Verse rocked 2008 because:
It is hard to choose but I think if I had to pick one album and explain why it rocked it would be Verse Aggression Whether you are fan of hardcore or not, the lyrics sung on this album a lone stand strong as a piece of art. They capture the time in which we live, tackling issues from poverty, superficiality, corruption in government and war. Sean Murphy screams about universal issues that are articulated in an intelligent, artistic, and mature manner.
Favorite thing of the year? PROLETARIAT line of T-shirts. The Proletariat line of t-shirts is my favorite thing of 2008. The brand is built on its uniqueness, quality, and the message it sends to the consumer. This is a company that is not afraid to push the envelope and will continue to do so. Check them out for a better understanding.
What did you wish you did more of in 2008? I think I did everything I wanted to do. I graduated college, landed a great job and have met a lot of amazing people this year including my new found NYC friends.
What are you looking forward to in 2009? An exciting year and hopefully the change that we have been promised.
