Hi folks! I’m Larry.

I write the hiphop column ‘round here. I’m also in a local hiphop crew called Cancer Rising.

I don’t write about my own crew in my column cuz I’m not a fucking tool. I hope. I’m realizing now however that this is a bit of a hindrance- cuz goddamn it, who else at this place is going to do it? Zwickel definitely looks out, but I wouldn’t trust the rest of these fools to guess Erick Sermon’s last name- that goes double for you, Charles. So just for this brief, shining moment, I gives a fuck about propriety. I’m plugging us.

So yeah, we rap. Put out a CD that was on KEXP’s best-of-‘05 list(#45), played some good shows, got a new EP coming out next month (god willing). Our old CD had a song called “Rawkstar” that is in every way superior to the Shop Boyz’ “Party Like A Rockstar”. (Schmader, something tells me you’ll back me on this.) Listen to it here if you want.

We’re playing the Neumos Stage tomorrow night @ 10:15pm- right between Viva Voce and The Trucks. Come thru, say wassup.
