Your musical influences

I have also been licensed and appointed as an ambassador of street politics by OG's from my district. I humbly accept my task to voice the will of the starving. Ask about me.
What equipment do you use?
solid gold microphones with diamond cut cords
Anything else?
support underground music. Buy don't burn
