My performance at the White House Poetry Event, courtesy of WhiteHouse.gov. This is the premiere of a new song from The Hamilton Mixtape, my next big writing project. It's a hip-hop concept album about the life and death of Alexander Hamilton. I'm accompanied by Tony/Grammy-winning genius Alex Lacamoire. It was one of the highlights of my life to perform for The President, The First Lady and the First Family. I'm so grateful to the White House for making it available. Enjoy.

  • I can't think of anything that is more distinctly American or embodies the spirit of our country more than this performance. A first generation Puerto-Rican American using a traditionally Black artistic medium to tell the story of a white Founding Father at a POETRY JAM hosted by our First Lady in our country's state building.

    This performance gives me chills and I can't get enough.
