Ithaka

Born in the USA, lives in Brazil.

One of the most unusual MCs on the planet. Travels all around the world getting material for his rhymes. His album Somewhere South Of Somalia was written during a two-month solo voyage thru East Africa... Story-telling like we haven't seen since the early days of Slick Rick.
