That EP is CRAZY DOPE! “Curvy” is my favorite one. Great Post. Its different but more than worth the listen. Thanks for putting me on!
Posted by selorm denu | December 5, 2011, 2:40 pmYeah, I’m not much a spoken word fan, Saul Williams, Ursula Rucker, Jill Scott etc. aside but this is pretty amazing and I don’t just say that ‘cos she’s friends of friends either. Worth a listen for those of you you who passed this by. Selorm, spread the (spoken) word too if you feel so inclined….
