For years, beatboxer Nicole Paris and her dad Ed Cage have awed audiences with their beatboxing battles as Nicole and Popz. Paris recently broke from that duet to take on a feat of her own: beatboxing in an opera with the help of Chicago composer, Augusta Reed Thomas. The two share how they came together for “Sweet Potato Kicks the Sun,“ in this #PBS #WTTW #ChicagoTonight segment.
