    This is the man right here! Loved meeting Dahlak at the Peace Jam last year.

    Seriously. His shit is ridiculous. To anyone that is into conscious, quality rap/def jam (artists like Common), buy Dual Consciousness. The tracks are unbelievable.

    What would you say was your favorite thing about Dahlak as a person and second as an emcee?

    I love that he raps about shit that matters. For example, in "A Peculiar Evolution," he started talking about some chick he was with, and that's usually what most rappers/def jam artists would continue talking about. Instead, he took it a different direction, starting to talk about the issue with using the word "nigger." I think his material is actually worth listening to because you can learn a little bit, get a new perspective on something other than big round booties (or other superficial things lol).

    As an emcee, I think his humorous, light hearted speaking is great (when he's not rapping/jamming [would that even be what you call it? jamming?]). He has a hugeee smile, which definitely makes him seem more approachable despite being on the stage, but that just makes him that much better an emcee.
