I Grew Up In The Spoken-word Community. Before Everybody Had A Home Studio, Or Before We Could Get Booked For Shows, Open Mics Were The Only Way To Be Heard By Other People. It Really Gave Me A Chance To Develop As A Performer. Reading A Piece Of Poetry With No Beat In Front Of 20 People Is Way More Challenging Than Rocking For 10,000 People.
