His verbal gymnastics ensnare audiences, but his intended meaning is often as important as his delivery. “I tend to point out society's flaws,” he writes, “by attacking the usual 'rap' content of misogyny, dope-dealing, gun-toting, baseless and exaggerated bravado.” Michael Heathen has performed in Dallas, Ft.
