blood sucker stuck us with this blue ass hostess
no rest for the weary, clearly a hoes gift
sittin on the dock with ofays, sellin my closes
don’t front we all seen the ships comin
only option was, to start runnin or start gunnin
but we ain’t never bared arms
i’m told future holds, 40 acre shared farms
so do the right thing, if Jay can sell a pipe dream
well i could sell a pipe self es-steam

“Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.” The Summer’s New Hit ‘e-book’?

2011-07-22T04:57:00.000-07:00

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

“Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.” The Summer’s New Hit ‘e-book’?

Bronx, N.Y. - Friday (July 22nd, 2011) - It’s summer time in the city of New York and while most every music artist is concerned with putting out a ‘hot’ single to compete with the season’s heat or ‘making some noise’ via an oh so cliche ‘buzz’, one in particular has decided to thread so far left, he’s ends up right. iAreConscious currently in the midst of an ‘indefinite musical hiatus’ releases a free e-book entitled, “Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.”.

With a forward written by Bay-area indie Hiphop vet Sum (The Milky Way band front man) that can be heard online from the e-book’s sign up page, (accompanied by an ever growing Facebook Face-pile) it’s apparent that while the content within may be concise and to the point, the method used to promote this work is a bit more elaborate. A little less Zen.

When asked how the idea came about to author this collection of original quotes iAreConscious states, “I was booked as a guest lecturer at NYU recently and realized I had no new product to share with the audience. I needed a calling card. I wanted to introduce them to something other than my music. People still read you know. Never-mind my mother’s been telling me to write a book for years. How could I not listen to my mom?”

“Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.” is both a literal and figurative journey of sorts for an artist that remains two steps a head of his audience and four to five steps ahead of his musical peers at all times. Perhaps his break from music with applied focus to writing and sharing ideas in this manner will enhance the power of his tunes whenever he decides to return to recording and performing them. Whatever the case may be, one can not deny the genius of this alternative summer campaign to create awareness. Everyone loves a good “quote”.

Help iAreConscious create "The Zoo"

2011-02-13T22:31:00.000-08:00

I'm not big on collaborations and it's not to say that I don't enjoy them, I find great pleasure in creating with others. It's just not always easy to find individuals that are moving musically in similar direction at the same moment enough so that whatever you do end up creating will live up to the potential of both involved.

So I've decided to invite anyone interested in working on something interesting with me to download this instrumental and create something amazing. Something extremely 'different'. Approach it in the most radical way you possibly can.

Create a song over "The Zoo" then send me your version. If I like it and my audience, likes it I will release it officially. (*Create an interesting limited edition tangible product as well as digitally distribute the song. Maybe I'll get sued. And you don't even have to worry about it, because Eklektic Gardens is going to publish it.) I guess you can call it a contest of sorts. The only rule is that you purchase the instrumental. If you do indeed rip the streaming audio your submission will be disqualified.

Good luck!

More details to come about "The Zoo" contest.

Every year ends and begins with something remarkable that we keep in our memory banks until we expire... Tonight parties all over the globe will be buzzing with a new song by NYC Nightlife Maven "TastyKeish" who assumes the name "Brooklyn Dütes"on record.

Invest In The Science Of Sound "Neck On Froze" Digital Release

2010-10-03T13:58:00.000-07:00

<a href="http://thebronxubervillain.bandcamp.com/track/neck-on-froze">Neck On Froze by The Bronx Über Villain</a>

Consider this a relic.

One of the only pieces of audible data, salvaged from the damaged drive that once housed, "The Bronx Über Villaini" LP. This work, an integral fragment of 'sound history' conceived by one mysterious figure the world will soon recognize.

Neck On Froze is available exclusively on Bandcamp.com.
...
It is not on iTunes or the most familiar digital channels for purchase. The "Über Villain" will receive all proceeds for his product directly, so that he may continue his projects of science and make available his findings in the most timely and efficient means.

Science is expensive...

Invest in the science of sound today. Participate in shaping a future filled with innovation that you, have vested interest in. (Be the programmer not the programmed... - Douglas Rushkoff)

The "People's Villain" is engineering new works as you read this.

iBuprofen - (the fotoLAB is DEAD) Tease

2010-08-30T19:42:00.000-07:00

Soon come the single featuring Likwuid & Sumkid. The Carolina's South and North meet for this collaborative effort produced by iAreConscious.

#iBuprofen is the sequel to "We Sort Glass" featuring Sumkid.

The song quite simply is about manifesting what it is in your life that you want to come to be. Taking matters into your own hands. Taking total control of your life. There is no ship coming that you should be waiting to board. If anything learn how to swim and get where ever it is you'd like to be. Fly there if you have to. Train yourself to teleport. It really doesn't matter how. Just get there!

Test Video - Air Wave feat. I Are Conscious Produced by Jinesis

2010-03-24T01:52:00.000-07:00

A video for Air Wave is definitely in the works. This is a test screening of possible elements to be used in official upcoming video.

So what exactly is, 'Smutwrap'?

2010-03-01T22:55:00.000-08:00

If you ask our 'Altered Egos' group S.P.G. they will school you on the equation,

(Cerebral + Explicit ClubRap = 'Smutwrap' aka Sub-Basement Pulse or Electro-Club.

Soon to release their first EP at the end of April, we're making their lead single, 'Pantsag' available for a sexy figure of 69 cents via Bandcamp.com. Yes that magic number sixty-nine, before the songs is widely distributed online. There's no way you're going to get that price on itunes. And you can brag about being one of the first to get a official version long before the full EP is released.

S.P.G. is now on Twitter. Follow them at www.twitter.com/smutwrap

Our Twinterview with TastyKeish...

2010-02-28T01:05:00.000-08:00

Okay we're going to keep it simple. Let's start with flowers, since we're in the garden. What are your favorite ones?

TastyKeish: A boy gave me a lily once and kept it till it was dead dead and gone. Used to be tulips but they're kind of plain now.

So you killed the flowers? Wouldn't take you as the type?

TastyKeish: I didn't kill the lily, capitalism killed it by severing it from the earth to be sold as a slave to my happiness.

Interesting. Is your thumb green at all? Are you a healthy eater? Do you get your fair share of greens?

TastyKeish: I used to have plants but I couldn't stay home and talk to them. I'm an okay eater, balanced without sparing myself.

When you say 'okay' eater, what does that entail? What's your favorite 'healthy' and 'unhealthy' dish?

TastyKeish: I have my moments when I make green juices and others when I only eat Twix bars and Jalepeno Cheetos #okayEater. Anything Asian-ish especially sushi is my fave healthy food my fave unhealthy thing is liking too much of everything.

Sum up 2009? in 140 characters of less?

TastyKeish: 2009: My dreams came true in real-time. I laid the foundation for 2010, and I'm already seeing the dividends. #manfestit!

That's great Keisha. So how do you go about 'manifesting'? Can anyone do it?

TastyKeish: Anyone with strong desire that will work towards it.Faith without works will get you no where. The path will unfold before u.

Spoken like a true guru. So, 5 years on radio. When are you gonna make your way to the small screen?

TastyKeish: As soon as possible. I have things I'm preparing specifically for that and all I'm doing now will count towards the future. I'm trying to #manifestit for 2011 if not earlier.

Sounds good. What about the big screen? That silver one.

TastyKeish: I never really thought about acting cause I enjoy being myself so much LOL. But I'll try anything...

Stand Up?

TastyKeish: I tried official stand up comedy once when I worked at a comedy club I think I was too young for it. I've been told I should try it now...officially.

Skydiving?

TastyKeish: Nope. Black people don't do that off crack #skydiving

What would you say has been your most awkward moment during professional career while you were working?

TastyKeish: Trying something new and failing. I thought I could perform something right out the box and it was terrible. I cried a lot. I couldn't look at that song (wtf was I doing writing a song?) for awhile until a friend put it in perspective.

How'd you get over it? Have you ever gotten over it really?

TastyKeish: I still haven't gotten over it. I haven't spontaneously broke out into song/dance/or rap since then. I have stage fright,it was my nightmare.

For someone so familiar with the stage and being behind the mic on FM radio we find that hard to believe. You're doing it!

TastyKeish: Thanks. That fear drives me to plan my hardest and do my best.

I guess that wraps this lil convo up for now. We've got some pruning to attend to. Any last words?

TastyKeish: I appreciate this late night walk through the field with you. Last words: underestimate me. I dare you...

The pleasure was all ours. You're invited to the garden anytime.
