"PRESS SUMMARY"

Broke featured in the Felon Five by <a href="http://www.houseofnubian.com/IBS/SimpleCat/Shelf/ASP/Hierarchy/0202.html">Felon Magazine</a>

Broke gets a shout out in the latest <a href="http://www.elementalmag.com">Elemental Magazine</a>.

www.consciousbootleggers.com:
Brokendomer sounds like Paul Barman meets Max Headrom with voice correction as he brandishes his Machine In Your Station. No this is not a wordy village voice review or a homo-erotic statement, it's just the title of a very creative Alto-Hop EP. Machine In Your Station seems like a metaphor for the Broke emcee’s unfiltered thoughts entering you mind, whether you want them to or not. With a cool production style and a voice that's clear, any listener with an open mind and twenty-four minutes - fourteen seconds will enjoy his brand of conscious commentary. Maybe one day broke with do an alternative Hiprock album, until then your station is just not a station till Broke's machine is in it.

"brokendomer - DO YOU COPY?"

Artificial Intelligence
I'm paranoid as a motherfucker, man. I started bumping an underground release from a group called brokeNdomer this week, entitled "Do You Copy?" As soon as I got into it, for some crazy reason all I could think about was the last Terminator movie. Not one, or two quite as much, but definitely three. I peeped it one night, followed of course by the first Matrix, and started thinking about the possibilities of computers and machines taking over.

Then a couple days ago I saw some crazy shit on TV: A humanoid robot made by Honda that can apparently do things on its own stuff like running, delivering a tray and pushing a cart. They call it ASIMO and it's pretty big ... four feet tall with a muscular frame, broad shoulders and shit. Kinda intimidating.

And I ain't gonna lie, man, from the looks of it, ASIMO could probably whip my ass. Then serve beverages to the spectators. All of a sudden, I'm a little freaked by this Artificial Intelligence thing. I keep looking over my shoulder for Arnold or Agent Smith coming around the corner.

Remember in Terminator 3 when the machines were getting ready to fuck us up, and old dude and his girl were scrambling around trying to figure out what to do? Or in Matrix 3 when they were looking up waiting for the huge army of Sentinels to bust through the roof? brokeNdomer has this unique spooky-futuristic type of sound that makes me think of the machines quietly preparing to attack. And it consistently yet progressively introduces more humanistic interludes on most tracks. As if the two are battling against each other, with the humanistic vibe struggling for a voice amongst the mechanical backdrops in a metaphoric man vs. machine match up. Their lyrics also follow suit, throwing verbal jabs at concepts such as technological globalization, media control and the often hopeless and disconnected routine of daily life that they may cause. A great independent underground release.

Adaptive Consciousness
I read this book called Hip-Hop & Philosophy last year, and one of its chapters talked about something called the theory of adaptive consciousness. Adaptive consciousness is the idea that human beings possess some kind of unconscious state that we use during the repetitive and boring parts of our lives. You wake up in the morning, and unconsciously shower, get dressed, eat breakfast, drive to work, whatever. You basically just float through your daily routine. The book compares it to putting an airplane on auto-pilot. I don't know, man, but it seems like all this technology that surrounds us is just allowing our adaptive conscious to take over larger portions of the day.

We're creating universal remote controls and high definition TVs in our pimped out rides; exercise-for-you machines and fat loss speed pills; bite-sized computer cellular camera phones and bodybuilder humanoid robots ? and then cats like me get clowned on for rocking the old-school Nokia and having a beer belly. Before you know it, nothing could be worth doing ourselves anymore. We could have a little program or machine to do everything for us, and our adaptive conscious will be able to get us through the majority of our entire lives. Like zombies just floating through the motions.

I guess some people are looking forward to that. But even more are terrified by it, and Domer and the Broke MC give a perfect lyrical and music-based description of this type of ideology. While improvements in technology and media may make our lives easier in certain aspects, they can also create a sense of disconnection from our natural human attraction to nature and activity, which can lead to feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness.

That's why its good to get out at night and holler at chicks. Change your schedule a little. Take a walk to the park. Shit, come out to the CO and do some snowboarding you can stay on my couch homie. Check out a local hip-hop show. And if you're in the NYC area, check out a brokeNdomer and their crew. I guarantee it will be a great break from your daily routine.

C'mon ASIMO!
And for that Honda humanoid robot it was a joke. You ain't shit, punk. I got my eye on you. I know your weaknesses. Don't think I won't bite an ear, either. Walk over at your 2.7 kilometers per hour and you'll be limping back at around 1.4 son. Peace. - HipHopLinguistics.com

"do you copy? by brokendomer"

Brokendomer's newest release, Do You Copy?, is one of the most unique records you'll hear this year. Rock drums slam underneath glittering glitchy melodies, while brokeMC and Domer weave tongue-twisting tales of technology and torment. The songs are subversively catchy and unsettlingly upbeat, capturing the yin-and-yang relationship of frustration and excitement that permeates our modern lives.

Domer's production is one-third Prefuse 73, one-third Radiohead and one-third... well... Domer. Lyrics range from lightheartedly goofy to heartbreakingly poetic (sometimes all within the same verse) and the guest spots showcase some of New York City?s most creative cohorts, including Stronghold Crew/Creative Juices Music?s L.I.F.E.Long, Embedded Music?s Bisc1, and Vinyl Junkies Crew?s SumKid. A group known for endless freestyles and punk-rock intensity at live shows isn?t always easy to capture on record, but this album feels damp with the sweaty late-night ciphers that they built their rep on.

Domer's beats have been featured internationally on NikeBasketball.com as well as national TV commercials and short films. The Broke MC is an award-winning poet gaining rapid notoriety in New York's underground rap scene. His underground hit "Not Again" (available on the MINDSpray compilation A Shot in the Dark) was featured as an editor's pick in Elemental Magazine. As members of the MINDSpray Crew, the minds behind the massive underground Falldown parties and the creators of the up-and-coming mobile media company Battletones.com, there is no question that Brokendomer?s future is looking bright.

The message is clear. The only question is... Do You Copy? - pulserated.com

Bio

Brokendomer have spent the last three years in NYC electrifying crowds with an unclassifiable mix of electro-punk, hip-hop, and indie-pop. Whether creating beats live on a laptop, rapping over music from a gameboy, or just rocking the crowd with incredible off-the-head freestyles, Brokendomer destroy traditional ideas of what hip-hop is and create a party anywhere they play.

Brokendomer is the blanket name for two artists: BrokeMC and Domer. Their individual solo efforts as well as their work as Brokendomer and with the MINDSpray crew have built them a strong fanbase in the Brooklyn scene. In addition to throwing the giant Falldown parties with Embedded Music's Bisc1, the MINDSpray Open Mic, and the monthly Style Factory at the Knitting factory, Brokendomer tour the east coast from Florida to Toronto. They are the founders of the new battle-rap ringtone company Battletones.com.

Domer’s beats have been featured internationally on NikeBasketball.com as well as national TV commercials, and his songs are currently being featured on web commercials, podcasts and indie radio stations all over the world. The Broke MC is an award-winning poet gaining rapid notoriety in New York's underground rap scene. His underground hit ‘Not Again’ (available on the MINDSpray compilation ‘A Shot in the Dark’) was featured as an editor’s pick in Elemental Magazine.

Brokendomer's newest album DO YOU COPY? is currently being featured on PulseRadio.com, MusicForAmerica.com, FreeHipHopNow.com and many others.
