My Spanglish Hip Hop Story

Iconoclast and Silverback present My Spanglish Hip Hop Story written by Marlon Lizama, produced by Mario Jaramillo.

My Spanglish Hip Hop Story is a one man show following the timeline of a young immigrant’s journey and influences, from the third world to the ultimate melting pot.

It is music, poetry, dance, multi media, and storytelling.

A story of struggle and the power of revolution, love, and this thing they call hip hop.

Through competitions, performances, poetry shows, and the U.S. Department of State, Marlon has traveled to more than 40 countries. His work and ultimate mission is to use the arts as a tool to reach out and change perspective, environment, and lives.
