um gi ma.

We are just in playing languages of the hidden temple with our friends.

We breathe through pipes underwater.

We are the children of the learnt up rap game.

We undead cultures through the unorthodox orthodox, neoclassical fine arts of God and Jesus Christ (the one, true viking bloody folk gang jamboree kitchen party).

Bringing poetry, rap, and hip hop culture into a world-fusion & neoclassical forefront that showcases an unorthodox orthodox view of folk music.

With hopes to elevate rap and hip hop to real olympic levels, we aim for a new standard of emcees, rappers, talkers, beat-makers, sing jays, radio-heads, jazz junkies, slam poets, gospel singers, and minstrel bleeds.

The dojo of um gi ma began as a brainstorm of Taylor Steven Clark, known as Young Salty, who sought a way to teach verbal defense classes in a gamified rap cipher format to protect young women and men from attacks of character and to prevent combat.

The inspiration for the school for verbal combat comes from Nisei Bujutsu Soke Harris Warren, his appreciation for Mortal Kombat, Irish Newfoundland Kitchen Parties from my Jeffords, ballet, music festivals, and campfire musicians everywhere.
