The PhilosoFists

About Me



The PhilsoFists are an ever evolving collective of musicians who strive to create positive, original hip-hop. Headed by Minnesnowta native Ink Well both lyrically and on the production side, they are steadily gaining a foothold on the national underground scene. This site is dedicated to fans of the group and fans of elitist hip-hop in general. All the songs and instrumentals posted on The PhilosoFists myspace page are prereleases in the unmastered form. The final mixes will be available for purchase soon. Collaborators welcomed. Enjoy!
