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

I love his honest and often humorous takes on life in LA, taking public transportation, new found feelings of commitment and the challenges of growing up today, which he lays over smooth beats and sometimes a live band.

But I've gotten…
