About Me



NOT4PROPHET + DJ JOHNNY JUICE ARE X-VANDALS
The two Uptown/Underground rebels known as X-vandals are street saviors from the slums, gutter gods from the ghetto, and poor mans prophets from the projects; and just might be the musical messiahs you've all been waitin' and anticipatin' for. With their debut release, The War of Art, they have crafted, created and RICANstructed a truly incendiary and incite-full, dangerous and danceable, modern-day militant music made and played to move theMasses.
The War of Art is a semi-autobiographical real(ity) Bronx (fairy) tale of two city's in a time of terror(ism). The 13 songs on this volatile act of vandalism utilize sonics, soul and spit to tell (of) a conceptual culture-shock story of struggle, stealth and survival, straight from somewhere/anywhere in the streets of El Barrio, Babylon or both and beyond and on....

Band Members: Not4Prophet of Ricanstruction and DJ Johnny Juice of Public Enemy are X-Vandals. Not4prophet was born in Ponce, Puerto Rico and raised on the streets of East Harlem and the South Bronx, NYC. As a teen-ager he was homeless, and (then) a squatter, surviving the american system through stealth, stealing and subversion, while passing the time by scrawling on private property and throwing stones (that the builder refused) through chain store windows. He went on to form(ulate) and front the underground anti-corporate political punk/hip hop/salsa/reggae fusion band known as RICANSTRUCTION and later founded the outlaw art and agitation collective called RICANSTRUCTION NETWERK.DJ Johnny Juice is a NuyoRican who was born and raised in the Bronx, NYC, and witnessed the birth of Hip Hop right on his doorstep. The boogie down bred Turntablist/B-Boy/Graffitti writer, first displayed his break dancing skills at the age of 14 in the mid '80s classic Hip Hop film Beat Street, and by the time he was 17 he was working with Public Enemy as a member of the Bomb Squad on their debut release Yo Bum Rush the Show and their classic album It Takes a Nation of Millions to Hold us Back. Over the years he has also lent his production and scratching skills to projects by other legendary Hip Hop artists such as Slick Rick, Doug E. Fresh, The Beastie Boys, DMC, LL Cool J and Leaders of the New School.
