Influences
All the Counselors, Psychologists and Therapists in the world.
Of course all the people who I sound nothing like (not trying to) but love: Big Daddy Kane, BDP,PE, Rakim, Run DMC, Canibus, Pac, Big L, Big Pun, B.I.G, Blackaliscious, EPMD, Em, GangStarr, BlackStar, the new Masta Ace, Killah Priest (heavy mental), Little Brother, Atmosphere, Too $hort, Nasty Nas, AZ, Louis Logic, Sage Francis, Mos Def, Talib, Kool G, Common Sense, and the mf'in Immortal Technique.
That is all musical, but the most amazing inspiring artistic influence is Dante Aligheri, who wrote the Divine Comedy (dantes inferno) the illest prose ever crafted.
Sounds Like
Sage Francis, Taalam Acey, Sekou Tha Misfit, Lamar Hill, Buddy Wakefield, KRS-ONE, Myu, Louis Logic, Atmosphere, Common and a lot of deep Spoken Word cats. Design your MySpace with MyLook

Sundown Lounge is a laid back (and often explicit, you bet your ass...) weekly podzine of music, spoken word, progressive politics, weird science, and occasional vignettes from the west coast open mic scene, etc. Physically, I'm in rapidly gentrifying downtown Los Angeles, but metaphysically, my toes are in the sand and the sun is ablaze with deep hues, and a few poets and musicians and scientists have dropped by my beach house to hang out and jam, as the surf whispers nearby...The Open Mic Stage accepts spoken word and music files for play. : Hear "A True Liberator" on Friday's Archived Podcast:
Other news and goings on: 10K is accpeting submissions from poets to feature in our BLOG. If this is of interest to you, please send your poem in as a comment, in the form, with title, author, etc. We will do the rest.
