I got to kick it with the homie the other day talking on some music tip. What started off as a conversation about mixing down tracks evolved into projects local artists were putting out. Given the recent release of Heroic Villain EP, he expressed that folks were sleeping on my music. That sort of statement always brings me back to the question of why are people sleeping/overlooking/dismissing work of not just myself but of other folks whose work resonates as a challenge to world that often manufactures and essentializes good art? While I can get into issues surrounding the music industry and social conditioning, what comes to mind is the power that we as consumers and as a community have. Music and art has always been rooted in human emotion and it is only right as community of real people, and not corporate machines, be the preservers of good art; human art. Again it is comes back to the people, much in the same way generations have managed to preserve traditions and old yet effective practices. This isn't some gimmicky underhanded way for me to get more downloads or pats on the back, what this is really about is recognizing that the survival of the community's soul, art, culture is really up to the community itself.
