He keeps rizing to new levels in the game. Rizeberg, one of Tacoma's veteran MC/poets, had to be a part of Grit City Fest. No doubt. He stays busy with dope material to deliver on stage and has the album credits from the studio to match his hustle on stage.

EvergreenOne and Todd Sykes have been earning respect in the 253 with their witty, original and Tac-Town-centric lyricism.

There are far too many people who would be ashamed to say they like something as fundamentally shallow and conventional as AC/DC, but I'm not one of them. I think this is part of why I've grown to love Big Wheel Stunt Show. They don't sound like AC/DC, per
