(Click on storefront under album cover to order via PayPal) ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ...... ...... ..Avatar is proud to be the purveyor of "Thinking Man's Hip Hop", a form of music characterized by deep, thought-provoking lyrics rife with wordplay, double (sometimes even triple) meanings, and utilizing any poetic device at the author's disposal. Delivered in his throaty, barbwire-tinged style, Avatar's lyrics reflect all points of his personal philosophy, from the borderline absurd ("some people shouldn't procreate—if they have to put paper bags over their faces to fornicate") to the abstract ("what if every day was yesterday and there was no tomorrow, and someone handed you a hand grenade you accidentally swallowed"). Known for his maniacal, intimidating stage presence and his barely controllable anger when he's attacking ignorant belief systems, he has undoubtedly earned his place in the Los Angeles underground hip hop scenes with five independent releases under the DumpTruck Records imprint: "Republik", "Double Negative Pt. I: For Lack of a Better World", "Deus Ex Machina" - w/DJ Obi, "Stompbox Graveyard" and, most recently, "Chaos Theory". In 2003, Double Negative Pt. I gained recognition as the Home Grown selection by well-respected record chain Amoeba Music in Hollywood, CA. as well as receiving international airplay and critical acclaim. Coupled with the ubiquitous DJ Obi, "Deus Ex Machina" became a landmark in "Thinking-Man's Hip Hop"—an album so dense in content it warrants several listens to grasp the scope of its importance in today's largely superficial hip hop scene. Avatar has since appeared on numerous L.A. underground hip hop releases, most notably including Akuma's "Eye in the Sky", The Beyonders' "Time Capsule", Bleek's "You're Stupid For Thinking I'm Stupid", and 2007's Ex Vandalz "Docile Takeover Pt. 1: Graffiti Brydge"- a seminal graff/hip hop mastrepiece featuring Prince Po, Rakaa of Dilated Peoples among countless underground luminaries. His forthcoming album "Chaos Theory" produced by Sweden's Dynamo414 promises to be Avatar's best work to date, with mind-shattering lyrics coursing over some serious Scandinavian breakbeat heat. 2009 also showcases Avatar's production skills, as he sits behind the helm for NEILA's "Better Late Than Never" album, an unmistakable force of nature where the latter's sweet pitch-perfect delivery flows effortlessly over Avatar's eclectic beats with guest appearances from Sleep, 2Mex, Awol, Volume Ten, Bigg Jus and many others. Not to be outdone by himself, Avatar is also primed to release the full-length debut from SPEAKEASY with drunken cohorts BLEEK and DJ LIMEGREEN in the summer of 2009. Having embarked on the KILL THE RADIO tour with XOLOLANXINXO, NEILA, ECID, KERS and DJ ESPINFINITI, Avatar hit the road in the Summer of '09 with unmatched intensity. Avatar's unrelenting approach will surely cause a chain-reaction and heighten the consciousness of younger generations involved in the multi-faceted art form of urban music. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. REVIEWS: "Spooky beats and raps to match that aren't devoid of playfulness" - URB Magazine "Unapolagetic lyrics...it's fair to say that Avatar isn't the happiest man on Earth." - UrbanSmarts.com "The flow of his rhymes confidently keeps up with, if not speaks faster than his already quick wit" - Fixins.com "Avatar is basically a lunatic escaped from a nearby asylum who somehow manages to rap on point with such bizarre delivery that you can't help but like him (think Murdoch from the A-Team)"- Rapreviews.com
