My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 2/24/2005
Band Website: gravelhiphop.com molemen.com verbalkent.com
Band Members: I rap for my own good. I rap to release all pressure and all that is uneven. It is and has been my resource for dealing with many realities that cant be adressed and dealt with in any other way. Or at least for me.Ive been through allot of positive and negative, and I'm no fool. I feel strong in knowing that I'm gonna be ok. I will never loose my root.So given that I am emotionally tied and connected to hiphop music, and that It was the first music I really held on to as a young man, and that it has potential "political" power, you know.. in its truth, clarity and popularity- it is-right now, what I want to persue. Its been 7 years. I have worked very hard, and I truly feel I worked hard at it the right way. For the right reasons. Basically I attached myself to it as a partner. And what I write is me now...
Influences: The 97' Bulls
Sounds Like: Catching a gigantic Fish, celebrating and then tossing it back in the tub.
Record Label: Gravel Records/Molemen Inc
