n.— «“I call myself a floacist but I’m still figuring out what that means,” confesses Natalie. “I like to speak on music—I’m a sing jay. I’m playing with the freestyle thing right now&,dash;it’s a new realm for me. I freestyle with my pen. When I write, I don’t write over and over and over again and I don’t listen to something and take three days to write it. I write on the spot.”» —“Don’t Sleep On The Bedroom Brits” by Shanel Odum Vibe Online Sept. 2, 2003. (source: Double-Tongued Dictionary)
