About Me

Welcome to the online world of The Catalyst...aka "Quin Diesel". I'm a long time New York emcee who recently got into production because I got sick of talking so much. Now, thanks to the wonders of technology, I'm playing with sound and learning to communicate without words. The songs up are just a glimpse of what I'm working on. People have always told me I'd be famous. As far as I'm concerned, I already am. Peace to you & yours. Hope u feel the music:)

"The Positive Always Beats The Negative"

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 12/20/2004
Band Members: I'm a one man wrecking crew, but I'm open and willing to work with just about anyone. However, if you spend more time bitching about life than living it, go bark up another tree. And if you're some fake thug "emcee" out to tell the world how tough you are, don't bother. That shit's juvenile like t-shirts that hang past the knees.

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Let me start by stating the obvious: the Chili Peppers are the best big rock band of our generation. Tool and Radiohead are better artistically, but when it comes to rock stars, RHCPs take the top spo...

Beck

So I went to see Beck at the Garden on Wednesday night. Not the full Garden, the theater in the Garden. I'd never seen a show there. It holds a few thousand people. I went with Jenny, Ann, and Vick af...

A Tribe Called Quest w/ Rhymefest, Consequence, & The Procussions

Okay, first of all, this show was in the middle of fucking nowhere. The Starland Ballroom is on a dead quiet road across from a VFW in Sayreville, NJ. My girl and I thought we were lost at one point. ...
