First of all:
USE THIS FORUM TO DISCUSS THE CRUMBLING STATE OF OUR SOCIETY. WORK TOGETHER. THERE IS WAR GOING ON ALL OVER THE GLOBE, THE U.S. IS RESPONSIBLE FOR A HUGE PERCENTAGE OF THAT WAR, OUR GOVERNMENT IS STRIPPING OUR CIVIL LIBERTIES AWAY BY THE MINUTE, AND THE PLANET IS GETTING PRETTY HOT AND TOXIC. this is not a joke.
Paul Josephs leader of the band MetroSonics and its MC and guitarist, brings a host of influences and an epic imagination to the raw materials of Hip Hop. Molded on the mean streets of New York, his lyrical flights, which reveal a fierce political and environmental awareness, and his incisive guitar-playing combine with his unique synthesis of a wide spectrum of musical traditions to make for an unparalleled musical experience.
