Clarity
Montreal, Quebec Won First Prize on 1/22/2011
I hate writing these things. The third person is so pretentious. Oh well, If I have to then:
The modern hip hop is associated with many negative themes and practices. Numerous artists in this field regurgitate the same poor market formula and adopt a false persona. Hip hop is based on truth. That being said, I'd tap Avril Lavi-I MEAN- Clarity disassociates himself from all things gangster or generic and unrelated to his lifestyle.
Born in Montreal, and raised in a lower middle clas...

A question like that just simply cannot be taken seriously, so i did what needed to be done. " Rebecca Leave " i told her. And so it began, the birth of REBECCA LEAVE.
