Rickerby Alexander (born November 15, 1992), known professionally as AGE (stylized as ΛGE Or VGE), is a multi-media hip hop recording artist from Southern California. After releasing a number of projects since 2010, ΛGE released his debut album, SASQUAGE, in 2015 which included 9 stand-alone vignettes that would serve as the backdrop to its stage debut "Legend Of An Invisible Man". ΛGE first appeared on stage at the age of 15 as a member of the BuckWorldOne ensemble, a play created and produced by Rickerby Hinds, playwright, professor and one of the founder’s of Hip-Hop Theater. The production featured krump dancing, spoken word, and video projections, which toured throughout the U.S. and Canada, and was the first Hip-Hop Theater production to be performed at the prestigious Oregon Shakespeare Festival.

SASQUAGE is a story about ΛGE: A character who combines his love of a number of artistic expressions: music, visual imagery, and dance into a story about his existence. The piece is completely his vision: from the writing to finding the sonics, to directing and editing the visuals. Through his music, videos, and practice of movement, the piece is an exploration of Black manhood from his perspective while attempting to break the stereotypes of Black men through an impressionistic re-imagining of the narrative of the Legend of Sasquatch lightly being seen through the lens of Ralph Ellison’s novel, Invisible Man.
