"if one man praises you, a thousand will repeat the praise..." japanese proverb


"...talonted, talonted"

what does it take to be talonted? hmm...where do i start? there are way too many positive things to say about this brother, so i'll just tell you why i appreciate him. first things first, talonted is a shinobi (male counterpart of a kunoichi), his ninjutsu: VERNACULAR ASSASSINATION. that's right, he is a lyrical artist who will entice you with his charm and then annihilate you with 16 bars...he's sick with it (trust...i've seen it happen). he definitely moves in stealth-lawyer by day (member of both nj+ny bars, thank you very much) and entrepreneur (hls health food restaurant in maplewood, nj). but when he steps infront of a mic...i can't even find the words, he was just made to perform! just this tuesday, he took home the crown at the faces in the crowd showcase...i had no doubts but i needed him to see that the industry is ready...

so why do i appreciate him...his passion. he's an artist like me and even though our mediums are different, the drive is the same. i admire his smarts, his approach, and the fact that he truely wants to use his gift to enlighten others. with him, it's not about fast money, tricked-out cars and fast tricks (lol). instead, he chooses to rhyme about personal growth, making wise business investments, and educating his audience about the culture beyond street life...it's a beautiful thing! and you gotta check his fresh! his sneaker game is BANANAS and yall know how i feel about flyy kicks (im comimg for you, t). listed below is every way you can join his movement...so let's get it!
