Someone named Will kept throwing up a bunch of comments here on demencha over the past couple of weeks. I had no idea who he was until he pointed me out last night at the Record Bar and had me figured out as the author of this super cool local music blog. He said that it was cool that there’s a hip hop blog in KC, among other things. He had actually picked up Ron Ron’s brand new mixtape earlier that day at 7th Heaven, which I had totally forgotten about. (I just got back from 7th Heaven, just now myself). Come to find out the lad is just 13 years old. Apparently his dad was taking him around to all these spots last night, including the Tech N9ne show at the Granada in Lawrence. His dad was super cool too. They both showed appreciation for the magazine/blog. When Will went up to 7th Heaven earlier in the day, he said he looked for a new copy of the magazine, but couldn’t find it…hopefully they’ve all been snatched up already (SHOUT OUT TO 7TH HEAVEN). But I got him and his dad a copy while there at the Record Bar. I walked out to the car with Will and his dad and gave him a KANSASANITY t-shirt (more on that later). The smallest size we had was a large at the time, so I gave it to him and said, “you’ll grow into it.” Hopefully this kid will come out to more hip hop shows with his dad until he turns 21, because we need young kids at hip hop/rap/DJ events around town. Kinda eerie, because Phantom, King Reel, Dutch and Atilla talked about this exact same thing in the story I did with them for the current issue that’s out now (pictured).
DEMENCHA.COM…FOR THE SEEDS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Picture turned out great. Thanks for the magazine and t-shirt. I’ve started a hip hop blog. credentialshiphop.blogspot.com we need to meet up sometime.
Will is the man!
