7:34 am
a straight up money honey you can tease out what it takes not like the shrub and the plant from the case i saw in an embrace about how your brain still places with its place the number of the days of the big concept of. me. so i was sort this all 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 in someone watches you perform like we just did i'm really truly an inspirational so i really want to start with asking you who is the 5. defy n.c.
7:35 am
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 it sonically you can 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 bringing hip hop spoken word hip hop and traditional native american culture together. 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 i
7:36 am
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 gross i 1st started 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 4 clans we're very matrilineal culture and 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
7:37 am
philosophies too as well like our people were not very judgment on this much for the most part and 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 on the line and spending. 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
7:38 am
are just there to help and we all together fundraise over a 1000000 dollars in one night 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 1st and i seen 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 the system instead and try to wake up in the fire 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 homeland where my grandparents are from and some nasty 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 a much larger issues at hand then just battle rap so i stepped outside of the box
7:39 am
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 stay and just to expose and also raise awareness of all these atrocities that are happening through hydraulic 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 as 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 might just bleeds out of every every verse every bar every word i really what it was 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 jumping up and down 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
7:40 am
a little risky but when i'm mad it's very rural areas i can drive out and enjoy the scenery. and be out of the city put on a instrumental usually the beat 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 that beautiful new mexico you know they're going to painted sky landscape when you're just sitting there like listening to examine and write them out yeah exactly a lot of times off freestyle to think of the ideas and then put it down on paper. who are some of your inspirations and have. many inspirations i guess from my youth 1st hip hop song i heard was probably a run d.m.c. or chill raji tracks and as far as emceeing goes there's so many different amazing talented mc that have inspired me to name a few. big pine big arrow care as one percy p.
7:41 am
. micah 9 and freestyle fellowship evidence the dilated peoples of those are very influential artists of the good variety and you can see that not reflected in your work and said 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 the youth have always inspired me since the beginning in especially when time is when i guess an artist may get tired of worn out from trying to continue working with the youth has been very inspirational because they provide so much support 1st of all and 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 in not complaining about being on the road all the time. just gone back home and doing youth outreach it just makes
7:42 am
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 of others 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 artist going for the fame like that's never really been a focus of mine but. hip-hop 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 a magazine 44 and a 4th that john ordered schoolboy in
7:43 am
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 when the dormitory escaped out of corporate doors and explored my boar pony here to take it back home because ya not the present to scrub the present not your face and scrape the white the residue resume 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 dream in the grand mother moon in the fetal position.
7:44 am
well said the super cool for sure the little plastic was and is new york at the songs you know the stuff you should be the cheapest we look you feel and i mean the steel wool for you would not only do it is made for bush but i will. go us no. good solution. now in point scoring 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
7:45 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 out of it the activist said the problem there is that their prescriptions thus far have caused the problem so they're actually the problem their names have been fed the central banks need to be removed from the equation because they are the problem. lol.
7:48 am
7:49 am
part of the native american tribes you know. there's a lot of misconceptions out there you know. what do you feel. about your culture and where you're coming from. far away from home i sometimes. look at. not even human beings in certain instances not everywhere but there are some places to look at somebody and just take. some type of. people who believe that. kind of people i mean there's so many different tribes here in the country and we're all very different a lot of times people you know are sitting here at a bar a lot of times people think that. i've been over like 6 years
7:50 am
alcohol free and like 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 are like we we're helped out are like where we get a helping hand no matter what was that's 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 seeing 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 going 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
7:51 am
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 surgery life like how did hip hop save your life. hip hop saved 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
7:52 am
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 buys finds that spirit finds that voice you know through music. for myself i mean why are our tribe deals with a lot of energy enter a tional trauma or trauma that. just
7:54 am
water freezes testy water plants they concocted by trying to test this sort of that's like to make these plastic ones that's like celtic might think you want to present the street i'll head up but don't get caught up in a trend that's i sped up somewhat upset because i were still living basically nights at the foot of the truck to deal with the bob xander satellite truck is no surprise that the deal is still spinning in his pocket it's a box he could give up in a big if if it's trash if they don't have
7:55 am
a spare because they're legal types of paper comparable to night servicing cab that you might say never your flight back to the docks the same rapid pull back from the signal by deciding on him you do have the. you know political nature of what you're talking about because i think a lot of what you rub about a lot of what you what your songs are 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 in issue or attacking an issue or maybe people aware of an issue like how important is music to . feel 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
7:56 am
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 that they directly relate to our lives and way to live so. it's a responsibility for me to create music that. inspires and helps empower others because i was just in spy. arden's 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
7:57 am
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 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
7:58 am
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. you are no offense but you no longer a young woman in fact you are one of the last living survivors of the nazi else asked i am aware of it. and leave it at. all you like.
7:59 am
you can never forget maybe you can no auschwitz was really like to be inhaled because you would never believe it want to go to as a copy of a course for 30 years of both and be very bad it all seems so a lot offered by you it's a way to make it right when i get out on the farm saw you don't want to take my son to their next meal so he can listen and hopefully bless my heart hurts. if we can mail 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 anymore if everything becomes transparent about what we're thinking.
8:00 am
