I remember when willing was just showing up at the Austin Mic Exchange and other local hip-hop events, hungry like all of us are, and trying to find his place in the scene. At first, he had a rapid fire style that was wonderful rich with poetic and referential textures, but over time, willing has honed his style into a very direct approach… well thought word choices and placement, and exploration with lots of depth. Closed Set, a recent collaboration with producer AO, is a two song streaming set with 6 additional tracks available when downloaded. Give willing and AO a listen, a share, and some support.
