The brown blotches of the benevolent skin cancer the sun brings from its reflection on the tropic sea were on his cheeks.

Hip hop is just a reflection of what's going on, or where the art is....Technology definitely gives artists a new mind, new voice and creativity. Right now people need to be more places at once....so whatever can get people to the next level to be efficient is how technology is going to be used......The danger is if people are relying too much on the machines, that new mind and new voice always has to come from within.

Alexandra Kleeman
