Hey man...

I just wanted to say how much i love 'Manifesto'.
I've been meaning to tell you for ages.

I found your page by accident from someone elses,but I heard that poem on a Giles Peterson show about 18 months ago. He mixed it over some jazz on a spoken word showcase.
It was my favorite of all the poems on the show and When I found your MySpace page I was really excited and wanted to tell you that it is a really inspiring piece.

Love and rhyme my good man!

Until whenever...

William

Hi Jacob, thanks for accepting. I think you should come back up to Scotland to do some performances (I see you've been to Glasgow already). I really like Freedom and Never... love the innocence of your cousin and that it kind of represents all of us (once upon a time!)
all the best

Hi Jacob ,great to be your friend, I really enjoyed your 4 tracks, Manifesto is immense and your delivery superb,convincing with conviction and to think there is no musical support here only you,the words and the mike. Malcolm
