Tulsi
I am Tulsi, an emcee located in Seattle. My debut album "fresh points on life" will be out this winter. Do not sleep. I also have an acting part in a new movie coming out called "six ni**as in a cadilac." I play a jewish rapper named "Abraham." Peep my tracks.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
i live for the now. fuck my history. i emcee. i am a student of hip hop. masta ace is my favorite emcee of all time. i like beats. i'm listining to Kool G Rap's "streets of new york" as I type this. i respect the pharcyde, the liks, and heiro for bringing in the westcoast lyricism...not to say Cube wasn't but on an underground tip.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I'm always live.
