Dr. Nick Lewis might be a young physician now, but back in 2004 in Ann Arbor, he was just an undergrad and a deep-underground rapper who went by Piegonface. He was a member of 511 Hustlaz, the crew that operated out of two neighboring apartments in our 2nd-story walkup on Hoover.  

This track, Sonic and Bush Turkeys, is a remix of Pigeonface and DJ Dunnbri’s Sonic and Knuckles, arguably the Hustlaz’ best recorded work, with a feature by Andrew Klieger, a.k.a. AKangaroo. Kangaroo was studying abroad in Australia at the time, and when asked to drop 16 for this song, he was so excited he literally took a tape recorder into the outback in the middle of the night to record himself whispering his verse over a backdrop of some weird, loud Aussie birds. 

Pigeonface’s verses definitely hold up to time; you will not hear iller rhymes about Sega games, ever.

True shit about hansen clarke

We have a Dennis Kucinich type on our hands, and I mean that in the best way possible.

Scott Kurashige from U-M is a baller and a gentleman, btw. Journos looking for a source, heads up.
