Vita.mn - Best New Bands (January 2008) Top 5 Albums - Star Tribune (December 2007) City Pages - The Year's Best Local Albums (December 2007) City Pages - Picked to Click (September 2007) Star tribune (September 2007) RapReviews.com (October 2007) The Minnesota Daily (September 2007) Hip Hop Club Interview (September 2007) Vita.mn (August 2007) Graphic Showbiz (October 2006) City Pages (July 2006) www.manifestmc.com What the deal is. Peace World! A child of the night I am. Born and raised on African soil with a fierce love in my eyes for beauty and struggle for beauty. Music is a window to my soul. I think in harmony with the drum and Im a hopeless sucka for melodies that gratify the ears and taste good in the mouth when spoken. I've discovered comfort in my mortality and creative juice in what would be insecurities. Spiritual I am. Scorpio child. the passions flowing through me seldom appreciated and oft misunderstood. self-pity and apathy are anathema to my being. Consider this music a celebration. Its a party yall! Relax yourself let your conscience be free.u now tuned to the sounds of the ESL emcee. Unwind and let your mind free. BRRRRRRucka! Fresh wear @ www.afrocenchic.com |
