music is freedom

About Me

Currently living in South Korea, Seoul for an undetermined amount of time. Anyone down to work, and I mean anyone, with a cat from TDot in Seoul, send me a message. Advocates of the dirty south 808 bullshit hop need not apply. So here goes for an introduction:Most people like to write up their own bio's in the third person and exaggerate the details of their music career on myspace. As a good old friend put it, "it's a meat market of a website" and I couldn't be more in agreement.I'm not the type to give you a fictionalized piece about how I started rapping, exaggerate my socio-economic status, boast about the shows I've done, or who I'm affiliated with or have beef with in the scene. I do not wish to involve myself with petty industry politics, sickening self adulation and fakery. I just want to make music and do me.This is me, Jeriko, for 9 years with the same name rapping and creating. Those years have been a roller coaster ride with many dips and builds; at times I've been over confident and recently extremely arrogant. At times I've been humble, naive then cynical, depressed, contemplative and satisfied. It's life, and I put it in my work. If music is not an expression of the true self, then it shouldn't be bothered with or attempted. If music only represents the surface then we are lacking the shovels to dig to its and our cores.I am of the opinion that we live in a civilization based on lies, very deep rooted and elaborate lies that are perpetuated intentionally and are pervasive. Accepted standards are predicated on these non truths, that may seem valid, but are unjust, hold little truth and are amoral. I thus take it upon myself to photograph reality as I see it with my words, and induce it through the beats I make.Thats it. No large crew, no marketing, no finances, no fan club, no official website, no bullshit and no album(yet). I'm just a Korean born in Toronto living in Seoul with an archive of rhymes and beats doing my thing.Peace
