About Me

I'm writing articles with the passion of Christ. Working on the editorial game for a few rags (catch me in the masthead of Death+Taxes and Mass Appeal). Droppin' ill science on old school graf legend of the double R's, DON ONE.

My Interests

The book "The Evolution of a Cro-Magnon" I edited with my man, John "Bloodclot" Joseph of Cro-Mags fame is gonna drop really soon, so hold ya head! This project was a long haul for the both of us and it's really gonna blow people away....so hold tight. It's just a matter of time! I've really been blessed to be part of it all.
