Just about the fact that we all tend to over analyze songs.

Leaving Normal Leaving Normal

this is just a pre-mix of the title track from the new album. I'm going to re-record once I know the lyrics better. then I'll be doing all the finishing touches on it, ie. samples during the hook, and effects, etc.

Alternative Hip Hop

Just moved to Kelowna from Red Deer Alberta. I'm a leftfeild, experimental hip hop artist. I also DJ hip hop, breaks and dnb. I used to run an indie recording studio back in AB and now I'm here (at least for a couple years). Used to be on soundclick back home but cancelled it because I got sick of all the bs going on in that town.
Band/artist history
Started a crew in the early 1990's called The Blizzard Extortion. we all ended up going our seperate ways (musically). Me and Grub (aka Rapamatics) started recording and performing together. We later formed a group called X-Tnt. Which later inducted DJ DarXide (of -403), DVS, R.O.B, Seany-L (aka Jeasus mics), T-Dawg. Did a number of shows and recordings. We all went our seperate ways for various reasons but remain tight today. Formed DPS with Seany-L (Jeasus mics) and P-Eurf. Was short lived but fun. All the while I've recorded my solo efforts. Now I'm here in Kelowna to go to school for Audio Engineering.
