| Landon Wordswell |

Landon Wordswell is an Orlando based, St Louis area raised touring artist that has taken his talents just about everywhere. Wordswell has been fortunate enough to sharpen his blade amongst some of the best emcees alive doing shows and touring both nationally and/or internationally alongside greats such as Talib Kweli, Mos Def, Bun B, The Game, Raekwon (Wu Tang), Elzhi, Skyzoo, Gift of Gab (Blackalicious), and so many more.

Landon’s live show effortlessly engages the audience with unique personal touches that are added organically via a heavy dose of introspective lyricism and the stories that come with it. At the base of each elaborate rhyme scheme he chooses is a militant, precise delivery. Landon also happens to be one of the newest signees to Skyzoo’s label, First Generation Rich, which will be putting out Wordswell’s most personal album yet, “Remember To Breathe” due to drop this fall.
