my knee actin’ out my age” — and even diagnosing it as a torn lower patella.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGqKGhZkuug\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this could’ve easily become a huge setback.

So Richie Rich wrote ‘Do G’s Get to Go to Heaven,’” he says. “Double R wrote ‘Side Show’ and ‘Snitches and Bitches.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s always been a tug-of-war between these two sides, he says. Fortunately his dad gave him constant reassurance, and his mom gave him spiritual guidance, even if it came in the form of heavy-handed discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom was so strict,” Rich reflects, “that when I got caught stealing at Longs Drugs and they told me they was going to call my mom, I said, ‘Na, call the police. Don’t call my momma!'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once his mother found the Lord, “she brought that spirituality to us and locked us in with it,” says Rich. A sweet woman who was very hard to impress, Rich says he’d get good grades and his mother would remark, “Want to impress me? Show me that you can fly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Rich signed with Def Jam, the label sent a car to take him to the airport. Misty-eyed, he reflects on his mother’s reaction. “She knocked on my door, and said, ‘There’s a limousine out front, Richie.’” Fanning out, she asked, “Can I go outside and see?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rich recalls her floating out the door in her trademark blue robe, sitting in the stretch limo, finally understanding that her son had made something of himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13968116\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13968116\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1353\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-800x541.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-1020x690.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-768x520.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-1536x1039.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-1920x1299.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richie Rich pictured in New York City on Aug. 10, 1996, the day he signed with Def Jam Records. \u003ccite>(Al Pereira/Getty Images/Michael Ochs Archives)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]R[/dropcap]ich had a conversation with his knees when he was a kid.

When Pac was incarcerated, they exchanged letters; mail that Rich wishes he would’ve kept. With a custom Harley motorcycle parked behind him, painted with Tupac’s face on it, Rich says, “When it’s your homeboy, you not planning on him dying and being one of the most famous people in the world.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before his death, Rich saw visible changes in Tupac. “He was moving too fast,” says Rich, who urged him to lead a more private life. But that didn’t happen. Rich had to accept that “my little homie became my big homie,” as he says. So Rich did his best to look out for him in life, and continues to represent for him after his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the customized motorcycle — named Makaveli — Rich has photos, a framed plaque of albums commemorating the songs they recorded together, and a set of coat hangers in the form of middle fingers. (Tupac loved flipping people off.) Rich also has a handwritten contract ensuring songwriting royalties for his contribution to the song “Heavy in the Game,” framed and mounted on the wall in his house — signed by Tupac and his late mother, Afeni Shakur, just months before Tupac’s death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13968028\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13968028\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_7651-scaled-e1731531563979.jpg\" alt=\"A handwritten contract by Tupac Shakur, ensuring Richie Rich gets royalties for their work together; written just months before Tupac's death.\" width=\"1800\" height=\"1510\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_7651-scaled-e1731531563979.jpg 1800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_7651-scaled-e1731531563979-800x671.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_7651-scaled-e1731531563979-1020x856.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_7651-scaled-e1731531563979-160x134.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_7651-scaled-e1731531563979-768x644.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_7651-scaled-e1731531563979-1536x1289.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1800px) 100vw, 1800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A handwritten contract by Tupac Shakur, ensuring that Richie Rich received royalties for their work together, written just months before Tupac’s death. \u003ccite>(Pendarvis Harshaw/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>[dropcap]A[/dropcap]ll of the art in Rich’s house is properly positioned.

The driver thanked him, and suggested he could one day have a car like that, too, before tapping the gas pedal and leaving tire treads in the intersection.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If I live to be 90,” says Rich, fully committed to his cars, “I’ma have some gold ones and Vogues, you better know.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13968026\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13968026\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Rapper Richie Rich poses in a Raiders Bo Jackson jersey, while standing in front of his Cutlass Oldsmobile.\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1920\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/IMG_6682-1920x1440.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">In a Raiders Bo Jackson jersey, Richie Rich poses with his 1972 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Richie Rich)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Rich’s street life and hillside upbringing brought about different perspectives. He had run-ins with the law, though he often evaded them. But the culture had a grip on him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was two people,” says Rich, from behind dark sunglasses. “I was Richie Rich and I was Double R.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He elaborates: “Double R was the dude who went down the hill, Richie Rich was the dude who lived up the hill. So Richie Rich wrote ‘Do G’s Get to Go to Heaven,’” he says. “Double R wrote ‘Side Show’ and ‘Snitches and Bitches.'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s always been a tug-of-war between these two sides, he says. Fortunately his dad gave him constant reassurance, and his mom gave him spiritual guidance, even if it came in the form of heavy-handed discipline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My mom was so strict,” Rich reflects, “that when I got caught stealing at Longs Drugs and they told me they was going to call my mom, I said, ‘Na, call the police. Don’t call my momma!'”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once his mother found the Lord, “she brought that spirituality to us and locked us in with it,” says Rich. A sweet woman who was very hard to impress, Rich says he’d get good grades and his mother would remark, “Want to impress me? Show me that you can fly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Rich signed with Def Jam, the label sent a car to take him to the airport. Misty-eyed, he reflects on his mother’s reaction. “She knocked on my door, and said, ‘There’s a limousine out front, Richie.’” Fanning out, she asked, “Can I go outside and see?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rich recalls her floating out the door in her trademark blue robe, sitting in the stretch limo, finally understanding that her son had made something of himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13968116\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13968116\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1353\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-800x541.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-1020x690.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-160x108.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-768x520.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-1536x1039.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/GettyImages-1293520518-1920x1299.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richie Rich pictured in New York City on Aug. 10, 1996, the day he signed with Def Jam Records. \u003ccite>(Al Pereira/Getty Images/Michael Ochs Archives)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class=\"utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__dropcapShortcode__dropcap\">R\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>ich had a conversation with his knees when he was a kid.

He adds that it’s very clear that the chasm between classes is growing, and when the haves and have-nots are at odds it makes it hard to own nice things without becoming a target. (And being a known rapper from that place adds another layer.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He stands by many of the things he said in the post, but given time to reflect, he says it’s more about where he’s at this point in life than the Golden State. “I think it’s the invisibility that I’m chasing, not so much a disdain for California,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rich’s California love is motivated by his ties to the people, from family members to world renowned artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13968115\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13968115\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1499\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm-1020x764.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm-1536x1151.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/screenshot_2024-11-13_at_12.52.25___pm-1920x1439.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Richie Rich’s motorcycle, Makaveli, bears a portrait tribute to his late friend, Tupac Shakur. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Richie Rich )\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>He says he’s appreciative that his friend, the late Tupac Shakur, has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13929233/tupac-shakur-street-oakland-tupac-shakur-way\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a street named in his honor\u003c/a> and that there’s been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2023/09/29/1202754616/suspect-in-tupac-shakur-murder-arrested\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an arrest in connection to his murder\u003c/a>.

When Pac was incarcerated, they exchanged letters; mail that Rich wishes he would’ve kept.

So Rich did his best to look out for him in life, and continues to represent for him after his death.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to the customized motorcycle — named Makaveli — Rich has photos, a framed plaque of albums commemorating the songs they recorded together, and a set of coat hangers in the form of middle fingers.

A few weeks before the show, LaRussell had pulled some of his favorite Richie Rich tracks and asked if he could add them to the setlist. And though they didn’t rehearse beforehand, the two didn’t miss a beat, going through hit after hit, like Rich’s 2000 track “Playboy” and LaRussell’s 2021 song “GT Coupe.” They reimagined songs in never-before-heard iterations, spanning generations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following day, Rich tells me his leg is doing fine.

The small, dark-purple room looks something like a wizard’s lair out of a fantasy novel, with tall, epic columns and dark curtains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kev Choice Ensemble is rehearsing for a conference that’s bringing 2,000 activists, artists and academics from across the nation to Oakland to discuss topics like the Indigenous Land Back movement and Palestinian liberation. Choice sits at his keyboard, rapping about the painful legacy of slavery before affirming the power of everyday people to make change. As his jazz band grooves, they alchemize devastation into hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I try to bring is the purpose, the intention, of the message, and uplift the issues while giving people encouragement,” he says. “[I try] to create an environment where we can just have fun and be free and enjoy together for a moment in time, before we get back to the work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choice speaks with the ease of someone who knows who he is and owns it, but it took him decades to move comfortably between his roots in hip-hop culture, his love of jazz and his classical training. Classical music used to turn its nose up at hip-hop. But in recent years orchestras have begun looking to collaborate with rappers to appeal to younger, more diverse audiences — basically, to stay relevant in the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the world is finally catching up to the forward-thinking vision Kev Choice has had for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/RMQbdElhnEo?si=itDr1mRXyofFuwJE\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Navigating separate musical worlds\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Choice, breaking boundaries wasn’t easy — and not just musical boundaries, but those of race, class and culture. Growing up in Oakland in the ’80s and ’90s, he began writing rhymes and studying piano seriously in middle school. Even back then, he knew he’d have to compartmentalize his two worlds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I couldn’t talk to any of my teachers about hip-hop or making beats. They had no connection to that,” he says. “And then my hip-hop friends would kind of tease me about playing the piano.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13967710\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 960px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13967710\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/60325271_10155974893232027_2182473221847121920_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/60325271_10155974893232027_2182473221847121920_n.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/60325271_10155974893232027_2182473221847121920_n-800x450.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/60325271_10155974893232027_2182473221847121920_n-160x90.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/60325271_10155974893232027_2182473221847121920_n-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kev Choice at his graduation from Xavier University in 1998. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Kev Choice)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Still, Choice was undeterred: He excelled in high school orchestra and big band, and continued to rap and make beats after school. After nailing an audition at Xavier University, an HBCU in New Orleans, he got a full scholarship on the spot to study piano performance in the birthplace of jazz. Afterwards, he took off to Southern Illinois University for his master’s degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choice excelled in classical piano, but he couldn’t see himself going the traditional orchestral route.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Number one, because of the lack of diversity in that world,” he says. “It just seemed like it was such a narrow opportunity for a young African American pianist who wasn’t a prodigy at age four.” [ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>An international tour with Michael Franti\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>After grad school, Choice decided it was time to return to his roots.

Calls for auditions started coming, and he got hired to join Michael Franti and Spearhead on an international tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franti had come out of the Bay Area’s underground hip-hop scene, and he attracted a global fan base with his fusion of hip-hop, reggae and funk. The opportunity expanded Choice’s world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being a kid from Oakland and, you know, to be walking down the street in Switzerland or France or Belgium,” he reflects, “it blew my mind on what the world looked like and the connection of people to music as well. Like, how strong that was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tour pushed Choice to grow his skillset — he had to trade his sheet music and piano for playing by ear on an electric keyboard. He had his own ambitions as a solo artist. But word got out after the Spearhead tour, and he became an in-demand sideman. In the years that followed, he went on the road with alternative and conscious hip-hop artists like Zion I and Lyrics Born.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Around the world with Lauryn Hill\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 2006, Choice got the opportunity of a lifetime: performing with Lauryn Hill. He even worked with her on a demo for a track that became “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/kUvtyBW0Q_A?si=d3791VyTs2p4UAWJ\">Lose Myself\u003c/a>.” (It was featured on the soundtrack of \u003cem>Surf’s Up\u003c/em>, a 2007 animated film about surfing penguins.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13967716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13967716\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/kev-choice-and-lauryn-hill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/kev-choice-and-lauryn-hill.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/kev-choice-and-lauryn-hill-160x200.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kev Choice and Lauryn Hill on tour in 2006. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Kev Choice)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Choice says their collaboration came together in a complete whirlwind. One day he got a call to meet Hill at an Emeryville studio. She was one of his idols, so of course, he said yes. It turned out to be an audition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As she started playing her guitar, he began playing along on his keyboard.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think the other guys were, like, just confused,” he says, laughing. “They were like, what the hell is going on?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Afterwards, Choice got another call: Could he put a band together for her? He scrambled, calling everyone he knew. Before long he was the musical director of an all-Bay Area band that accompanied Hill to shows in Hawaii, Japan and Brazil.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OPjcgZPGAq8\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On tour, Choice was inspired by the way Hill carried herself, how she charted her own path and defied expectations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It gave me the courage that I could achieve anything in this industry,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Giving it his all as a solo artist\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Choice came back to Oakland fired up. He was ready to dedicate himself to his own music, wholeheartedly. It paid off in 2014 when he came out with an album that made waves: \u003ca href=\"https://kevchoice.bandcamp.com/album/oakland-riviera\">\u003cem>Oakland Riviera\u003c/em>\u003c/a>. With lyrics addressing racial injustice, healing and Oakland pride, the project’s elaborate, propulsive instrumentation has a funky, jazzy Afrofuturist vibe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJoftyUh8a0\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At this point, Choice had cemented his reputation in hip-hop and jazz. And after \u003cem>Oakland Riviera\u003c/em>, he got the chance to show the world what he could do with his classical training. The opportunity arrived thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13901635/michael-morgan-visionary-oakland-symphony-conductor-dies-at-age-63\">Michael Morgan\u003c/a>, the late music director of the Oakland Symphony, who passed away in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan was one of the nation’s few Black leaders of a major orchestra — and Choice had looked up to him since high school. When they met at a Recording Academy mixer, it turned out the maestro was already familiar with the younger man’s work. He invited Choice to compose his first piece for a full orchestra: 2018’s \u003cem>Soul Restoration Suite\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tiv9_GovdHY\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The five-movement piece took that blend of hip-hop, classical and jazz that Choice had been trying to pull off for decades, and brought it to the next level. Choice conceptualized it as a love letter to Oakland through all of its struggles and triumphs. The first movement tells the story of the Spanish conquest of the area’s Ohlone inhabitants, and Choice’s words flow over lush orchestration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before this, Choice had composed for quartets and smaller ensembles, but he had never written for a full orchestra before. In Morgan, he found an open-minded mentor who took hip-hop seriously as an art form and appreciated Choice’s personal voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like he just kept encouraging me to take what I do as a band director, as a musician, as a hip-hop artist, and use the orchestra to enhance it,” he says. “And keep my original style. Like, don’t try to write like Beethoven. Don’t try to do Stravinsky, do your original music. But using the orchestra as another palette or as more colors to enhance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13964203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13964203\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kev Choice plays the piano at his studio in Oakland on Sept. 12, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Morgan had charted a path for Choice and so many others.

At only 17 years old, he’s already headlined two sold-out shows at the jazz club Yoshi’s. He says it’s Choice’s versatility that inspires him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It shows how important that skillset is to know all genres of music and not be like, I don’t play classical or I don’t play rock music,” Brame adds. “He knows all of it. So yeah definitely, that’s one of my inspirations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These days, Choice might be busy with community work, but he hasn’t lost sight of his own music. His 2024 EP, \u003ca href=\"https://open.spotify.com/album/2WoxdPZgSbsJ6lVlgCGBJe\">\u003cem>All My Love\u003c/em>\u003c/a>, is the clearest distillation yet of his personal voice and vision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a vulnerable project that takes stock of how he’s shown up in relationships over the years. It examines his personal growth and maturation as a man.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The project culminates in the bittersweet song “Congratulations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/52eYIEiDLXw?si=eK08m1l0u9QtBx4Z\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choice raps over moving piano arrangements, accompanied by a string quartet, harp and upright bass. In the lyrics, he speaks to an ex who is now getting married.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He’s happy for her and a little regretful, looking back at what went wrong and what could have been.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his piano, Choice breaks down how his arrangements underscore the emotion of the track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Whenever I play ninth chords or minor chords, sometimes it can be dark. Some people say it may be very sad,” he says. “But I almost feel like it’s more sentimental. I’m thinking about what I was going through. And that chord really offers a lot of space to me for reflection.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As I listen to him play, it’s hard not to feel an appreciation for the complicated beauty of the life lessons all of us go through.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choice says \u003cem>All My Love\u003c/em> is just a teaser for a full-length project that’ll come out later this year. He also recently accepted a position as a tenure-track music professor at San Francisco State University. Over two decades into his career as a musician, educator and community advocate, Choice is finally getting the recognition he deserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like as a hip hop artist, I’m always trying to grow, try to get more expressive, try to stay relevant,” Choice affirms. “I don’t want my sound to ever get stale or not continue to evolve.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That growth mindset has been a theme in Choice’s career since the very beginning, and it’s propelled so much more than his personal evolution. The hundreds of students he’s taught, and the countless audience members who’ve seen him live, have left with a little piece of his vision: to look beyond arbitrary boundaries, to come together and to better ourselves and our communities through art.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

The small, dark-purple room looks something like a wizard’s lair out of a fantasy novel, with tall, epic columns and dark curtains.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kev Choice Ensemble is rehearsing for a conference that’s bringing 2,000 activists, artists and academics from across the nation to Oakland to discuss topics like the Indigenous Land Back movement and Palestinian liberation. Choice sits at his keyboard, rapping about the painful legacy of slavery before affirming the power of everyday people to make change. As his jazz band grooves, they alchemize devastation into hope.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What I try to bring is the purpose, the intention, of the message, and uplift the issues while giving people encouragement,” he says. “[I try] to create an environment where we can just have fun and be free and enjoy together for a moment in time, before we get back to the work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Choice speaks with the ease of someone who knows who he is and owns it, but it took him decades to move comfortably between his roots in hip-hop culture, his love of jazz and his classical training. Classical music used to turn its nose up at hip-hop. But in recent years orchestras have begun looking to collaborate with rappers to appeal to younger, more diverse audiences — basically, to stay relevant in the 21st century.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the world is finally catching up to the forward-thinking vision Kev Choice has had for decades.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/RMQbdElhnEo'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/RMQbdElhnEo'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003ch2>Navigating separate musical worlds\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>For Choice, breaking boundaries wasn’t easy — and not just musical boundaries, but those of race, class and culture.

Calls for auditions started coming, and he got hired to join Michael Franti and Spearhead on an international tour.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Franti had come out of the Bay Area’s underground hip-hop scene, and he attracted a global fan base with his fusion of hip-hop, reggae and funk. The opportunity expanded Choice’s world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being a kid from Oakland and, you know, to be walking down the street in Switzerland or France or Belgium,” he reflects, “it blew my mind on what the world looked like and the connection of people to music as well. Like, how strong that was.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tour pushed Choice to grow his skillset — he had to trade his sheet music and piano for playing by ear on an electric keyboard. He had his own ambitions as a solo artist. But word got out after the Spearhead tour, and he became an in-demand sideman. In the years that followed, he went on the road with alternative and conscious hip-hop artists like Zion I and Lyrics Born.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Around the world with Lauryn Hill\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 2006, Choice got the opportunity of a lifetime: performing with Lauryn Hill. He even worked with her on a demo for a track that became “\u003ca href=\"https://youtu.be/kUvtyBW0Q_A?si=d3791VyTs2p4UAWJ\">Lose Myself\u003c/a>.” (It was featured on the soundtrack of \u003cem>Surf’s Up\u003c/em>, a 2007 animated film about surfing penguins.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13967716\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 768px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13967716\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/kev-choice-and-lauryn-hill.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/kev-choice-and-lauryn-hill.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/11/kev-choice-and-lauryn-hill-160x200.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kev Choice and Lauryn Hill on tour in 2006. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Kev Choice)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Choice says their collaboration came together in a complete whirlwind.

He was ready to dedicate himself to his own music, wholeheartedly. It paid off in 2014 when he came out with an album that made waves: \u003ca href=\"https://kevchoice.bandcamp.com/album/oakland-riviera\">\u003cem>Oakland Riviera\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.

And after \u003cem>Oakland Riviera\u003c/em>, he got the chance to show the world what he could do with his classical training. The opportunity arrived thanks to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/arts/13901635/michael-morgan-visionary-oakland-symphony-conductor-dies-at-age-63\">Michael Morgan\u003c/a>, the late music director of the Oakland Symphony, who passed away in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Morgan was one of the nation’s few Black leaders of a major orchestra — and Choice had looked up to him since high school. When they met at a Recording Academy mixer, it turned out the maestro was already familiar with the younger man’s work. He invited Choice to compose his first piece for a full orchestra: 2018’s \u003cem>Soul Restoration Suite\u003c/em>.\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/Tiv9_GovdHY'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/Tiv9_GovdHY'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cp>The five-movement piece took that blend of hip-hop, classical and jazz that Choice had been trying to pull off for decades, and brought it to the next level. Choice conceptualized it as a love letter to Oakland through all of its struggles and triumphs. The first movement tells the story of the Spanish conquest of the area’s Ohlone inhabitants, and Choice’s words flow over lush orchestration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before this, Choice had composed for quartets and smaller ensembles, but he had never written for a full orchestra before. In Morgan, he found an open-minded mentor who took hip-hop seriously as an art form and appreciated Choice’s personal voice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I feel like he just kept encouraging me to take what I do as a band director, as a musician, as a hip-hop artist, and use the orchestra to enhance it,” he says. “And keep my original style. Like, don’t try to write like Beethoven. Don’t try to do Stravinsky, do your original music. But using the orchestra as another palette or as more colors to enhance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13964203\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2000px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13964203\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED.jpg 2000w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2024/09/240912-KEVCHOICE-08-BL-KQED-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kev Choice plays the piano at his studio in Oakland on Sept. 12, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Morgan had charted a path for Choice and so many others.
