Check out human beatbox/vocal-manipulation maestro eFFeX’s live track “The Right Verbage” on his MySpace page. Check out his starring role in a commercial for some British energy drink you’ve never heard of and will never taste. Check out one of his regular live performances. I’ve seen Rahzel’s solo performance, and Cory “eFFeX” Michael can hang with Rahzel. (I won’t write “is better than,” but, like DJ Deacon, I think it fairly often.) And if he can hang with Rahzel, he can hang with anybody, anywhere. This guy’s amazing. www.myspace.com/effex.
