That's awesome, looks like Lyrics born is hitting the road pretty hard eh? I saw Lateef the Truth Speaker at the DJ Shadow concert here in Seoul. sadly there aren't many good concerts here in Seoul but there is this one Korean rap group called the Dynamic Duo that are friggin rad and they're at everybboy jam that I go to which is awesome :p

Anyways, keep in touch.

PS: We still need to get you married to my brother for th last name...
