Recently I was cleaning up my desktop and came across this interview I did for an independent publication from my hometown, QPunx magazine. I’m not sure if it ever ended up being printed? I’m not sure if they’re still going anymore even? I haven’t seen an issue in a long while. Anyhow, I thought I’d [...]

Today’s Hip Hop Insight: “Personally, I don’t like it [mainstream hip hop] and I can’t listen to it all. I can’t stand it but I do have to give respect to the artists that are mainstream because they actually made their dreams come true—I respect that. I can’t stand it but I can’t knock these [...]

US hip hop artist Atma is one of my favourite emcees. I find his pursuit of self, spiritual and ancient knowledge as well as quest for cultivation of peace within inspiring. He believes in and lets the following guide him: love, truth, peace, light, creativity, joy, spiritual, inspire, service, relationship, listen, learn, teach, forgiveness, contentment, [...]

Hip Hop Insight: The volatility of the world has nothing to do with my personal positivity. I read somewhere once that inner peace means being like the still waters at deep sea. No matter how chaotic and tumultuous the raging waves above may become, the water deep beneath remains calm and still, completely undisturbed. This [...]

Today’s thought: To me hip hop is the sound of the people. Everything on earth can be owned by others, property and so on can be owned by the system, the government or the machine NOT art though. Art is and should always be owned by the people and should always speak about and for [...]

Art by SilentAwakening “To me, making a tape is like writing a letter — there’s a lot of erasing and rethinking and starting again. A good compilation tape, like breaking up, is hard to do.” ~High Fidelity. As a teen I’d sit in my bedroom at night and listen to the radio. I’d sit beside [...]

Pharrell by Guerillalove “I’ve come to believe that nothing’s impossible if you can imagine it. There’s nothing new under the sun. When you’re moved, you’re moved, and you should seize the moment to express the feeling. It’s that moment of expression that I define as art.” ~Pharrell. One of my fav hip hoppers and creators [...]
