From Anaheim to Atlanta with stops to Miami, up to the coast of N.Y,through Missouri and Kansas, down south to Dallas and back from Las Vegas, there's still Denver and the entire Mile High City, so ask Burse where the love is and it's apparent you'll know. The journey he's had to take to get there is long and full of empty promises from EMI,TVT Records, Interscope Records, Universal Records and the now defunct Roc-A-Fella, it proves to be longer.
