"Hi. I'm Meta."

About Me

"Freshness was brought when Meta took over and the writing took a critical turn, through critiques of the state of hip-hop and introspective storytelling. Meta’s confident flow and irascible charm echoed Common, a rapper he listed in a rundown of worthwhile MCs. The song “Keep Movin,” chronicled an abusive home life and fear in the neighborhoods, and was further buoyed by a driven chorus - a welcome reminder that not all good home-grown hip hop need come from Rhymesayers or Doomtree to be honest and engaging." --- Carl Atiya Swanson, www.howwastheshow.comGet Your Own Voice Player Manage
