people like Nelson Mandela, Ghadhi, Malcolm X and life in gernerals. My mum is prob my number one influences. Without penitrating her wisdoms in me, I would be gone stray. experiences is what made me who I am and who I gonna be.
Never has the name of an artist been so apt, growing up in the Southern Sudan, Hip Hop, MC, Mantist and his crew, No Pain No Gain, know a thing or two about pain. Having lost his father before he could even remember his dad’s face he was sent to live with his alcoholic Grandmother at the age of 6. Because of her drunken state Mantist was often left hungry and had to head out with his 8 year old brother to find food. Music was a release and at the age of 12 he started to write songs. Free-styling in local villages and refugee camps in his native tongue was an outlet for his pain and when he came to Australia he began to write songs that told his own story and at the same time spoke of hope and freedom. Showing that out of pain there comes gain.

INDIVITUALISM WILL PRISON US ALL
sometimes I feel like I'm wasting my time
writing rhymes
coz, this world is so ignorance, think everything is fine
I wish they could read between a line
what speak, ain't lie
when we talk about death on the streets
the world needs peace
we tell from the eyes of experiences
so, join the protest
coz, there will be no progress,
if we are, how we are
exclusive!!! man, we need inclusive
togetherness is power
I ain't looking for honor
I'm a servant, tryna empower
I'm devour for the truth
honesty is the quality we require
you can glower at me
but seriously, I'm not an enemy
eventually, you'll see and understand
we fight for humanity
but if you feel me,
join No Pain No Gain
LIFE IN A REFUGEE CAMP
I was raised in a refugee camp
damp!!!
you should have seen man
the condition we went through
a lot of issues
shortage of food
Malnutrition hitting kids
Col aria taking his
Malaria killing millions
No proper medical, no proper hygiene,
people are so vulnerable
simple disease, could causes you death
experiences like that, you never forget
for God sake,
we got some six killer diseases that kill people daily
Tetanus, TB, Measle, DP, Polio, WC
I've been there so many years
but seen little care
My question is,
IS IT FAIR TO JUST SIT BACK AND WATCH PEOPLE DISAPPEAR?

Hello there, just passing by to spread the word that my LP, Earthworthy, will be out very soon and available to purchase via paypal on my myspace, and hopefully at other vaguely respectable outlets here and there... Until the LP drops I have a bunch of tracks from the album up on my myspace player, if you are bored or feel inclined to listen. I also have 2 film clips for tracks from the album, 1 currently unreleased and the other is on my myspace and on youtube.
Earthworthy is sixteen tracks of hot sex featuring Thorts, Class A, Esvee, JP, Lady Lash, G-Force, Morgan Macmanus, Nikkita & Butler Yeats. Production from Proph1, Crytearia & Xcise... Thanks for letting me spam you a bit! Peace & Props, Kady.
