It’s a simple equation, you see…

In 2015, NYC Manga Artist Kenya Danino (otherwise known as KDFoxx) created and performed spoken word poetry from her Boston College thesis: Kingdom Animalia. The collection of poems highlighted the human nature of emotions - using animal imagery to convey the thoughts we keep in the dark for fear of being misunderstood. As she pursued her artistic endeavors, she connected with and bonded over love of music, poetry and anime with the legendary MC, Substantial- who in the past collaborated with the late Japanese producer, Nujabes. Together, they began to construct a poetic project that merged a 90’s-esque dystopian fantasy manga with the raw energy of Hip-Hop and Jazz to tell a story with a fresh perspective on navigating difficult times.

Thus now in the tumultuous year of 2021, they are thrilled to kick off the Animal Arithmetic: Beasts of Burden project; a powerful narrative about navigating life as if the days were numbered. We are humbled and excited to bring you an original manga and music project about the unique journies of those who feel deeply- and KNOW even deeper.
