Revolutionary Hip Hop Artist Declares Spiritual War by Spiritualhiphop.info

after countless months of pondering and intense introspection, i have came to the conclusion that i am moving to portland, oregon at the end of july. my associate and confidant, Joe Cyrus, f.k.a. Pluto, moved to portland last summer, and since has sung the city's praises.

so if you live on the west coast, squaller at me and give me the sitrep. if you live on the east coast, i bid thee adieu and offer you thanks. i'm not saying i'll never be back, but i have a feeling this is just the beginning of something much greater.

wellis.

ps - i plan on stopping at a slew of national forests and parks with camera gear in tow.. so expect a bunch of new prints and videos.

Click on the album cover below to download the compilation album put together by El*A*Kwents for free distribution on SpiritualHipHop.info. Features tracks from a bevy of people, including myself, el*a*kwents, joe cyrus fka pluto, and more.

it was a mild may night on the susquehanna river when we anchored our boat off of the world famous three mile island in search of the illusive channel catfish. cloaked in the heavenly fragrance of nag champa, we had 2 sticks burning at the bow and stern of the boat, we, my cousin and i, looked up to an ever expanding night sky and spoke of how life has changed.

while we were using rudimentary methods to catch fish, a pole, some line, a reel, some hooks and some hotdogs, scientists inside of TMI, not 100 yards from us, were splitting atoms to create "cheap energy". fishing, a source once used for an individual's food procurement and survival, has now essentially been relegated to a recreational activity. While splitting atoms, an idea inconceivable only 100 years ago, is now necessity.

but why do the majority of people only fish for recreation? is it because of the unsafe level of contaminants present in almost every major body of water? is it just easier to get your fish from walmart?

and why do we feel the need to erect nuclear reactors to generate electricity? is it because it's "cleaner" than fossil fuels? it is because it's cheaper than fossil fuels? is it because there are no other viable energy sources in which to harness? is it because we carelessly consume energy as a society which requires us to seek out greater methods of energy production? is it because we as a society are afraid to take responsibility for our own survival? or perhaps it's just another example of big business consolidating and controlling the resources.

regardless of the answers and opinions the facts remain. we as a society, a global community have abandoned our roots. aside from our language, most of us have no cultural identity. kids in asia wear the same brands of jeans and eat the same type of fast food as children in the americas and europe. i am not judging the effects of globalism, merely stating that most of us have no idea how we got here. we are only concerned with the future and it's illicit technology. most of us could give a damn about the interconnectedness of life, exhibited in the present moment, as well as it's transgression through time.

just remember this, just because this is how it is, doesn't mean it's how it's always been or will always be.

this album marks the 4th official release of yours truly. i produced the entire album, mixed the entire album and featured no guest vocalists. gard, from gard on duty productions, helped me lay some bass lines as well as mastered the album.

essentially the album is the transgression of the manifestation of change, at least that was my intent. so please take the time to download it and listen.. you may need more than one to understand the totality of the album.

if you are wondering why i only released an EP.. no, it's not because i am lazy.. well at least not in relation to music, it's because the idea was crystallized in 5 tracks. if i were to have done more, the album wouldn't have been as concise.

so if you download this album, thank you.. and if you like this album, tell others to download it and share it. mp3's aren't the problem, they are the equalizer.
