Street Poet (SP)
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Man...do you know how hard it is to find a gig in LA? Man...find me on da street corner, at night, under the street lamp...I'll be the guy spitting a freestyle to the homeless man just to entertain him. Becuase thats what its about, entertainent.
BUT - i have performed, mostly around the East LA area, especially at CSULA.
