About Me

The Backwards Ninja is from NY but lives in CA. Crackaspicwop is from CA but lives in NY. They each live in opposite ends of the state where the other was born -- a metaphorical map for their collaborative powers. These songs were recorded in bedrooms and living rooms and bathrooms and 'real' studios. Drink more coffee until you see it like us.Microphone Hippie spit positive and cathartic lyrics that tease hip hop cliches yet maintain “street credibility” via authentic rhythm and tonal skills. Riiiight?On the surface, these songs are about Karate Kid/Mr. Miyagi, zombies, coffee, tea, treadmills, puppets, toys, make-believe franchises, crappy jobs. On a deeper level they're... about the same things. If you go just a little bit further, they touch upon self-empowerment, motivation, spirit, fear, journeys, change, judgment, obstacles, imagination, and more coffee.If we've missed anything please tell us. We'd like to hear your take -- thanks son, ma, dude, bro, mofo, etc.'Change has come to America'
