The Absence
i am the absence, the sole remaining member of The Clockwork Kids. this crew is 100% innovative and fully capable of destroying any of your idiot friends who claim to "rap".
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
this is pretty much just a solo project now...i attempted to rebuild my crew to no avail, so FUCK all those who jumped on and just got swept off the deck...i'll manipulate microphones by my lonesome. currently i'm collaborating with an artist known as Mind Frame...you can hear him on one of my newer tracks, though it's just a first take...
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
back when Clockwork Entertainment first started out in 2001, we played a few venues in San Diego, and freestyled on a few street corners. nothing fancy.
