WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT??:
I am white I am spite I am all of your fears and your dreams partying together in the night with the lights off I take the blights off I am the sights that you scoffed at in your unknowing uncaring unconscious blissful sleep of the pissed on skeet or whatever your pleasure take your measure against my feather tipped pen I am not afraid of the nether I weather the storm whether the tethers have the strength to tie me down or not I plot against what I am not and what I should have been still aware that I am more than the average Joe no hos populate my jolly rhymes just shovels and troubles
I am crime coalesced into sixteen lines on a once pristine page converted to rage perverted to sage and ageless wisdom reflected through the prism of my triangular mind all seeing all knowing gall flowing growing forever never severed from my Id I skidded with Sid I hid from my Nancy bidding on fancy words to disguise my inner demons searching for a corresponding light in the darkness of this heartless wilderness the unending teatime of the soul rolled together amidst a few green leaves with a few mean bees stinging my conscience bringing me back into my sense of right and wrong fenced in by a song bonging my nightmares into pipe dreams ripe seams splitting unwitting yet aware of the careless beings seeing me as I'm freeing me from the confines of this limited vessel that is our prison on this schismatic schematic given to us one time to live as we see fit sick as it is I shudder and skid to a halt defaulting on the predetermined gestalt salt of the earth please appease my palette show me the way.....
WHO AM I?
International Criminal is insane, he lost his mind somewhere along the way between the past and the present from rock to rap he/I does/do not care for hip-hop and it's restricting conventions I/we/us are on a journey from somewhere in the distant past into an unknown future, leave your preconceptions at the door, this dancefloor has no space for racist ideals neither black not white nor yellow nor purple we are the future learn from the past cast your demons into the pit cleanse with fire I will brave the waves of this enslaving sea unhomed craving gloaming....alone...??
INTERNATIONAL CRIMINALSolo album pretty much finished, just needs a few touches, to be released sometime next spring I hope. I know the date keeps movin back, we're just waiting for Phoney Tapes to get off the ground, once that's a go, the album will be in stores immediately.
PROJECTS/COLLABS
DJ PHONEY WITH INTERNATIONAL CRIMINAL
First LP with DJ Phoney (Cologne) FINISHED, to be released very soon. Been finished for a while now (in fact, the second album is actually well under way already). The album featuressome very dark hip-hop, a journey into the darker parts of my soul and life, mostly autobiographical stuff from my time on the very edge of the abyss in London circa 1999. All accompanied by those deep and soul wrenching beats that DJ Phoney is famous for (or will be soon, anyway)
Featuring MC REAL
Now working with up and coming MC Real from Manchester, UK. Styles ranging from grime to dubstep to old school to new school, this guy is soon gonna be world famous, killer flow, insane dark lyrics and of course, my beats. I also appear as a guest vocalist on some of the tracks.
CRIMINAL FILTERNew project started with turntablist/DJ extraordinaire "Filterpleis". We're currently working out the details for doing some live shows, some kind of scratching/sample dropping/live beat making with a bit of live instrumentation and a bit of MCin by yours truly probably as well....2 men, 2 Technics, 2 techniques, 2 laptops and 1 mic, or somethin like that, we'll just see what happens. I'll also be contrubuting some vocals to a few of his funky instrumentals (yet another new style for me), and a bit of guitar work as well. We'll keep you posted as this develops.
TRES NACIONES album NOW AVAILABLE ONLINE.
Grab it while you can, it looks like it's gonna be the last one too.

Love the new track, definite slight Buck 65 flavor to it. Check out my new beat from this week, might not be pure hip hop, but its got a certain vibe to it.
thanks for the heads up on the new tracks, much appreciated. Awesome tunes, good job! The hook on Keep It Real is just plain sick, caught my ear from the first key.
Check out my new video for the single 'Slow Me Down', it's pretty different from your usual 'rap vid', as I try not to take myself too seriously! Hope you enjoy the mutiple costumes, this vid was a bag a fun to make!
