Beautiful, but that was picked early.
is it really myth or reality to listen to plants classical music?

As am I, and always have been since I was 12 years old. Even before kind of, because I was writing poetry/lyrics even before that. Still do. I've done multiple vocal recordings, many people have used my lyrics, and I've even delved into a fair amount of recording work in the studio, and a bit of production.
My specialties lie in lyricism though. The lyrics, but also the pronunciation of syllables, the effect tone has with specific portions of a word at certain points in the bar, making words rhyme that normally don't, and especially the mastery of using double-entendres and metaphors for *other* similar linguistic trickery. Metaphors containing metaphors and such. Word trickery.
Hip-hop has always appealed to me because I was a lyricist and linguistics person before I ever heard of rap. I was young. I hated English class, but excelled at it.
First hip-hop track I ever heard was LL-Cool-J's "I'm bad", and at the same time, Run-DMC's "Raising Hell". I was completely hooked. I'm also an Eminem fan. Although strange, he's one of the best lyricists ever. If one ignores the content and focus on the delivery, trickery and outright ownership of both the language and method of delivery with an open mind, his twisting of the language is masterful.
I wish I could share some of the work that I've done myself and with/for others, but that would completely give away who I am personally.

Same. Except that I'm a semi-famous house music DJ. Been heavily involved in the West Coast's house music scene for almost 30 years. Before Covid, I was getting ready to launch a new weekly out in Vegas - one of my business partners moved out there.

It's also refreshing to know that not all Canadians are junkie OG growers of "fire" that is so fucking crazy that no carbon filter on the planet can handle it.
JK - I know a bunch of peeps from up there.
I'm one Canadian who had to evacuate from and sell a 500 acre property because of fire. I don't grow the fire, it burns what I have grown.
I'm more east coast, but did some work down in SF and LA. Maybe we'll cross paths in real life sometime. I'm always interested in new, interesting work.
Last work I did though was three years ago. Besides writing, I haven't picked up a mic or been in a studio (other than the little one in my house) in that time. Takes seconds to get back familiar with it all though.
