Bio
BIO
What I did or did not do in the past is of no real consequence. However, suffice it to say I made music - albums and singles - for many years. Engaged in lot of sexual healing. Raised a family. Got drunk on far too many occasions. The time period between the first photo (young man) and the second photo (older man LOL) is about 30 years , During this period I have experienced the normal joy and heartbreak of living but sadly it seems to me that world has become a far meaner place. We have just left the century of blood - the greatest blood letting the world has ever known. It has not stopped but continues to flow right into the 21st century.
MY MUSIC
So I write no more songs of love and heartache, or about bitches, blunts, Bentleys and bullshit. I want my tracks to move you and groove you but at the same time I want those tracks to make you think; make you laugh; make you mad, make cry. But most of all make you think (while you're moving)
I want my music to help raise the consciousness of the listener to the problems of the world. My music does not offer solutions. Although I do maintain that the most profound profound changes can be effected not by the bullet, nor by the ballot, but by the BOYCOTT - an ECONOMIC BOYCOTT. I want my music to remind you that in war the common folk suffer and die so that the rich and greedy corporate WAR PROFITEERS can grow RICHER. These WAR PROFITEERS get fatter by selling the bombs, missiles, munitions, bombers and fighter planes that are used to flatten basically defenseless countries and then by gaining huge government contracts worth billions of dollars to rebuild the country that was just destroyed. These WAR PROFITEERS make literally TONS OF MONEY destroying and rebuilding. We are talking about hundreds of billions of dollars. And your sisters and brothers, your fathers, sons, grandsons and yes, your mothers, are killed and maimed in these countless wars for nothing. FOR ABSOLUTELY NOTHING BUT EXCESSIVE PRIDE, ARROGANCE AND CORPORATE GREED !!!! The real fighters often gain nothing but a dirt blanket or a broken soul.
Back to my music:
The song IF HE COULD STEAL ALL is about greed and hypocrisy in high public office.
The song GOD's TEARS ARE FALLING addresses the horror and tragedy of war, particularly how it affects children.
The song DON'T WANNA DIE FOR A LIE WOULD YOU? - weapons of mass destruction - what a lie. The cost: thousands of lives on one side and hundreds of thousands of lives on the other side.
The song WE SUFFER RULE OF FOOLS is self explanatory - I hope! KILL'EM OR JAIL'EM deals with the plight of young black and Hispanic males in the USA, in particular, and of people of color around the world in general. Sometimes I think many this country ask the question. Are people of color worth the dirt they walk on?
CHOKIN' (I think your brain is broken) - listen you'll know who!!
EL-CIDS'S VIEWS
THE MOST IMPORTANT WORD ON THE STREET IS RESPECT. NIGGAS WILL DIE FOR IT - WHITE AND BLACK. BUT HOW MUCH RESPECT DO YOU HAVE AS A SLAVE ON A PRISON PLANTATION OR AS A HATED DEAD MAN LAYING IN THE DUST OF A FOREIGN LAND.
PEACE FROM MY HEART TO HE WORLD - El-Cid
