SubliminaLtha7thBorN of PreDestiNatioN
PreDestiNation is a group of extremely prolific lyricists and eMCees. An underground enigma...the group slash vehicle consist of the following: Teflon Poetix, SilentWarz TrainedAssassiN, DeadPooL, L.A.Mental, Xeaja, Qetesh and myself..SubliminaL tha 7th BorN. Other affiliates...eternally linked to Pre-D include: Thought and Thanatos. All of the above names have contributed greatly to the existence of PreDestiNation, its mentality, its movement and most importantly..its music (its main connection). I am PRE-Ds Abbot.
I have decided to create a soundclick page, eventhough I completely despise the internet for various reasons. I prefer doing anything music related in person. But I do like to freestyle online whenever I get the chance. So, here's the page...I'm not sure if I will drop any real tracks that are symbolic of where my penmanship really is. So in other words, anything dropped here will probably be for fun yo. I suppose I prefer to keep me and my group's real material offline for personal reasons.
as far as I go..as an artist.., I have alot of different styles I like to drop. You may come here one day..and peep a political drop (I might have just watched CNN, or been harassed by the pigs, or been networking with some politically active catz anywhere...then expressed some thoughts verbally here), then you might catch me story-telling, then conceptual, then on some basic straight to the point type ish, sometimes simple, sometimes complex, sometimes realistic, sometimes a distorted view of reality is expressed, sometimes poetic, sometimes mellow., sometimes intense, sometimes just plain different..., it just depends on my mood..and present cipher at the time. So leave the generalizations at the door nahmean. And as a matter of fact..the next 2 tracks I'm working on..one is called "A BrieFcase called CIA" ..discussing the importing of drugs by the government into our hoods (more FACTUAL information that you can apply to what you see), then the other track is called "C.O.P.s."..more of a story telling joint nahmean. So stay tuned yo. If this doesn't interest you...go bump that redundant nonsense you find on tv man. I aint here to please you. Regardless....keep ya mind open.
