I showed up to the Swagger On the Mic artist showcase
"curling this hair and crossing this bridge" late, but I'm hoping to make the 10.22 show in time ;) Last time, I was just in time for the freestyle cypher which, appropriately, starts of the night. It took a round or two before we
got something that wasn't written from a dude named Pharaoh - luckily for him because his music didn't play when he was supposed to go up. Fun Fact: Written freestyles will always be my pet peeve, forreal. I suppose this isn't a stab at anyone unless someone feels it. I'm not yet amazing at the freestlying thing, so it's always impressive to see anyone who is. The
most brilliant part about showcases like this is that the public gets to
see what the underground is cooking, but as an artist you also get to
meet talent striving for the same as you. The most difficult part of
participating in and attending showcases is that everyone
is an artist. You are undoubtedly in the midst of your competition, and
your time on the mic is the only #fact up for discussion. The most beneficial things I gained from attending this open mic were the feedback... and the opportunity to analyze the field and gauge which steps I need to take next.
