3:30 am
but don't believe we cut the punches really. help me. sat outside watching the house. my son might in the terrible size and prime of my heart and mighty offenses fighting back to the heights the sergeants the parents tired of liars has its entire views any one last could be about to created the car seat. cars to recite in the cars. cars to pick up i think i did a hard on see parcells turning through we've struggled terrible darby's to keep our bones marching. this is to every free time a house with a handout at passing
3:31 am
a pac man was counted out of what you back now with the down put up a casket of 6 that we decided to pass look at the top of that it's now going to cash out of my face. on the 3rd day the top of the house in the strait of my panties now that it's a snowplow by the shrub and away from the case nice joining the baseball hall of fame. place with this place the old the case of the big concept and. so i was sort of self worth all. you got an incredible amount of passion and energy in your music and and your art and that really comes through in someone watches you
3:32 am
perform like we just did i'm very truly inspirational so i really want to start with asking you who is the 5. defy and see music producer artist educator from albuquerque new mexico representing the dinette nation defies also if you broke it break it down into acronym could be definitely eternal or def eternal forever inferno or definitely eternal forever internal short for definition rare. if you look at a sonic leaking tai chi filofax in summer and there's. more to defy the 5 began probably in my middle school time and i've stuck with the name ever since so what like what was your inspiration and experience that. led you to bring you know hip hop spoken word hip hop and traditional native american culture together in your are like what brought those 2 forces together. i think it would be
3:33 am
a combination of livin in a urban and rural area and environments as a youth wasn't raised primarily on from a traditional side nor. you know the other side of things so basically. as i 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 the real errors of value. for instance as a dinette person we have for clients 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.
3:34 am
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 in hip hop kind of is 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 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 are going to use who i am and what i do to raise money for those people out there putting you know putting their lives
3:35 am
on the line and standing. you know 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 steam the entertainment value side of that but after a while i realized that i could apply myself in much more useful ways or 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
3:36 am
myself as an mc a music producer towards the much larger issues that and then just battle rap so i stepped outside of the box and wrote this song called the land of in fragments 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 draw that fracturing zones in our 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
3:37 am
write some fire to get people jumping 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. on my lyrics behind the driver's seat i know it's a little risky but when i'm mad it's very rural areas i can drive out. 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 and that beautiful director the co you know they're going to painted sky landscape when you're just sitting there like listen to examine and write them out yeah exactly a lot of times on free stuff to think of the ideas and then put it down on paper. who are some of your inspirations and. many inspirations i guess from my youth the 1st hip hop song i've heard was probably a run d.m.c. or chill raji tracks and as far as emceeing goes there's so many different amazing
3:38 am
talented emcee that have inspired me to name a few. big pine big arrow care as one person. mike and 9 of freestyle fellowship evidence the dilated peoples those are very influential artists about a good variety and you can see that not reflected in your work instead of like you don't feel bad but you can definitely feel that the style. you know one of the things that's interesting too is your work you work a lot with young people and. you know how has your work with those young people how was that inspired the music and the art that you create. have always inspired me since the beginning in 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
3:39 am
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 in not complaining about being on the road all. time. 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 in a big inspiration for that so when people ask why are you so connected to that evolution it's just kind of just who i am and was brought up that way and raised that way. and 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 artist going for the fame like that's never really been a focus of mine but. hip-hop practitioners and feel like i have a responsibility to give back and that's what i really focus on that it's
3:40 am
a big focus of part of my mission couldn't afford the jaw a magazine 44 and a 4th that john ordered schoolboy in a 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 board pony here to take it back home because ya not a 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 saw 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 dream in the grandmother moon in the fetal position.
3:41 am
it. seemed wrong all along just don't call. me. yet to shape out these days because as a kid and engaged equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart. she still look for common ground.
3:42 am
the freddie super cool porsche look at all the little plastic there was a news new york at the salon in china the stuff you shirtless for the cheapest we just look you feel and i mean the streets full well for your clothing would not only do it is made up for bush but i will push the fiesta for the sure going to kill us no. good answer. yes. if we can now look into people's minds read the thoughts the question then is what kind of consequence we can take from this. i think in take the example of lying it would prevent us from i wouldn't be able to live any more if everything becomes transparent but we're thinking. join
3:43 am
me every thursday on the alex salmond show and i'll be speaking to guests of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.
3:44 am
yes. this is.
3:45 am
probably ready. to head it. frankly.
3:46 am
it's still. a lot of people. who are.
3:47 am
but there are some places but i can look at somebody and just take a quick glance and they almost look at me with some type of sense of resentment that 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 in light of there's many of us who never even drank or did drugs before so that's another misconception people believe that we're all poor but we're really we're very rich in culture tradition cultural heritage a lot of people also believe that. every tribe gets per capita or like we we're
3:48 am
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 the m.t.v. or the cat on the cover of a magazine things 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 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 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 it in that manner and also as and see it gives me strength but also gives me direction to what i'm actually doing
3:49 am
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 papa's help to mean so when they sort of surgery life like how did hip hop save your life. hip hop save my life. through the friendships and bonds and through the practice of itself i feel 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 was. 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 the hip hop community has been there for me since day one and what advice would you give you know or a younger person in similar shoes to you who phys finds that spirit finds that
3:50 am
voice you know through music. for myself i mean why are ard. intergenerational.
3:51 am
3:52 am
make peace talks like a truck subsequently you want to present the street i'll head up but don't get caught up in its tracks as i sped up someone else's record shop or steal they've basically made such a put the book on the field with the bob a genocidal. surprise that that is the deal is still spinning in his pockets a box he could give up and they'd be there to distract if they don't disappear because stereotypes about everything pam put a lightsaber seem tepid you might say never your flight back to the docks the same practical factor in the signal i decided 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 want your songs about you know they like to mention with fracking and things like that you know you put those those flavors in there how important is music to changing. politics or changing an issue or attacking an issue or
3:53 am
maybe people where an issue like how important is music to a fellow like music can inspire and empower many people and i feel like if the messages there 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 in the archipelago you know you know that song has 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 and still so. doesn't make you a politician sort of speak but the issues that politics that you know surround and they directly relate to our lives and weigh a life so. it's a responsibility for me to create music that. inspires and helps empower others
3:54 am
because i was just inspired and empowered from hearing music from a lot of the greats and legends of the hip-hop pioneers. is that so continuations you're 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 got 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 years with your music and who you are. and i got it's fired from reading something i think from kara's one or somewhere where he's making music for the future generations creating a catalog that can outlast 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.
3:55 am
i make music to just to help a lot and i do make music just the likes i do have tracked i just did fire 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 a money 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 enough so i tell you all i love you i am tyrrel but keep on watching those hawks and have a great day and night everybody.
3:56 am
if we can now look into people's minds read the thoughts the question then is what kind of consequence we can take from this. i think in take the example of flying it would prevent us from i wouldn't be able to live anymore if everything becomes transparent but we're thinking. blushes and thanks to the cica total more than the bleached secret the host knows to team you'll be set it's not that teaching that all the shooting against.
3:57 am
the utility bills you know you said it it actually should make you a little bit i was going to have to be a scheme to show. you shirley's. given to us but to the south korean his or stow them the tea some corn summed up. the money of what you called the british mr bush imo sure but just. now it's $24.00 and we have what would be historically considered one of the greatest financial crises of the past 150 years and where does it fall into the
3:58 am
category where how do you classify it i think we're going to see a global depression and to your point how quickly do we get. added to the activist fed the problem there is that their prescriptions thus far have caused the problem so they're actually in the problem their knees have been fed the central banks need to be removed from the equation because they are the problem. as a nation subject to us and investors but there it. is a little she's a mother could offer you got bored with it which worked in food for. your mom happens you know to try to. remember the. purpose.
