(From Testament's myspace) "My lyrics are bricks I use to shatter apathy and
the status quo. Wether I'm spittin to a live DJ scratchin, acapella
spoken word style, a beat-boxer on the street, or a punk-rock drum
beat, I never pull punches or shy away from spreading confrontational
dissent through powerful, thought-provoking rhymes. I'm here to change
hip-hop and steal its soul back from the glorified violence,
materialism, sexism, and racism that the music industry creates
promotes and markets for their own capitalist purposes. The revolution
will not be signed to a record deal... DIY or die." - http://www.myspace.com/testamenthiphop

(From Illogik's myspace) - "in an age of universal deceit telling the truth
is a revolutionary act. the days are late but still i stand tall, stand
tall against the lies, in this world the time for revolution is near,
but not yet here. instead we must plant the seeds and water and care
for them so when the crash comes we will be ready, ready to resist. my
music fits into this infowar, take a proper gander at my propaganda.
they're saying choose your side, so that's how i'm playing it, and i
choose the side of life, i choose to fight against those killing our
world and people. freedom is the only option, fighting is what's left,
till the last breath and death. everyone dies, so what you do between
now and then is what matters. bring down the empire the fire the words
a flint/i'll see you on the front page of the last paper these fuckers
ever print." - http://www.myspace.com/illtothalogik
