Husband & father. Rapper in Messengers from the Empire and Damn the Architect.
Our first EP is also up. @FakeBitRebel My favorite songs from our EP are “Lost In The Gray” and “Drunk On Queens Boulevard”. There’s a bonus track on the EP called “Messages”. This track is the first song @j-m-a-d.bsky.social and I ever made in this project. It’s from 2010 and it sat on a drive.
Possibly my favorite song off Lost and Found has dropped! Nothing Comes Easy by @mfte.bsky.social is here, the gritty cyberpunk ballad you didn't know you needed. #musicsky #newmusic #alternativehiphop #independentmusic #yourgrandmasfavoriterapper #hashtag
Sorry, it’s been awhile Couriers! We are super busy with life stuff. @j-m-a-d.bsky.social and I @fakebitrebel.bsky.social are definitely doing the best we can! We do have a new song called Forest Hills Punk. Check it out wherever you get your music.
It's the last thing in the world I would ever want to happen, but with each passing day it feels like we step closer and closer to the line. You can't reason with cultists, and I think a civil war is going to be the outcome of this. I don't think our kids are going to grow up in the America we did.
Karma just dropped. There's a bit where I pay homage to Eyedea (RIP). "Secrets spill out when you're asleep; It grabs me by the throat, I'm choking on your speech..."

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."

@jd-vance-1.bsky.social Hi, J.M.A.D. here with @mfte.bsky.social news. When you said you were a never Trump guy, exactly how long would you say did it take you to bend the knee and lick the boot?
