Tajai
Summary:
Tajai: What is there to say about him? NOTHING! He's a bitch-ass! Nah, but on the real (I'm just playing, kid!!!), Tajai is stereotypically known as the leader of Souls of Mischief, a title well suited for his skills if he does so to chose it. His mind shakes and flutters some of the most intelligent verbals any MCee has ever ciphered upon a microphone (or four track, for that matter). Definately a great example of what Hieroglyphics has to offer.
