Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I used to go under Owtzain, and I made a few tracks as that alias. I signed up to Lyrical Combat, and after winning a couple of battles decided to leave the whole idea for rapping for my band, Purge. I asked 'Piginabox' to sign up and take on a few people, and now look where he is, haha. After about a year, Pig asked me to come back to rapping, and after a while I decided I would. And now birth's Poetic Junkie.
I left LC because I'm not really the battling type. I believe hip-hop is a form of storytelling, and just joking about. You're not meant to 'diss' or try to hurt people through hip-hop.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not yet, but I do play in my band, Purge. (http://www.purge.tk).
Your musical influences
Dilated Peoples, Piggy Z, Biz Markie, Apathy, Demigodz, Jeru The Damaja, Cypress Hill, Beastie Boys, Jay Z, The Pharcyde, Black Sheep, Pharoahe Monch, Mike Shinoda, Jurassic 5, Jedi Mind Tricks, X-Ecutioners.
What equipment do you use?
Piginabox supplies me with my mic, and all beats are either from here or made by me.
Anything else?
I'm just gonna pay homage to all my friends here:
