Leimert Park's resident hip hop genius Verbs at LACMA tonite

Let me introduce to you one of the treasures of the Los Angeles community and part of the family of Leimert Park: Verbs.

Did anyone lose their dog? A dog showed up at our house the week just before the 4th when people were already setting off fireworks. He looks like a doberman/weimariner mix. Sweet. No tags or chip.
