Adonis: I started writing around my sophomore year in high-school so that would be 98 or 97. No clue why I started, but I quit for a few years in between up to about three years ago when I became a junkie for writing. I would love to get published one day, the problem is sitting down and following through. How'd it all start for you? My original name was x-caliber though. Went by that for a good 6years at least.


Timeless: I always fucked around on my grannys typewriter as early as 4-5 yrs old, typing up my rip off goosebumps type short shorttttt stories. Didn't dive into rhymes til I was about 9 or 10. Mostly ghosted freestyling.com for a couple years. Hit the old RSTL off and on on RapMusic. Also posted a bit on UGHH. Stopped when I was 16 or so but always wrote here and there. Now I'm 26, came back at it two years ago and haven't stopped since it seems. I don't think it'll ever leave me to pen up some rhymes or short stories. I always wanted to write a novel in the back of my mind but I don't have the patience lol. You do writing outside of rap? Anywhere I can check some out at? What's your specialty?



No, I write short stories that rhyme 99% of the time. I have a huge catalog and one day would love to just drop it off somewhere and let a publisher do what they must with it. I know YDK wrote a children's book, so likely I'll do this first, but honestly I'm lazy when it comes to that shit. I been moding so long now that I ain't got time for other shit. It takes a lot out of me man, and my final stop will be this winter topical and I'm stepping down from it. I just want to write. High hopes for doing a screen play eventually. What else would you like to work on? A re-boot on a more gory goosebumps would be glorious though. 26 is young bro, you got time on your side but it passes quick.









Idk I feel like my writing has regressed. I was in the champ match vs. Oats two seasons ago and now I can't even buy a vote from these new cats. Other than that I'd like to write a novel or a screenplay one day, most likely when I retire lol. Speaking of modding, you and baron have done a great job keeping this league together. Any ideas as to who's going to hold it down for the next aowl? I'd love to see you two get back on the pen game asap.



No clue man, but application always accepted. I know EtH is a candidate for one but beyond that nobody has showed much interest. I miss the fuck out of writing. I mean I still write, but not actually sitting down to pen. I just been doing these 45 minute keys which I'm good at now. Used to take me 2 hours to write, but I still miss taking my time. I feel your frustration with not getting votes though. To play devils advocate though, you been writing short verses so if you going against full verses it's a tough win.

I'm enamored with beating names. I got Lars although he hates it. I knocked off a few big names from PR my home site before they retired. This is really what I write for now. People on my list currently are certain, zygote, vulgar and cake. I got Nigma once. Though he's much better now. Frank to, he killed me the only time we faced. Why do you write? What's your motivation?



Man I don't even know lol. I guess old habits die hard. I forgot all about PR since NC came back from GOWs grave. Who do you see champing this season? Do you plan on writing in the winter topical or are you just modding?




I'm not going to answer who I think is going to win AOWL until I see the bracket, but I will say my list of candidates is maybe three people, but then again, i never had YDK in the finals last year so.... I would love to compete in the Winter Topical but I also realize I can't put my full effort into it cause of writing mags and shit. But I'll def try and multi-task. Also, tsk tsk on not getting close to answering the original question of why do you write. It's all good, find that motivation and destroy it. Who do you most want to see battle in the finals or a battle in general with the field we've compiled?


And that's all for me brother, appreciate the time. I gotta work on this mag that I have high hopes for. Looking good so far man. Pieces.



Lol I honestly couldn't tell you why. I'd like to see asylum vs. Mr.j in the finals. Ydk has all the tools to make another run plus he took the past few weeks off to prewrite bars so he should be good lol.
