12/23/16 

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

Rhyme and Reason 

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.

Got hit by a car in a…Read more

Rapper Survives Cancer, Defies Death Yet Again 

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
