the way down to meet Josh Martinez | had to sit on the bus beside a guy who
smelled like he drank the entire contents of a liquor store and then threw that
up inside another liquor store. He also liked to whistle louder than the rap in
my headphones. This is what | put up with for Josh Martinez. Mr. Martinez is
not only a rapper so good that most rappers want to learn how to rhyme
when they hear him, but he is such a great guy you'd walk over all 3 of your
mothers graves to get him ice cream. Currently on the Anticon roster and
Low Pressure records he is part of the proof that Vancouver is full of some of
the best hiphop you've never heard in your life. So a few of us went down to
a well-known watering hole at Cambie and Cordova to discuss rap, chicken
and hair.
