About Me

Original pioneer of the Jaded Emcee Crew out of Davis, CA. Knockin fools to the floor since the summer of '99. The crew started with 2 and quickly grew to 10. Some people said we would never last... and they were right. While my days of doing shows are mostly long gone, I still find time to grace the mic every once in a while. Presently, I find myself semi-retired, but it's hard to escape the boom bap. I am still producing and writing some. You can catch some of my latest work on the new Illefficent album "El Rancho Ronin" and Sanjuro's "Seppuku." If you don't get it yet, betta click one of those damn pictures above and learn about it. Keep your ears peeled for new beats. I hope they get out your way...A homonym is a word that sounds like another word but means something else. In other words, this may sound like hip-hop but it's on a whole different level. Industrial Ape comes from being an evolved ape with industrial strength. It is also the name of my home studio.CLICK ON OF THE ABOVE IMAGES TO HEAR SAMPLES AND PURCHASE THE ALBUMS! Support Underground Music!

Influences: Once upon a time on Tralfamadore there were certain creatures who weren't anything like machines. They weren't dependable. They weren't efficient. They weren't predictable. They weren't durable. And these poor creatures were obsessed by the idea that everything that existed had to have a purpose, and that some purposes were higher than others. These creatues spent most of their time trying to find out what their purpose was. And every time they found out what seemed to be a purpose of themselves, the purpose seemed so low that the creatures were filled with disgust and shame. And, rather than serve such a low purpose, the creatures would make a machine to serve it. This left the creatures free to serve higher purposes. But whenever they found a higher purpose, the purpose still wasn't high enough. So machines were made to serve higher purposes, too. And the machines did everything so expertly that they were finally given the job of finding out what the highest purpose of the creatures could be. The machines reported in all honesty that the creatures couldn't really be said to have any purpose at all. The creatures thereupon began slaying each other, because they hated purposeless things above all else. And they discovered that they weren't even very good at slaying. So they turned that job over to the machines, too. And the machines finished up the job in less time than it takes to say, "Tralfamadore." So it goes... Rest in Peace Kurt Vonnegut
