Live Interview with Sho Baraka

A rapper’s career can sometimes mirror the arcade edition of Street Fighter 2. Many spend their time in the game fighting their way across the map, using hip hop music as their Hadouken as they face the opposition.

Or the second opinion: I just can’t stop listening to this song. Those are the reactions I want,” explained Palace. In case you can’t tell, Christian Rap artist Palace isn’t a rapper’s rapper.
