Yes. I've only performed once, but it came pretty easily to me. I'd love to do it again, but I probably won't be able to get many gigs until I expand my music catalogue.
Immortal Technique is and always will be my biggest influence. He's the one who introduced me to underground hip hop and he's the reason I started rapping. But other than him, plenty of dope emcees have shaped me and my craft: Aesop Rock, Slug, Canibus, Shad, Apathy, Celph Titled, Eminem, Rakim, Big L, Jay-Z, Buck 65, Cage, Chino XL, Diabolic, all of the Wu-Tang Clan, Redman, Mos Def, Talib Kweli, One Be Lo, and the list goes on and on. I draw a lot of musical influence from other genres as well. Bob Marley, Bob Dylan, and Jim Morrison have shaped my song writing and thought process, mainly for when I write choruses.
At the moment, a Samson C01U USB Studio Condenser Mic and a recording program called Reaper.
If my music makes you think, question, or influences you in any way, I've done my job.
