Fastest Rapper in the World? This Guy Watsky

Wow.

I've written before about Macklemore and how musicians going crazy give me goosebumps.

Here's a guy who is following right along with Macklemore, as Mic wrote:

Rap is poetry — even Jay Z says so. That's why it's unsurprising that 27-year-old slam poet Watsky might be the next big rapper of our generation.... Watsky, in an interview with USA Today, said "People like me and Macklemore are telling our own stories for an audience that may not have a context for the founding fathers of rap." Like the best poets and rappers, Watsky takes that responsibility seriously and delivers honestly and vulnerably.

I watched one of his videos, then two, then ten.

He's very talented and it's interesting to think how far he'll go.

Check out his videos below and see if you enjoy him as much as I do.

Moral of the Story

A Little About Tunga's Wonderful Family

Thank you all for your wonderful comments on How Tunga Changed My Life. I know Tunga enjoyed reading them as much as I did.

I'd also like to thank you again Karin for reading Enough and loving that chapter so much that you inspired me to post it up here. That means a lot to me.

I'd like to share a comment that I got from my good friend Jim, who is currently serving in the Peace Corps in Thailand, who said "Travis, you should add a postscript to the post about you and Tunga." I have a feeling my life is my postscript, so it's hard to know where to begin, but let's start with Tunga's family.

Last night Tunga's mom and dad landed in America. This is their first time outside Mongolia, their first time in an airplane (actually 3 airplanes over a 26 hour period), and their first time hugging their daughter in two years. Here's that hug.
