Detroit vs Detroit vs Detroit vs Everybody [http://eatthiscity.com]
“Before I continue let me tell you about the greatest thing I saw that night. Stevie Soul & Omar Aragones as Mayor Hawthorne. A guy beatboxing with a guy playing guitar and singing really well. It was so totally different than what everyone else was doing that it had no choice to stand out. I have no idea why these guys aren’t asked to be on every show in Detroit but you might want to get with the program.”

Rapt.fm is the brainchild of Erik Torenberg and Stevie Soul. They, along with CTO Jamie Pitts, aka The Source, created the company (and soon will launch a website) as a way to do three things: 1) teach and promote the art of freestyle rap 2) promote literacy through rap and poetry 3) make some money along the way.
