make custom gifts at ZazzleMESSINIAN SHIRTS AND MERCHANDISE NOW AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE!!...Click on the above link to check out the brand new Men's/Women's apparel on www.Zuzzle.com !!.................The above video shows you a night in the life of our worldwide sound. A jam packed night in Beijing, China with my homey on the turntables killin it. Having fun and tearin' the fuckin club up!!! Much love to all the rock stars in the club that night... this video was edited and put together by the Chinese promoters. Nothing but love for Asia!.........The above video is a packed to the gills club night in Taipei, Taiwan ....definitely a slammin' night from February 2007. We love you Taiwan, we'll be back this Autumn. Wooord!Dieselboy w/ Messinian

Add to My Profile | More VideosThe above videos are the intro of a Drum and Bass set from the Virgin Music Festival- August 2007. Me and Dieselboy in a tent with some amazing fucking energy. The first video is me hyping the crowd while the sound engineers were getting the turntables on...once we finally got the ball rollin' it was ill. Good beats, good drinks, good times. Freestyle lyricism and brand new bangin' tunes at one of the biggest festivals of last year... Word!!!The above video is some footage from several tour dates at The LA Sports Arena... A huge festival in Romania .... Vilnius, Lithuania ...and the Virgin Music Festival. My homey J put it together real quick to one of my mixtape cuts "Let Em Know Why"...Dig!!!........The above you tube video is some random tour footage from the 35 date Planet of the Drums Tour I rap on every year featuring AK1200, Dara, Dieselboy, and myself. Insane energy...insane beats...insane fans. Set to a song of mine called "Rock Musik"......The above video was shown at the House of Blues in LA at a performance I couldn't make because I was performing on another tour that night. It was my way of being there when I couldn't for my homies in the TEKDBZ crew. Pretty much a mockery of fan's blurred perceptions of who I am as an artist. I love poking fun at myself so this was fun to make. Good look JoElla, Kate and Craveiro for buggin out with me!......The above video to my house tune "Baked From Scratch" was made by a random fan on the internet and is the best one I've seen. Shit is hysterical.......Worldwide sounds to shake dat Azz!!!!! ................On another note....Unlocal Clothing, 4 CA$T, and INSTRUMENTAL Apparel are dope sponsors that I sport on the constant. They believe in the nonstop debauchery of my music and life... and for that- I forever hold them down. Unlocal is that next shit outta Chi-Town that's definitely on the rise- check it out... 4CA$T has released a redunkulous ODB clothing line and Ghostface Killa Ring and Doll... INSTRUMENTAL comes with the heat for LA with ill clothes and custom sneakers. Check these muhfuckas out. They are the truth.

My Interests

Throwing red paint on people that wear fur coats and writing raps in my boxers. Anything artistic (writing, drawing, painting, photography, animation, production, singing, rhyming, dancing). And...no joke...I will ball you into a dark corner of the universe that you don't want to visit. My crossover made EPMD write a rap song about it.

I'd like to meet:

you. how coincidental.

Music:

Anything hype. Anything beautiful. Anything depressing. James Brown, Beruit, Otis Redding, Bjork, Jimi Hendrix, Chico Cesar, Air, early Misfits, N.W.A... HipHop/Drum and Bass are a strong part of me. Hip Hop is my fucking lifeline. I love little pieces of everything. Music is what helps me wake up every morning and feed my cats and dogs. Hope Sandoval is what I get high and write lyrics to. MOP is what I get drunk and smash shit to.

Movies:

Anything with Gary Oldman, Christopher Walken, and John Malkovich. Add some Tim Burton and David Lynch and sprinkle a little bit Pan's Labyrinth/Life Is Beautiful/ The Goonies and your swimwear is completely in there. Laughing/Thinking is important. Let's shoot the shit about scripts and cinematography.

Television:

Keep it funny or teach me about history,crime scenes, the universe, and fuzzy animals. I like watching people crash and fall off buildings and all that hood shit, too. Weird facts and freak shit is lovely as well. Like whoa.

Books:

Plath, Burroughs, e.e. cummings, Sandra Cisneros,Saul Williams, Pablo Neruda, Chuck Palahniuk, Salinger, Vonnegut... Anything that makes me get that feeling that nothing else in the world matters except what is on the pages in front of my eyes. That is an amazing feeling that is hard for me to get now adays...Also I'll take a side order of kids books and C.S. Lewis/Chris Van Allsburgh type stuff for nostalgic value. I love writing as well. Share poems or raps with me and we'll form like voltron. Roll Ooooout.

Heroes:

If you could blend Jim Morrison with Jimi Hendrix,James Brown, Salvador Dali, Muhammad Ali and Carravaggio and have them make sweet, passionate whoopee to a ghetto trick that was a blend of Cleopatra, Sylvia Plath, Audrey Hepburn, Lee Miller and Joan of Arc until a little seed popped out...and have that seed raised from birth by a voracious pack of wolves, but wind up being found at the age of 10 under a ancient temple's front pillars and taught martial arts by shao lin monks, that...and only that...FUCKING GOLDEN CHILD would be my ultimate hero. I would sweat that muhfucka. On some "poster on my wall with a candle lit under it" shit. Like some Long Island bitch in the eighties with the New Kids .
