    OK, just listened to the samples. Not bad. It's not a style that I'm particularly fond of (Aesop Rock-ish) but I can respect his skills and wordplay. I started reading his one-sheet, and just betgan wondering why the hell every rap artist has to have some type of horrible background in their bio: "Anglo-Saxon, also known as Ill All, grew up
    somewhat unadjusted and frustrated, and survived an
    attempt on his and his family's lives by his father. Anglo has fought through this unthinkably tough time and many more somewhat normal life frustrations. It almost goes without saying that he understands dealing with hardships and pain."... Is it for street cred? I can't wait for the day that a top selling rapper comes out and his bio reads: "Grew up in a 2 parent household in upper middle class America. Enjoys every bit of life and pursues embraces happiness on a daily basis."
