While many rappers turn to acting or delving into new business ventures as a side hustle, rapper Positive K has chosen to take another route. According to AllHipHop.com, Positive K recently brought his stand-up routine to Charleston, South Carolina’s Palmetto Comedy House.

“Being a rapper is a hard job, so I decided to [do] stand-up comedy,” Positive K. explained to AllHipHop.com. “My Guy Ice-T said I beat him to the punch, because he said he was going to go in himself.”

Considered a veteran in Hip Hop Positive K is most well-known for his 1992 hit “I Got A Man” and “I’m Not Havin’ It,” a collaboration with fellow rapper MC Lyte. He’s also recorded songs with Big Daddy Kane, Brand Nubian, and more.
