greetings and salutations music my friends can change the world and most importantly it can give voice to the voiceless which is why it's our pleasure to present to you the mc out of new mexico d 5 is watching the hawks strikes a chord. 2 sense. that was meant to be destiny and that's my ancestors past the fleet street my specialty my special seems to manifest claim stress those swings broken up last month. and the mechanism of memories a chance to preach against the trees promise me this lead to catch my sleeve but if asked to check my speech that template still see out and then tantric a then i'm box that will be gone in the midst of the great.

time i must sound the sound i respond on the trail pop up or down time up the sound i just trail behind them i know that's mine and i just michael cheika help us find a way to say all this right now but now the lamps has. to begin to doubt my side of myself i'm going to go michael the tramp myself percentage man and i go about this i'll be treated probably not all that san diego but headed to the town that's going to get a credit because i'm surrounded it comes in st paul got my head up and close to my feet so big i said i would help with the middle of the that michael coleman simply the pup and they get up and call the police with the brains comes with. the cup in it come to defeat us i'll close the shelf of the suite. on the deadly up and down the good tree must come to that house he does think the government doesn't believe we come up with the motions really. help me. sat outside watching.

my son light in the terrible skies of time of my heart and mighty offenses fighting back to the heights the sergeants the parents tired of my years found it hard to use any one last good luck to create a car seat. cars to recite in the car. to pick up i think i did a hard time since concepts are so shiny groups can build terrible darby's to keep our bones emerging markets. this is to every free time a house with a head ass out a passing attack i'm happy i was down and out of what you back now with the down put up a casket a 2nd that we could do but i got my ass look at the top of that it's now going to cash out of my face. on the day they come out the house in the strait of my panties

now that it's a snowplow by the shrub and away from the case nice join an embrace about how about free place open space to the old the case of the concept of. me. so i was sort of sell 1st of all. you've got an incredible amount of passion and energy in your music and in your art and that really comes through and someone watches you perform like we just did i'm here truly inspirational so i really want to start with asking you who is the 5. defy n.c.

music producer artist educator from albuquerque new mexico representing the dinette nation defies all so if you broke it break it down an acronym could be definitely eternal or def external forever inferno or definitely eternal forever internal short for definition rare. if you look at a sonically like hi fi lo fi and somewhere in there. or to defy the fire began probably in my middle school time and i've stuck with the name ever since. what what was your inspiration and experience that. led you to bring a hip hop spoken word hip hop and traditional native american culture together in your art like what brought those 2 forces together. i think it would be a combination of living in urban and rural areas environments as a youth wasn't raised primarily from a traditional side noir. you know the other side of things so basically. as

a use my grandparents on my maternal side they really instilled a lot of wisdom when i was at a lesson my mother also taught me how to read and write before i could walk so they gave me a good leading start to begin with in middle school i'd say about that time i got introduced to hip hop culture as far as like to be boys be girls by for sort of i seen a direct similarities and connection between hip hop culture and my traditional culture as a dinette person and that both of those connections led me to kind of combine both together what were called real errors of value. for instance as a dinette person we have 4 clans we're very matrilineal culture in our reservation it's around about 4 sacred mountains 4 sacred directions a lot of these numbers stood out to me and for the hip-hop 4 main elements to it. one of the main connections that really led me to become connected we have is. the philosophies too as well like our people were not very judgment on this much for

the most part and hip hop kind of has and is a universal culture to me so without having to look at someone's skin tones practitioner can practice the ceremonies and feel like that was inviting for me a lot of times it was hard to find acceptance growing up there in new mexico where i'm from so hip hop was there and so i always carry my cultural heritage with me and then it's interesting. you raised over a 1000000 dollars a big number you raised the room 1000000 dollars to help the water protectors of standing rock when that went down what was your inspiration for stepping forward and saying you know what i'm going to use my argument to use who i am and what i do to raise money for those people out there putting you know putting their lives on the line and standing. yeah i was a part of the fund raising i didn't do it entirely myself i've got to give credit to the collective crew family which you say of. hip hop practitioners people who

are just there to help and you know we we all together fund raise over a 1000000 dollars in one night via hip hop concert by texting water at this certain number you able to leave a monetary donation just a little back story with that but i started out as a battle rapper a 1st and i stay in the entertainment value side of that but after a while i realized that i could apply myself in much more useful ways are much more impactful ways rather than battling someone's head to head why not try to go towards a system instead and try to wake up and defy the system sort of speak and. that's kind of how defy started i did a song when i 1st was inspired as these hydraulic fracturing zones were getting closer and closer to my homelands where my grandparents are from this and new mexico it's very rural at that point in time i realized that i needed to apply myself as an mc a music producer towards the much larger issues at hand than just battle rap so i stepped outside of the box and wrote this song called the land of in fact me and

that's kind of a flip on the on the slogan of our state and just to expose and also raise awareness of all these atrocities that are happening throughout a draw that fracturing zones you know areas and from that point on i've just been helping hand as part of the many different movements for the indigenous peoples movement and many others as well but that's probably the most that was a that was a beginning you know after hearing your music and like i mentioned earlier that passion that you have that like just bleeds out of every every verse every bar every word i really want those like how do you sit down when you sit down the writers write a song you know like what is that process for you when you sit down and say ok you know i'm going to write about this issue of fracking or i'm just going to you know write some fire to get people to open up about like what how do you tackle that how do you approach each song each song is kind of approach very differently but for the most part i'm writing all. my lyrics behind the driver's seat i know it's

a little risky but where i'm at is very rural areas i could drive out and enjoy the scenery. and be out of the city put on a instrumental usually the beep guides 1st take out my beats through different producers go from there and so you're literally like right behind the wheel of a car in a beautiful new mexico exactly into your painted sky and landscape or you're just sitting there listening to examine and write that well yeah exactly a lot of times i'll freestyle to think of the ideas and then just put it down on paper. who are some of your inspirations and your paul many inspirations i guess from my youth the 1st hip hop song i probably would have heard was probably a run d.m.c. or chill raji track and as far as emceeing goes there's so many different amazing talented mcs that have inspired me just to name a few. big pun big. care as one percy p.

. micah 9 a free stuff fellowship evidence the dilated peoples those are very influential artists and that's a good variety and you can see that not reflected in your work and said so glad you don't feel bad but you can definitely feel that the style you know and i think you know one of the things that's interesting too is your work you work a lot with young people you know and. you know how has your work with those young people how was that inspired the music and the art that you create the youth voice inspired me since the beginning and especially when times when i guess an artist may get tired of war now from trying to continue working with the youth has been very inspirational because they provide so much support 1st of all they keep things brand new and fresh for me i don't get worn out or i don't complain a lot a lot of people say like how do you keep going and not complaining about being on the road all the time. well just going back home and doing youth outreach it just

makes me i get happy true happiness by working with the youth i was always raised in a classroom setting i come from a family of educators and healers so i've always been in the classroom since i was a kid my mom has been a teacher and a big inspiration for that so when people ask me why are you so connected to that it was it's just kind of just who i am and was brought up that way and raised that way. working with the youth also gives me a sense of purpose that's much deeper than. working for just myself for what would you say monetary gain or certain things like that or some are just going for the fame like that's never really been a focus of mine but. practitioners and see i feel like i have a responsibility to give back and that's what i really focus on that it's a big focus of part of my mission couldn't afford the jaw i might seem 44 and a 4th that joan ordered school i went to boarding school forced the move got chores

and more sports in a dorm but only one course of fire chief kept the wood burning before morning outside the house early at 440 past the sheep rug on the floor by the door in the dormitory escaped out of corporate doors and explored by my boar pony here to take it back home because ya not the present to scrub the present not your face and scrape but wait the residue resumes like beams of people resonate with resolute. able to cope with all the pain that we soak in the next generations of welcome but before the preservation was the home you know the nation was stolen but i'm in a sweat lodge seeking a vision it's like i'm back out the boom dreamin of grandmother moon in the fetal position.

but if she warned you and i do the dishes at the bottom or those jeans near the speech and you see me you. know. in the news i mean guys are that infants involved. a lot of you will see as if parts of the bill for the most called. the. cabinet 5 days of doing.

in the united states presidential candidates debate the future of the u.s. and the world. mexico is a red state you see her but to get into the burning questions of this election cycle one self big every week. tax student debt trade was corporate money universal basic. and more catch up with what's front running this sunday exclusively on r.t. .

yes. alice is.

ready to. head to. france.

it's still. a lot of people. who are.

people look at us as we're almost not even human beings in certain instances not everywhere i go but there are some places what i can look at somebody and just take a quick glance and they almost look at me with some type a sense of resentment there are people out there who believe that. we're only one kind of people i mean there's so many different tribes that exist here in the country and we're all very different a lot of times people to like you know we're sitting here at a bar a lot of times people think that we're just alcoholics myself. i've been over like 6 years alcohol free and there's many of us who would never even drink or did drugs

before so that's another misconception people believe that were poor but were really were very rich in culture tradition cultural heritage a lot of people also believe that. every tribe gets per capita are like we we're helped out are like where we get a helping hand no matter what was really not the case sometimes when you come to the deep parts of the reservations or the most rural areas i think a lot of people in music they only see the big names in the big lights right like they're only used to see in the cat on them t.v. or the cat on the cover of a magazine pigs like that but that it's a bigger world than that i've heard it described sort of like you know if you become in an if i don't artist at a certain time you can you know either be in it for monetary gain and be like this was to be considered as a rapper but i consider myself more as and see and i think that allows myself to be more community based and not a self-serving entrepreneur or more like you know i'm here of service as well for.

representing myself my family my friends but also the culture of hip hop and that sense of pride in me being proud of who i am as an as internet man and also as and see it gives me strength but also gives me direction to what i'm actually doing here with the music hip hop is. save my life so. me being me being part of the culture is like just i mean i want to contribute just as much as i can chip pop is helping me so when they sort of save your life how did hip hop save your life. hip-hop saved my life. through the friendships and bonds and through the practice of itself i felt like as i was working on these skills the skills were also working on me to become a better person and started out as a homeless artist and if it wasn't for the hip hop community or the hip hop scene at that time i wouldn't have had

a place to stay i wouldn't have had. food and just basic survival needs so hip hop community has been there for me since day one and what advice would you give you know a younger. our tribe intergenerational trauma or trauma that. a big part of. realizing that i had to. much more potential than i would. like.

to be. now. powwow south so.

i. don't want to see the. i'm a fan of up man up in a manner. of speech which i'll just have to just take it to stop just to present the stuff that you can see fit but that's just it's just expected to track yet of success rates because they control that to be tossed up on the press just just like just a lot of places testy for someone that they concocted lifelines it's just sort of what's the magic that's like to make these classical guitar like celtic might make you want to present the street i'll head up but don't get caught up in the tracks as i sped up someone else's records that were still they've been basically nights at the foot of the clock to deal with about a genocidal flop is no surprise that medicine is still spinning in his pockets a box he could give up in a big fish trap if they don't have a very hysterical times about every complaint but

a nightmare for some cabbage you might say never your life back to the hocks the same back with all that tradition of not my decision on him you do have. you know political nature what you're talking about because i think a lot of what you rub about a lot of what you're songs about you know they like you mentioned with fracking and things like that you know you put those those flavors in there how important is music to changing. politics or changing in issue or attacking an issue or making people aware of an issue like how important is music to. feel like music can inspire and empower many people when i feel like it the messages and their that. or you look at it like the last song that you did for like the last song that you did for us that's such an enlightening song and it's such a powerful song using the mix of you know your heritage and your people as well as the drum beat and then the hip hop flavor of the archipelago you know you know that

song is about that song teaches as a tribal person you kind of grow up loving the environment and that's it and that's inside you already instilled so. doesn't make you a. the titian sort of speak but the issues that politics that you know surround it they directly relate to our lives and way of life so. it's a responsibility for me to create music that. inspires and helps empower others because i was just inspired and empowered from hearing music from a lot of a greats and legends of the hip-hop pioneers is that it's a continuation is you know right you know it's a beautiful continuation. i want to finish up and ask you you know when you look at your career and you look at where you're going you know you're only 33 years old you've got a long career in front of you know a lot more music to write a lot more beauty to produce on this world what do you what do you imagine or what do you hope your legacy use with your music and who you are. and i got inspired

from reading something i think from kara's warner somewhere where he's making music for the future generations creating a catalog that can last and also transcend generations i would like for my music to help inspire future generations and also help anybody in need who. who feels alone or phil's. depressed i mean. i make music just to help a lot and i do make music just likes i do have track i just befire not really. just focus on a specific concept but it's hard to see the ripple effects of us sometimes because we're just moving and moving and moving and moving i hope to look back one day and be able to. thrive with my music career but also really it's want to give back tenfold as much as i received i mean i got to say my hip hop has been there since the beginning so it's hard for me to say what i really want out of it it's hard to

describe man i just sometimes that the music speaks for itself. and that ladies and gentlemen is our show for you to day thank you all very much for watching and remember in this world we are not. told that we are loved them up so i told you all i love tyrrel but her keep on watching those hawks and have a great day and night everybody. to. raise a. good food descriptions sound up to tell using even for the owners so how to choose his pet food industry is telling us what to feed our pets really more based on what they want to sell us than was necessarily good for the pet turns out to put food

may not be a so for the people believe we have animals that have you know diabetes in arthritis they have auto immune disorders if allergies we are actually creating these problems it's a huge of a democrat problems all of them i believe can be linked to very simple problem of diet and some dog owners so heartbreaking stories about their pets streets the larger corporations are not very interested in proving or disproving the value of their food because they're already making it a $1000000000.00 on it and there's no reason to do that research. here's a thought experiment and a bit of a prediction for 2020 going back to saudi aramco aramco as it went public just recently at a market valuation an excess of $1.00 trillion dollars i think i want pointless war 2 trillion dollars i think that we're going to see them make a hostile buy of

a company maybe facebook for example and it could be the 1st trillion dollar hostile raid in history because they've got the balance sheet out if you've got a 2 trillion dollar balance sheet that means you've got you know the ability to borrow another trillion. you've got a 3 trillion dollar war chest if you go after an apple or even a berkshire hathaway 5 or $600000000000.00 why wouldn't saudi aramco buy berkshire hathaway just as a hostile trade and then they own a huge portion of the whole global market the american market why not they've got the balance sheet now they want to diversify away from oil and gas and i think we're going to see a move like that the next 6 to 9 months. almost show seemed wrong. but old rules just don't hold. any new world yet to shape out disdain become agitated and in gains from an equal betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look

for common ground. he ran designate the u.s. armed forces a terrorist organization and response to the pentagon's killing of tehran's top commander says huge crowds of mourners gathered for the funeral of customs and. meanwhile your health now through closely announces a resolution to curb donald trump's ability to attack iran or a similar restriction was stripped from a defense bill passed by congress just last month. plus as we enter 2020 of the hangover of political correctness still haunts us notably over the new gangster film the gentleman who put the issue up for debate. he could tell you some of the most.
