We got an email from one of our favorite MCs and now that the album is out!!! we thought we would share it….it went a little something like this:
I now have two sons and a completed second LP.
I need to write a proper press release but seeing as how I meant to
email you a week ago,
I am going to shoot from the hip — hop!!”
The cover is finished. The MC PAUL BARMAN reflects on the lyrics of BACK ON A WHITE HORSE.
The THOUGHT BALLOON MUSHROOM CLOUD converges the ten incarnations of Vishnu
with my life and this album. Each song title will have a similarly
styled illustrated letter form title
in a print-on-demand book I plan to release in conjunction with the album.
