Pedestrian, The

Real Name:
James Brandon Best
Profile:
A mogul in the mid 90's underground rap tape trade, pedestrian was a southern Cali leak and vital link to some of anticon's early influences. His nomadic nature and a Greyhound bus led him cross country to rent a closet from sole's mom in Maine and spread the gospel of California. His former days of long language freestyling and intense lyrical study have since sublimated into thought out stanzas and heavy reading in the midst of his mid 20s maturation. As the collective's unofficial liaison to the academic world, the pedestrian lingers as a presence in every anticon writer's inner editor conscience.
