ASIA: A ghetto emcee, scholar, and revolutionary grappling with the question of whether revolution can occur without violence. A fringe anarchist who is studying the nature of capitalism, communism, socialism and anarchy in an attempt to discover the blueprint for a more harmonious, equitable and "free" society. An adept emcee who weaves politics into her lyrics, she wants more than anything to put her rhymes out and have them transform enough minds to create a "critical mass" of humanity who will create the new society.
POWERS: Freestyling, streetfighting, charisma, de-ciphering codes and systems of information
MISS DISSYA: A ghetto deejay, musical scholar and electronic musician. Her mission is to collect all music of all marginalized peoples, specifically music descended from the African Diaspora, and the disappearing Indigenous World. It is her mission to somehow liberate the airwaves from the steady stream of sex, utlraviolence, and wack music which corrupts the masses.
POWERS: Charm, hypnosis, musical alchemy, psychic warfare, computer hacking
Asia and Miss Dissya live in dangerous times…

SETTING: Post Millennium NYC, sometime in the near future. The hypersexualized and violent masses are being sent to fight the bloodiest war in world history. The war is fought in Mesopotamia under the guise of securing the oil supply which fuels the majority of technology on the planet. Ultimately, this war is supported on both sides by the US and the secret purpose is to drastically reduce the population of non-elites (known as disposdisposables).
The city is breaking down. Most people live in shanty towns. The power elite have taken over all of Manhattan Island. The outer boroughs are forgotten, squalid, and crumbling. The US is run by a corporate megalopolis called Hearchannel (known by the elite as Fearchannel) Hearchannel is working on a plan to colonize Mars and turn planet earth into a garbage planet: a home for waste, refuse, jails, the poor, people of color and all marginalized and criminalized non-elite. Hearchannel is a large clumsy bureaucracy, with so much energy devoted to the development of an outerspace colony, that it is utterly dysfunctional. Hearchannel runs everything outside of Manhattan Island using outdated, archaic and shoddy equipment and methods. Hearchannel corporate managers use FRESH artists as fodder for their mindcontrol system. They steal these artists from the underground and create hypnotic, violent and sexualized songs and videos into which they record a sonic frequency that puts the masses in a trance
There is a small underground who does not listen to mainstream TV or radio enough to be fully entranced. This underground is politicized and loosely organized into bands and tribes. Many of these tribes use homemade, ragtag disguises to rob the elite on excursions to Manhattan Island. Asia and Miss Dissya are a visible part of this underground society. Listeners, followers and supporters of only underground music, the consciousness of this subculture is FRESH and the members are critical of the government, but they do not know the full extent of Hearchannels plan.
And although Hearchannel systematically co-opts artists from this society to avoid a revolution, they are relatively unaware that this very underground will become
a formidable adversary.

TO MY WARRIORS, PROPHETS, PEACEMAKERS AND ANGELS-The evil men for many moons have sought to destroy our kind. They have destroyed our temples, they have burned our books, they have burned our bodies, they have buried us alive, but more than this, they have tried to create a world that makes us irrelevant or so bizarre in the eyes of the masses that we are unable to be seen for what we are. Imagine Jesus the Christ (I am not religious) floating down from the clouds in his promised return - imagine how fucking weird that looks against the plastic castles and poison pools of this world. Would it be broadcast on CNN? All of the "system" is designed to trap the prophets and angels like the sticky threads of a spider web. They have not succeeded. We are more powerful. In the 1970's in the city of New York, an anointed culture resistant to their usual weapons emerged. The holy tribe of Hip hop was born. This ultra modern movement created a bridge between the ancient world and ours. Hip hop gives a context for the resurrection of the old medicine people, ways and warriors. The survival and evolution of humanity is dependent on the health of Hip hop. We who have been called need to give it everything we got!-THE TIME IS NOW, Tsunami
Fish Eye->A STORY-I find myself upon a jagged and rocky PATH in a seemingly barren LAND-My feet are NAKED and I am holding a SACRED infant in my arms, we are wrapped in ONE cloth-From behind a rock a creature neither female nor male, but some kind of ANGEL appears-The creature speaks-"You-mortal woman, what are you doing in this land, you do not belong here?-How did the child come into your HANDS, you did not bare that being?"-I reply-"There are many SECRETS kept even from the Angels-I have long ago stopped asking how I came to be here-It is that I am-This baby is in my care and my arms the child will not leave until our destination reached-You creature should bless my travels and thank THE MOST HIGH you were not chosen-I have known much BLOOD-Now clear the trail-I must MOVE ON-To be continued... SMOKE SIGNALS, Tsunami
