Random Promo Stuff
A bunch of people are on the internet and some of them are starting cyphers and contests for rapping. Some of them are just making cool stuff. Here is a collection of small video projects and songs that I’ve created to help bring viewers to my website and to practice making things and collaborating with other artists:

Lightning Bolts - Collaboration with Will Hyler
(Song and Video by Will Hyler, rap by historian)
Will made the beat, wrote/sung the chorus and made the whole video. I just said some stuff about lightening and pretended to be a wizard or something. It was fun.
Numbers Exhibition
(Beat produced by Wyldfyer for Ludacris’ ‘Last of a Dying Breed’)
In this ‘exhibition’ rappers were supposed to rap on this Ludacris beat using numbers.

MC Ammunition Contest
(Beat by Alan Morrison)
Download Ribglow (MC Ammunition).mp3
I recorded this verse for a contest called “MC Ammunition” hosted by a talented beat-maker named Alan Morrison, but I didn’t have time to make a video. Thought I’d put the Mp3 up anyway, so you can hear the beat he made for the contest (I really like it).

Stumbled across your stuff after checking out Scott Gairdners stuff. I really dig your style my friend. You take your art to new places. It’s always inspiring to find artists who aren’t afraid to do their own thing. Keep up the great work. I’ll look forward to hearing the album.

I came across your site from a link on amazingsuperpowers.com I found your music and videos to be extremely entertaining and original. I was wondering if there was a way I could download “Genocide and Crocodiles” and “No Barz” without having Quick Time Pro? I right click and try to save but it says I need Quick Time Pro.

^^ In Reply To Branden:
I really don’t know why this is happening. This is the first time I’ve heard of anyone having this problem… When I right click on it I am presented with the option “Download LInked File.” Which seems to work fine. The other thing you can do is left click on it, to open the mp3 in it’s own window, then click on the little downward pointing triangle on the far right of the imbedded quicktime player and select “Save As Quicktime Movie.”
I hope that helps. Thanks for checking out my work.

Got linked your stuff by a friend and I must admit I really enjoy it. I listen to your album on the way to work and it always puts me in a good humour going in. When can we expect the second album?

Hey man I’m really not even sure how I stumbled across this, but I know it was through searching you tube. First I saw the thundering beast technique rap, and I Was hooked man. The next day I started digging a little deeper and finding some other vids…that open your eyes track is stellar bro. This is the most unique style I think I’ve ever heard and it really blew my mind. I downloaded the album too and really dug it, especially Thrive and Shadowsong. Definitely all good stuff though. Oh one last comment haha, the vid where your climbing the rocks…amazing man, the flow was great but the scenery helped bring it all together. Great stuff man, great stuff!

I’m a radio host on KKFI 90.1FM here in Kansas City. I was researching ‘unique’ Halloween music that listeners haven’t heard and I found YOUR YouTube ‘Sooky Halloween Rap’.
I then found your website. You are one very, very talented person! Keep doing what you are doing!
I am NOT a rap fan but I am a fan of your style and your music videos.
Email me at the address supplied on this post - I have a rap/song idea for you to consider creating.
Hope somebody discovers you and promotes your talent!

I recently downloaded your album, and so far im enjoying it a lot. Your topics are really cool, something i havent seen touched by rap or many other musical genres(Aside from metal bands like mastodon, who tend to have earth/animal themes in their music aswell) . The music behind the lyrics is really great, sets the atmosphere perfectly almost every time. Alot of the background music remind me of the music of Legend of Zelda temples (In Mountains and Shadow Song in particular) which trust me, is definitely a good thing. I guess my only gripe would be that sometimes you break your flow/rhyming pattern, or seem to rush your words, and it really messes up the song sometimes. The last verse of in mountains (Climbed with a spineless atheist…) is probably the best example. These lines tend to be really cool and profound ideas, but you should try to make them flow better. Other than that, im definitely looking forward to your next album. you show alot of promise.
Also, the singer featured on thousand ghosts has an amazing voice. just wow.

hey! My names Mark.
I was watching you on youtube (I’m now a subscriber :p) and it lead my to this website, this site can only be desccribed as some sort of amazing portfolio showcasing the work of a multi talented genius!!!
I couldnt even begin to try to be as good as you in any of your fields of expertise haha.
Drawings are amazing and the creatures you can come up with are things that I would love to see in movies.
Your movie making is so good too. I watched children of stone and loved it. Was actually wondering what you use for effects and things because I have been into after effects and stuff the past few years and just loved what you have done in your videos. The costume stuff you do too, like that crazy look in the open your eyes video? amazing!
Ofcourse then there is your rapping, the poetic ingenius lyrics you come up with are incredible! Real mind blowing stuff like in glorious infinite.
Oh and your concept sketches for that model your working on made my jaw drop.
One guy with so much talent and originality is crazy! I hope you keep all this up and are hugely successful in whatever path you end up taking (cos it seems like you have many choices)
I got your album by the way!. Wow this is a long comment. I guess I’ll finish up by saying, last night I wasn’t asleep til after 6 am because I found you youtube and this website, I was just so facinated haha
Thank you for the hours and hours of entertainment!
Roi on 26 Mar 2010 at 4:55 am #
Damn! I can’t stop listening to you guys! It’d be the first time I ever said that rap ROCKS! Awesome lyrics, cover art (freaking love your artwork), and interesting videos! I look forward to more from you! Keep it UP! I’ll be keeping my eye on your site for sure!
