About Me

Lawrence “Martial Law” Mante is a beat maker, poet, and prolific rhyme writer. He uses his words and music to express the world as he sees it. Listeners can relate to his take on reality and his contemporary spin on traditional forms. One can’t help being drawn in by his non-challant narratives and clever wordplay. His rhymes and haikus appear in Guerrillas of the Word.I edited my profile at Freeweblayouts.net , check out these Myspace Layouts!
