Agents of Change

SUCKA FREE!

About Me



Political/satirical/mind-opening hip-hop from Chicago. Our main priority is spreading a positive/progressive message through our art form, and maybe affect some change through our music. We do music because that is what we know and love.

We're just trying to get your to think for yourself instead of buying into all the bullshit propaganda out there. Educate yourself, don't just be a ostrich with your head in the sand. You don't have to agree with our ideas or understandings, but at least form some of your own.

Oh, and we thought 50 Cent sucked before The Game started all that "G U-Not" shit...

Our new CD PEACE IN THE MIDEAST, REST IN THE MIDWEST is out now on Death to Boyle! Records. You can download it through downloadpunk.com or buy it through us here:
$6 ($1 shipping included)

Influences: Hip-hop, punk, folk...fuck it, we could probably name something we are influenced by from any musical style. Anything that’s got some heart and soul left in it.

In more blunt terms, the monotony of suburbia, the lowest-common-denominator bullshit that is spewed from unconsenting stereos across the globe, the white devil, drugs (too many or too few?), and this quote from politcal speaker Michael Parenti:

"You don’t know you’re wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day."

We’re sponsored by No Sweat:

Sounds Like: A desperate attempt at waking people up from their own delusional state, & thus getting them to realize that the only way to make any sort of change is through actions not just thoughts.
Record Label: Not unless they let us say what we want.
Type of Label: None
