Yusef was raised on Chicago’s Southside in the neighborhood commonly referred to as the “Wild 100’s.” As a teenager, Yusef became a member of the Islamic street gang, the Blackstone Rangers. During this time, he also overcame his challenge with dyslexia. Yusef began performing spoken word in open mic venues in the late 1980s.

In 2002, Yusef along with jazz saxophonist Mike Phillips collaborated on the song “This Is Not A Game,” which was selected by Michael Jordan to appear on the CD that came with the purchase of limited edition Jordan 17 sneakers. That same year, he performed his poem entitled “I spit...” on the Grammy-winning second season of HBO’s Russell Simmons’ Def Poetry Jam.” He released his debut album in the compilation of The Great Chicago Fire; A Cold Day in Hell in 2003. Yusef has performed at “The Art of Love Tour” featuring Raheem DeVaughn and Chrisette Michele; the “Real Thing Tour” featuring Jill Scott & Raheem DeVaughn; “Touch the Sky Tour” featuring Kanye West & Keyshia Cole; the Carl Thomas & Mary J.

  • RACC Project Grants for 2018 Cycle 2
    RACC Project Grants for 2018 cycle 2 The 88 Projects – 29 organizations and 59 individual artists – are arranged alphabetically. * Clackamas County; **Washington County; All other recipients are Multnomah County. First time Project Grant recipients are highlighted. The RACC Project Grant Program provides financial support to Multnomah, Washington and Clackamas County individual artists and non-profit organizations in three (3) categories: Artistic Focus, Arts Equity & Access, and Arts Services. A project is a specific art presentation, exhibition, creation of work, produced program, or event which is fully executed within a specified timeline and made available to the public. Kamee Abrahamian Quest Artistic Focus Media Arts $5,950 QUEST is part of a shorts series & collaborative filmmaking initiative called World of Q. The film follows L & K, a queer activist couple who are flung into parallel realities after a deadly car accident and must embark on a search between worlds to find each other again. The story was created by myself and my creative partner, lee williams boudakian. For the purposes of this grant, I am seeking post-production funds. Those of us who live on the fringe rarely make the cut when it comes to popular versions of dystopian, utopian or alternate worlds. Our interest in working as sci-fi filmmakers is to highlight underrepresented visions of the future and write ourselves as active agents in future-building, carving out new beginnings from the wreckage of pre/post apocalyptic worlds/landscape. Pulling from the archives of our peoples’ herstories & social justice movements, our films speak into silenced narratives, foretelling the survival of our kind in futures we know we will thrive into.

  • 1 Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Annual Report Types of Vendors Hired, Depending on Production Needs, Include
    Illinois Film Production Services Tax Credit Annual Report FY2020 July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020 When a production company is ready to claim their credit, they engage an Illinois licensed independent Certified Public Accountant who submits a report attesting to the qualified expenses including exact numbers of Illinois residents hired, and vendors used. However, the Film Tax Credit rule provides qualified productions up to two years from the completion of the project to claim a tax credit. Therefore, the figures reported may be for projects dating back to 2014. Beginning in FY2015 Q1, reporting methodology was changed from using spending estimates provided upon application to actual expenditures reported when the credit is claimed. However, we continue to report estimates for performance metrics. Estimates, while less precise, are timelier. Furthermore, projects awarded tax credits during this period may have been previously counted using the prior methodology.
