About Me

Born in a dictatorship, raised by an empire, influenced by revolution, touched by the suffering.------------Lagos-London-Manchester-Nu Delhi------------Its not easy writing a bio, in fact its near impossible since all you can do is big yourself up. I am this, i am that - bullshit. I can't judge my accomplishments at all, this isn't a sign of ultra-humility but simple reality. I see people on myspace saying they're this and that, which is great for marketing purposes but on a deeper level you're literally selling yourself and before you know it - blam!! - you sold out!Haha, I love contradicting myself and this webspace is a perfect example. I believe music should be shared, discussed and debated and this is THE platform for it. We've all got a story to tell, tell it in metaphor, tell it in rhythm, rhyme, strings, verses - whichever format you can express yourself in - Im ready to listen, love and respect. -------------Hip hop and poetry is my format. I grew up in a place where military coups were the norm, burning bodies were street furniture and 40% of the population lived(lives) on 1 dollar a day---------That didn't give me mental scars, it left me with a hole in the heart-----------Lets use music to make a differencePeace1Vokabulist
