Who I'd like to meet:

Dedan Kasimu was born and raised in the Bronx, New York and rose along with the hip hop movement. Back in 1996, through Lord Jamar of Brand Nubian, Dedan met a then young rap group called dead prez and rode with them for almost a decade. dead prez would go on to become one of the most controversial, prolific and political hip hop groups of our time. Acting as road manager, he would travel with dead prez across the country and around the world, along with artists like The Roots, Erykah Badu, Outkast and more. As the two main members of dead prez took different directions, Dedan also moved on to working as music editor with Blow Magazine, an innovative print and dvd hybrid magazine. He brought his connections in the entertainment industry to the table and facilitated many interviews with celebrities, major recording artists, professional athletes, and fashion designers. He has now taken it to the next level with his own blog (www.gottaeatworldwide.com) on what’s hot in the streets, along with an online magazine called H.E.R. (High End Reality). He creates original content, provides creative direction and works with a team of writers, designers, video crew and photographers. Under the moniker White Gold, he coordinates and promotes a monthly artist showcase called “In The Mood” with rapper Talib Kweli (Blacksmith/Warner Bros.) and a weekly dance party with legendary deejay/producer The Twilight Tone. With his lengthy experience in the entertainment industry, personal style and ear to the street, Dedan Kasimu is a tastemaker and dedicated to working with all different types of artists. He continues to provide his services in marketing, promotions and event planning. Keeping constant with change,Dedan alongside BreadyFilth & Franc Bacon have formed a dangerous trinity of mastermind you wish you knew got together to give you what you didn't know you needed. Worldwide, but posted up in New York City, this messianic triumvirate got together to break a few laws. Fuck what you thought you knew about music, Megabone mashes the best of electronica, hard funk, dark jungle and offensive hip-hop. Slightly recognizable and deeply mysterious, Megabone's roots are nine feet deep. Bready Filfth is a master architect who's built bombs for two quarters; he can make your life a movie for less than your college tuition. Dedan KAsimu a.k.a. Young Libido stays getting stalked, plus he told your ass to get free or die in the 20th century, it's not his fault if you're still in chains. Franc Bacon's been a night crawling insomniac and emissary of Violent Sex since god created leather. Three warriors for free thought and casual sex, Megabone recently gave you (and the internets) "Vibrator". Hold that til they come thru again. "You're welcome." Im naturally practical. In this lifetime I am bound to Earth. There is no escaping the reality around us. The Earth is about as real as it gets; it can be felt, weighed and it has substance. And me being a capricorn,base my life on what is real, not what is imagined. Sensation is valued over thoughts or feelings. I live with my feet on the ground. Others seek my advice because of my basic sensibility. For me, seeing is believing. The earth is my foundation and structure. It's about having a stable base so I don't build my life on shifting sand... "THUG LIFE" CODE: 1. All new Jacks to the game must know: a) He's going to get rich. b) He's going to jail. c) He's going to die. 2.
