In this expedition, Neonn talks to legendary superconscious emcee Kalki das (aka Antony of Egypt / Kikwaakew / Legion / Sunya Das), manager of Revolt-Motion Records, founder of Mutant Akademy, & author of over 100 albums of paradigm-shifting radical Hip-Hop, to discuss the decolonization of mythology, anarchism as a spiritual philosophy, Hip Hop as a radically inclusive futuristic global culture, animal activism & the possibility of ethical commerce, the true nature of the apocalypse we’re living thru, the metaphysics of corruption in hierarchical power structures, the potency of artistic activism in the lifting of the veil, the beauty of diversity, the chasm between religions & the prophets who inspired them, science fiction as the new mythos for a technological age, what living sustainably really means, and lots more decolonial metagnostic activist philosophy.. 🎃

“As one of the pioneers of Hip-Hop, Grandmaster Caz has seen a massive shift in the culture since its inception, and he took a moment to focus on the gangsta rap movement during the ’90s. The New York emcee explained that he saw a detrimental impact on the culture when gangsta rap was on the rise, because it killed out all of the conscious rappers at the time. Grandmaster Caz then gave props to N.W.A., and shared that Eazy-E used to come to a Zulu Nation club in L.A., but the East Coast legend stuck by his thoughts on the negative impact he feels their group and others had on the Hip-Hop culture.”
