A singer, poet, storyteller, and MC, Lee thrives in a musical midpoint between old-school soul and hip-hop while maintaining a deftness with wordplay and a keen sociopolitical awareness. A former opener for Luther Vandross, Cypress Hill, Kidz in the Hall, and poet Saul Williams, Lee comes to BAMcafé Live with tracks from his confessional sophomore release, Naked, a provocative, ambitious album imbued with unflinching purpose and lyricism.
