SL Jones reps the Little Rock corner of 23rd and Wolfe in all his songs. That place is no joke.

The neighborhood I grew up in is hardly similar, but it’s just four miles away. 

Of course Little Rock’s hottest rapper lives in Atlanta. Nonetheless, he’s from Little Rock and reps Little Rock accordingly. Why didn’t anybody tell me about him?

someone told me tonight that Earl Sweatshirt was born in Little Rock,

Towncraft (Richard Matson, 2007)

[In April of ‘93] “There was a new governor and his daughter was having a birthday party, so she wanted to have a show for her birthday. So we put on a punk rock show in the back of the Governor’s Mansion… It was unreal. It was on the front page of the paper the next day. There my band is on the front page of the paper… We thought we ran the world.”

An angry neighbor of the governor wrote the paper and dubbed the crowd “a generation of vipers.”
