It's a long story.

To be determined at a later date. Thus far, nothing other than a competition in late 2003.

The internet, like most anything else that affects music, cannot be given a "right" or "wrong." My answer remains that the internet has expanded the availability of artists previously unheard of, most likely because they weren't "label worthy." This just makes it easier I guess to become an indie artfag, as the medium is readily available; I'm a guilty party. It makes possible international collaborations and discussions between artists, a place to attain advice and, well, fans of course. There are negatives as well, but i'll keep it positive.

I write for myself, others who can relate are cool but not necessary for me to continue.

I've been working with hip hop as my medium for a long time, be it through words or rhythms. I'd say the intial entry into the genre was well before I was aware of it's gathering; I was nine and writing rhythmic poetry about everything and anything both at home and in school. One day I heard something on the radio, and wrote poetry to it (I think it was Billy Joel's "Field of Dreams") and my Kerouakesque spoken word emerged from that. More of a brick by brick sort of deal.
