“Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.” The Summer’s New Hit ‘e-book’?
NEW YORK, N.Y. - Thursday (July 21st, 2011) - It’s summer time in the city of New York and while most every music artist is concerned with putting out a ‘hot’ single to compete with the season’s heat or ‘making some noise’ via an oh so cliche ‘buzz’, one in particular has decided to thread so far left, he’s ends up right. iAreConscious currently in the midst of an ‘indefinite musical hiatus’ is releasing a free e-book this week entitled, “Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.”.
With a forward written by Bay Area indie Hiphop vet Sum (The Milky Way band front man) that can be heard online from the e-book’s sign up page, (accompanied by an ever growing Facebook Face-pile) it’s apparent that while the content within may be concise and to the point, the method used to promote this work is a bit more elaborate. A little less Zen.
When asked how the idea came about to author this collection of original quotes iAreConscious states, “I was booked as a guest lecturer at NYU recently and realized I had no new product to share with the audience. I needed a calling card. I wanted to introduce them to something other than my music. People still read you know. Never-mind my mother’s been telling me to write a book for years. How could I not listen to my mom?”
“Clear & Lucid & Natural & Simple.” is both a literal and figurative journey of sorts for an artist that remains two steps a head of his audience and four to five steps ahead of his musical peers at all times. Perhaps his break from music with applied focus to writing and sharing ideas in this manner will enhance the power of his tunes whenever he decides to return to recording and performing them. Whatever the case may be, one can not deny the genius of this alternative summer campaign to create awareness. Everyone loves a good “quote”.

Hay Pastor [Hell Of A Life] Should I continue telling the story?
I'm telling a story but not sure if I should continue. Should I? If you think I should and enough folks agree with you that I should, I will.
"Like", retweet the song or email me if you're ready for verse two and if the numbers suggest I should, I shall...
lyrics
hey pastor, jesus on the main-line
he wanna ask you couple questions bout your face time
Why you rappin to the choir, that was Mase job
be more clinical or end up, genitals in mason jar
or in the grove of the pine where the free Masons spar
skull and crossbones, shiftin through papers
and lost poems, my lost signals my lost phones
androids, and clones meet, where your arms cain't reach
not to be out place in this space
we tuck our charms underneath
he bought the farm it was brief, no boxers
or that contract would be breached
safe haven for the maven's fuzzy peach
hat ten gallon, so his record's wouldn't leak
inherited her earth, grand prize for the meek

Dear Tokyo, a Konnichiwa (K)ninja sends his love…
Japan.
I was there. In Tokyo in November. I didn’t want to leave. I met so many great people. Received so much love and hospitality.
Now they’re going through it. They need support and they need aide. While I’m happy to know that my family and friends there are safe, still their lives and countless others have been affected tremendously. While we’re still finding out if there are ways we can directly help all of those folks that so graciously hosted us during our stay, we intend on doing something this month with Bondfire. Not exactly sure what yet, but there will be something going on.
After a random conversation with the founder of Swift.fm Edward Aten, I crafted a grand scheme (You know I like to do things BIG!). I enjoy using Swift to upload and share music. Why not stream the entire album Konnichiwa (K)ninja, Sending out a vibe of peace and solidarity.
Today I’m uploading the album here http://swift.fm/iAreConscious/ and will leave it up indefinitely. It’s also available for download on Bandcamp.com > http://bit.ly/hDJv8y There’s no minimum to download it. That means you can have it for free.
It’ll be tweeting out each song with a little background info about each one. So you will be introduced to some new producers and other artists that made the project possible. Please feel free to ask questions, leave comments, interact and share.
It’s all about intent. Working on figuring out how else I can be of service to those in need, but for now I’m going to share my music. I put much into my words, while they may not seal up broken grounds, I am sure that this impulse will reach and contribute to the collective healing energy being sent from around the globe toward our extended family members in Japan.

Skate_ : A Short Film by iAreConscious
Believe In You is the only message here.
On a Sunday afternoon I shot some random video of some teenagers riding their skateboards in Brooklyn.
I reached out on Twitter and Facebook for a beat to complete this project. Dr. Quandary answered the call. I spliced it together and now we've collaborated to relay this affirmation.
Share it... That's it.
Believe In You
Devil In A Bubbled Vest from Our Ugly Bright Straightened Reality
memories affected me
then the energies corrected me
weapon brandished
go head see how love handles
like dead weight
wait, a minute cupid,
yeah yo, wait a minute stupid
you left your arrows behind
shouldah shot you in your narrow behind
how you love that?
why you wanna interfere?
to make the mood confused
for you to leave the room amused
what you need some love too?
end up in the news
with yah heart all bruised
a spectacle, suggested dues paid
broken hearted union
go head, sip the kool-aide
communion for slaves
feel good to be the only one, in the community Paid?
well you could be laid in a community grave
no Or Leans with beads for the brave
that poke they’s chest out
or tell stories bout them fiends that they slayed
The Walking Dead, love locked down
cause they talked to the fed, Ben Bernake
On Smash, How a Hiphop World Fullah stars
wanna attack me
a tad bit Salty. Lawry’s
Towers Faulty, Al Qaeda, down wit the BBC
for that, my guitar it gently weeps
said Lucille, to mister BB King
A blues brother, always - with wings
Or twisted - metal dark fantasy dreams
as the right finds wrong answers
In the next T Pain, Sean Hannity scene
on deaf ears does reality bite, then scream?
matters none when the vampire public
ain’t payin tension to the nickelodeon screen

"Neck On Froze" Digital Release
Consider this a relic.
One of the only pieces of audible data, salvaged from the damaged drive that once housed, "The Bronx Über Villaini" LP. This work, an integral fragment of 'sound history' conceived by one mysterious figure the world will soon recognize.
Neck On Froze is available exclusively on Bandcamp.com.
It is not on iTunes or the most familiar digital channels for purchase. The "Über Villain" will receive all proceeds for his product directly, so that he may continue his projects of science and make available his findings in the most timely and efficient means.
Science is expensive...
Invest in the science of sound today. Participate in shaping a future filled with innovation that you, have vested interest in. (Be the programmer not the programmed... - Douglas Rushkoff)
The "People's Villain" is engineering new works as you read this.
