If you are in NYC (or even lame places like Jersey and Monsey…) then sign up to read, spit, singer song write, rap, or even just to make jokes at this months Shemspeed Open Mic! It all goes down this Weds Feb 13th right before you get your smooth on! 7pm at the Knitting Factory. (74 Leonard St – TriBeCa) Sign up by electronic-mailing openmic@shemspeed.com.
NOTE: We here at Shemspeed and Jewlicious(Fest) actually like people from Jersey and Monsey. Also, we never refer to Jews as Kike’s only in posts on the internet and only to draw your attention to said post.

Shemspeed is an independent recording label and promotional agency highlighting cross-over music artists with positive and unifying messages. Founded by Erez Safar, an American-Israeli DJ/Producer, Shemspeed promotes over 15 dynamic artists representing a wide range of genres including hip-hop, reggae, and rock. These artists include Y-Love (revolutionary Jewish hip-hop), Diwon (Yemenite / Sephardic hip-hop, Israeli music and more), DeScribe (soul-awakening dancehall, hip-hop, & soul), and Electro Morocco (Israeli rock, dance music.) Shemspeed artists, collectively showcasing the diversity in world Jewish music, have performed with musicians as varied as Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Idan Raichel and Eminem; they’ve been profiled in Rolling Stone, SPIN, The New York Times and XXL; and they’ve been seen and heard around the world on various TV appearances (Conan O’Brien, CBS and BBC World) and global radio. Shemspeed’s mission is unifying people through culture and education, celebrating diversity and common ground. By way of this work, we add a public Jewish voice to multi-cultural, inter-faith, creative and collaborative bridge-building.
