About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

It’s hip hop, it’s fundamental lyrically, electronicish on the production tip. it’s fresh and breezy and friendly. it’s alright i guess. on the plus, it isnt complacent. it tries it’s best to be transparent and honest and for the most part lighthearted. it says, with perfect enunciation, "let’s have some good old fashioned wholesome FUN, party people!" and it means every word of it.The Proletariat LP is vailable online at www.undergroundhiphop.com for the hard copies or iTunes, eMusic.com, napster, yahoo music, or any other online digital music distributor.this great robot picture came from the fiercely creative mind of sam brown who can be found at WWW.EXPLODINGDOG.COM ...by the way. cool-school geek-rap backpack weird-core the mixtape is DEDICATED TO RYAN "SHREW" SCHROEDER AND NATHAN "XLACKS" FOERGER

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 5/5/2005
Band Website: i got rid of the old one, myspace works better
Band Members: tupac
Influences: when everything slows down, and we all take a deep breath. it all settles to the bottom. we can see where it all lies. ambitions, tasks at hand, tasks at a groping reach away. tasks that demand travel, through other tasks, worries, dreams, responsibilities, basic necessities, and complex analysis. a few steps could take a lifetime. or not. my life, and the action of 'living' therein, boils down to two thick sediments. plans. necessities. the latter is a hurdle, while the former flees me. even the thought of the whole matter drowns me in a hopelss futility. i begin to sink. i'm so tired. it's when i find my rest in Jesus that i begin to float. i know this is true. even still, i allow myself to crumple under it all. i'm tied down by my own knots. i can untie them if i wished, but who knows what goes beyond all this, these dreams i dream quietly. if not this music, this outreaching into a misty nimbus, grabbing at angel's ankles to pull them down and force knowledge out of them, the very sharing of knowledge, of gospel - "good news, Jesus is alive!", then what is there at all? what would i do otherwise. go to school? learn? work. perhaps it has to be music, i'm all in as is, soaked from head to toe, and i left my towel a far way away. all that, dear reader, that's today speaking. things are different some days. it feels an awful lot like wind chasing today though.
Sounds Like: Like a cluttered mind shooting the breeze with a 21 gun salute.
Record Label: DONT BELIEVE THE HYPE IF IT'S NOT ABOUT ME...
