<p>Guante + Big Cats! - A Hug From a Stranger from Tru Ruts on Vimeo.</p>

What Critics Say About Guante & Big Cats:

“Part Cormac McCarthy, part Woody Guthrie, and part Public Enemy, An Unwelcome Guest is an intricately woven poetic and sonic excursion through landscapes mental, emotional, and physical, cementing Guante and Big Cats!’s status as two of the best emerging artists within Twin Cities hip-hop.” – TC Daily Planet

"Guante could very well follow Atmosphere and P.O.S. in the long-line of outstanding rappers to break from the Midwest." – CMJ

"Guante and Big Cats! create intelligent, political hip hop that mercifully doesn't come off as preachy or self-righteous. It's sobering, demanding your attention like a car crash, yet emotional and alarmingly intimate at times." – City Pages

I just got home from an AMAZING 5 day retreat in Oracle, Arizona.  It was the culmination of 9 months of study & practice with a wonderful Sangha from Tucson, AZ.  We comitted to taking REGUE in the Buddha, Dharma and Sangha.  14 of us from the group recieved our Precepts from our teacher Frank Jude Boccio.

For most of the retreat we were in Noble Silence, no talking to anyone.  But for 7 hours it was lifted for social time which included a fun uplifting Dharma Hip Hop Yoga class.  We pulsed, pumped and POPED with passion and joy.  

Thank you everyone for allowing me to share this practice with you.  Here is the playlist I promised.

Moksha Brampton is a new studio with my homegirl Paris leading the charge. It was the smallest crew of the tour. This is often the case for newer studios. But these cats were hype & we had a wonderful time.

The benefits of hitting up Brampton is that I got to sneak in a little time my Dad. He picked me up at the train station and we caught up!

Pics are me with Brampton studio owner Paris & pic of my Dad.

Fact Only I Care About
1. Brampton was the only rain I had the entire tour.

When the tour rolled up to LONDON, ON, I knew I was in for a great evening. This amazing Moksha studio was where I first toured my Dharma Hip Hop Yoga class almost 4 yrs ago now. Thanks you London.

Last night was crazy at Moksha Yoga Montreal. The room was packed (we forgot to take pics of the actual class) & the energy was flowing. From moment one peeps let go of their inhibitions and let their booty's shake!

It was seriously inspiring to see a community surrender to joy like that! You lifted me up Montreal!

Thank you Edmonton!! This city is mad dope. First off the Moksha teacher Sangha came out & repped it hard. These classy cats set the tone for uplifting fun. Big shouts to my homie 'hottoddy' who came to all three of my programs in Eddie & Sherwood Park. He dressed up to, & hooked me up with some sweet ass swag.

The tour has landed in Vancouver and I'm excited. Staying at my homegirl Kimchi's house. She's feeding me good stuff! Last night for dinner we went to Dharma Kitchen (vegan Buddhist cafe) and for breakfast I'm eating "Holy Crap".
