FEATURING: NEPTUNE
Neptune isn't just the planet that rules over February. It's the signature of an innovative wordsmith from Washington, DC. "She really gives you rhythm and in-depth syntax. She has a really firm grasp of language and dialect." Continuously challenging the norm, through music, poetry and action, Neptune constantly epitomizes what it means evolve.
