My man Hellfish produced the tracks up now, but he's been busy of late, so I've been doing a little self-producing. I recently found a vet in the LA music scene who's hooking me up with some other talented folks, as soon as this is more official I'll throw up info on my collaborators.
Influences: I don't like to cite influences--I prefer to list "inspirations".... so here are some of em:
(in no particular order): Blackalicious, Lyrics Born & Lateef, Sage Francis, DJ Shadow, Danger Mouse, Mos Def, Dead Prez, Jurassic 5, Outkast, Public Enemy, Digable Planets, Pharcyde, The Roots, Slug, Sole, Alias, Del, Souls of Mischief, Digital Underground, De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Black Sheep, KRS-One, Wu-tang, Kool Keith, Organized Konfusion, Aceyalone & the Fellowship, 2Mex & Visionaries, Shapeshifters, Living Legends, LA Symphony, Ice Cube, Cypress Hill, Beasties, and a WHOLE lot more...
oh, and then there's Beck, Prefuse 73, RJD2, Boards of Canada, Squarepusher, Modest Mouse, Bjork, Eels, Soul Coughing, PM Dawn, G Love, Primus, Nirvana, Jane's Addiction, Pixies, Rage against the machine, Fugazi, Thelonius Monk, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Dave Brubeck, Bob Dylan, The Beatles, David Bowie, Tom Waits, Wierd Al, and WAY TOO MANY more to name--infuriating, isn't it?
Props to all the DJs and friends who ever introduced me to any of these
and about a billion more

Sounds Like: If it's out there, I haven't heard it... Maybe like a kind of positive-political-philosophical-analytical-socially conscious-humanistic-type material, clever-revolutionary-concerned with upliftment, but still shakin glooty maximuses to contentment
