"It's been a long time comin'."
At midnight,
Milwaukee lyricist,
Milwaukee wordsmith,
Milwaukee poet
released his sophomore
offering, Mama Tried.
Two-and-a-half years
since Poetry Volume 1:
with only a few
sporadic features,
and he finally returns
to the spotlight
with dense lyricism,
sharp lines, rewindable
tongue twisters,
and an incredible ear
(or two)
for beats.
Spin this one back
1,000 times
and then once more
for good measure.
You can find
Mama Tried
somewhere up high
on my end of the year
list. Know that.
