I'm an artist from Angola, Indiana who's most concerned with social activism and empowerment for all working class people. I believe that with my music I can spread working class consciousness to as many people as possible and that we will then be able to create a society in which we are no longer bogged down by the draining efforts of contemporary life and the ever looming threat of homelessness, hunger and poverty. Since the age of 13 I've had this dream, and even further back than that I've had a deep love and respect for the musical art of Hip Hop. It was built upon social change and controversy. It will do the same once again.
Christ Money Sex Talk is about the hypocrisy in American society. We often like to pride ourselves for our "love of the lord and jesus christ" without even attempting to abide by any of his teachings. We, including myself, have problems with selfishness, corruption and greed. Capital is often the main goal to strive for in many peoples lives, and in one way or another, it completely consumes every essence of our being. Through this obsession many are killed over petty, quickly made profits and once this act has been committed, a life has been lost forever.
We like to pride ourselves on being a "sex positive society" in some social circles, while completely rejecting the concept in the most traditional ways in others. However, what we seem to be unable to get over is rampant discrimination and objectifying the human form. We are judged on our sex appeal and by how many partners we've slept with, or haven't slept with for that matter. Regardless of the situation, your identity and worth is boiled down to a special set of numbers and words with no meaning, while we try to promote "self love". And you wonder why the suicide rate is as problematic as it is.
