Do you play live?
I like to produce but trying to get me confidence of the mic so maybe one day i ll be on stage rapping
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It definatley changes it, first its a pain in da ass for the majors, illegal downloading and that but unsigned artists can get their music out there
