So yeah, I liked it.

Look for the acoustic version of Larry and Tina. That was the first time I heard Wax, and the song structure, obvious musical talent, story telling and lyrics made me an instant fan. Personally, I think the beat on the album track fucks up the vibe the acoustic version had.

I hate to think of music designed to appeal to a specific genre. I know it happens, but Wax comes off more as one of those rap nerds who just happens to make music that breathes his personality. Which is what I wish all Hip Hop was. Download his album, Continue. For me, it's a musically talented lyricist who isn't trying to be something, but isn't trying hard to be any sort of counter culture, either.

I actually posted this with you in mind, after I read your depressing shit in the OM lol Glad you made your way to it.
