Brooklyn based hip-hop artist Lemon spins his version of the coming-of-age memoir with this jarring and poignant performance. Lemon’s unique voice seamlessly flows from hard-edged drama to urban poetry, creating a vivid portrait of his difficult yet at times humorous experiences growing up in New York City during the birth of hip-hop. COUNTY OF KINGS is a true story of finding passion and purpose in life, against all odds.
Lemon is a regular on HBO’s Def Poetry, an original cast member and writer of the TONY award winning Def Poetry Jam on Broadway and a Drama Desk nominee.
Running time: 90 minutes.
