This date is extremely significant in that it marks not only the release date of "The Magnificent Mutant: Volume 2", but also my return to the studio to continue recording for my next project, "Post-Apocalypse". It has been a long journey to this point, toward the end of a year plagued by pneumonia and a nearly complete loss of vocal production. Although I am sure there are many who would have rejoiced in this outcome, yet I will tell you, in no way will I give up so easily. I simply had to remember how far…Read more

Sure the future has yet to be conquered, at least in the physical realm, but we can go back in time through imagery and footage captured in the past.  Any good picture from a time long ago is an instant transportation device, giving us a glimpse of something otherwise inaccessible to us.  Motion pictures can do the same, however, similarly to the vision of a movie or theater production, it tends to be more of an interpretation by a director and actors, rather than your vision of what might have just…Read more

  For anyone who has ever thought back to times when the future was just an inescapable inevitability of accomplishment, only to find that it is in fact only what you make of it, here is what I have learned.  Destiny is ever-changing and in order to meet it, you must also be adaptable to be able to thrive, yet even survival can be filled with pain and sorrow as you forge ahead.  Never forget, this is life and there is no tomorrow, yesterday is only a memory and today is slipping away with each breath.  But…Read more

I know it has been a long time and it pains me to think about it when I can't avoid it.  I think there are times in everyone's life when their dreams take a backseat to their reality.  It isn't pleasant and often feels quite depressing, but it is an inevitability we cannot ignore.  We have to fight for our dreams, they will not just rest on our shoulders and make themselves obvious when we have dreamed long enough.  I had to come to this realization once again as I break out of this 2+ year slumber.  There…Read more

You assume that rhyme and reason are defined by god and heaven. Nature and science are based in rhyme and reason, not fantasy and fable. No one knows what happens after death and to proclaim to is nothing more then speculation based on superstition and fear. The mind is more powerful then you give it credit for and just as people see jesus in a piece of toast there are those conditioned to see "heaven's gates" in a moment of massive trauma. I have heard this explained by both religion and science in various…Read more

I feel the from the energy of the sky above down to the tips of my damaged nerve endings as it courses through my arms and enters my hands. From there, it singes the tips of my fingers as I strike each key of ivory. Thus begins the quest to conquer another distant land. These are the backdrops and the settings of wondrous things and fantastic adventures. The paths carved out from wastelands breathe life into a dead soul and bring forth a life force unseen until this very moment in time. The days of…Read more

This just in, Chicago rapper Etare Neged has defied death yet again, this time surviving an extremely rare form of cancer: nasopharyngeal (the demon) carcinoma. Diagnosed during Thanksgiving of 2002 after a multitude of tests and examinations, he underwent 4 months of rigorous treatment culminating in 8 weeks of intense radiation therapy to the head, neck and face. At several points treatment became so intense that his flesh began to melt away, causing a number of complications, which left him clinging to…Read more

You can check out any of my songs or chronicles to find out what I am about, but in a nutshell, I am about opening minds to discover an alternate reality. Too many of us are following the paths set for us by others whether they be in the government, religion, society at large and I think more of us need to carve our own paths and discover what the world has to offer. I believe in absorbing everything around me and formulating my creed on a combination of all, instead of being shackled into one mode of…Read more
