Great to see Verbal Kent back on it, looking forward to this release
Still waiting on a new Giraffe Nuts album though!
Whats up! I’m FlyQ the Anchor from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada. Coming from Butt-fuck Canada I’m short
on outlets for exposure. I apologize in advance for using this method to show you my music.
I just released a compilation EP and I’d love some feedback.
I specialize in lyrics and story telling. Here’s the link to my tape.
Hope you like it!

GREAT!!! A BUNCH OF WHITE BOYS CLAIMING THEY FROM THE HOOD…THIS IS THAT REAL RAP SON!!!
Actually they’re all from the hood! Apollo Brown & Red Pill – Detroit and Verbal Kent – Chicago! Dumbass!!
I WILL FUCK ALL THESE WHITE BOYS UP IF THEY OVER HERE ACTING LIKE THEY FROM THE PJ’S NIGGA…BEING FROM CHICAGO AND DETROIT DON’T AUTOMATICALLY MEAN U HOOD OR U SOME TYPE OF GANGSTA…FUCK OUTTA HERE WITH BULLSHIT KID
Idiots like you are the reason hip-hop gets a bad name. Half the guys you listen to claim to be from the hood, yet never been anywhere near it.
Not from the hood at all. From a working class family and background and that’s what my writing and this album represents. Feel free to check out my DXNext story, I detail the whole “where I’m from” question in that interview. Never have and never will to claim to be anything that I’m not. Hope you can see beyond your assumptions and check out the album!
Should be ill, this ain’t no gangsta shit, it’s that blue collar gritty detroit to chicago down and out but grinding it out rap. Apollo got fire. You hear his production on Ghostface’s new record? The man is a new legend.
For anyone interested, they released a video interview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=As3t-ffNqXY
