i am the absence, the sole remaining member of The Clockwork Kids. this crew is 100% innovative and fully capable of destroying any of your idiot friends who claim to "rap".
Why this name?
i didn't choose the name, the name chose me.
Do you play live?
back when Clockwork Entertainment first started out in 2001, we played a few venues in San Diego, and freestyled on a few street corners. nothing fancy.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
it allows people like you to steal our music. oh, and now i can hear the moans coming through from the porn i stream.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
nah, i doubt it. i'm perfectly happy being contracted in Clockwork Entertainment; i get free Big Gulps at 7-11 with the deal.
Band History:
this is pretty much just a solo project now...i attempted to rebuild my crew to no avail, so f*** all those who jumped on and just got swept off the deck...i'll manipulate microphones by my lonesome. currently i'm collaborating with an artist known as Mind Frame...you can hear him on one of my newer tracks, though it's just a first take...
Your influences?
slug. cannibal ox. craig mack. miles davis. copywrite. dspiize. ixion form. atmosphere. rhymesayers entertainment. mac lethal. the absence. boom bip. anticon. the dynospectrum. alias. dose one. the lioness. aesop rock. vakill. jakki da motamouth. living legends. the grouch. eligh. murs. i self divine. the micranots. grayskul..oldominion...esthero...DJ Krush...bjork (sad, i know..)...
