The world would be a better place if more people were into poetry. Appreciate this:

MC Shamrock approves of this shizzle.

Brilliant!

Checked out the old MC Shamrock posts. Pretty sweet.
Stoked he points to Brethren. Those guys kill it.
Brings me back to the days Junksion used to hiphop jam with Brethren and Krosswordz at Blackstump Festival

Hey Joel,

Yeah the Stump days were (as the Mustard crew used to say) “flippin dope” …

Are you in Syd? We should rock down to Krosswerdz sometime! I still haven’t been (to my shame!)…

A.k.a Shamrock!

re: lauryn. totally. i wonder if we could do the first ever Facebook group that gets the album happening!! kind of like the Rage Against the Machine thing that got them Top of the Pops!

ah sweet. yeah i shared a stage with oakbridge once.
man connections everywhere!

i checked your blog – do you have a link to some of your tunes?

ah, awesome dude. small world!

hmmm, tunes. not really. there’s a couple of videos on Youtube (with my vocals but no vid coz i’d recently left!) if you search for “206collab” … also, on the http://www.hatonrack.com website there’s a video of an impromtu verse I did last year with the old crew…. hmmm, but beyond that…

well, maybe you can give me some legal advice – since our record label went under, do you reckon I could upload our album to the web for free?
