"ikabodveins"
"palm beach county"
tattooist, graffitist, trapist, revolutionist.. behold the lyricist.. the luxurious lock wielder, the Floridian, the one rapper in today's age who has yet to release a Migo flow. salute. ikabodVEINS. his influences are evident in his at times shrill-vocal, heavy hitting lyrics: Slipknot, Crime Mob, GUCCI MANE, Rage Against The Machine, amongst others. If Rob Zombie was to request a production from Lex Luger, you would get the all-to-his-own ikabodVEINS.. his diverse background making the status of "typical" impossible. an artist of multiple talents, South Floridian, Lex Luger affiliate ikabodVEINS has yet to release a track that fails to make me want to do a line and get a face tattoo. I conducted an interview with the highly cultured artist, discussing everything from sweaty raver pussy to 3rd grade mother's gifts, and of course, his favorite Gucci Mane song.
the interview -
