Currently Recruiting.

So you can call me Meta-Physical...and that dope-looking dancer up there is D.W. So far, the two of us make up a poetic-lyricism/hip-hop group temporarily called Naked Music. We're all about integrating poetry and metaphorical language with meaning to hip-hop over beats, like those from Nujabes, RJD2, and Jazztronik. Our inspiration? Our love of words. What we sound like? Dreams. The truth. Reality twisted into something...just a bit more.

Here's the deal: we're recruiting. It'd be ridiculously easy if we kept the group at two people, but where would the fun, or the diversity in that be? We're looking for poets or prose writers who's strengths lie in creating images out of words, and the building of metaphors. We need a beatmaker with a unique style.

We want to open our mics to three more artists, bringing the group to a total of five. If those of you out there interested in this are beatmakers as well as poets/lyricists/hip-hop verse artists, so be it - we can use your talent.

The screening process will be simple: a cypher. Bring your hardest, most metaphorical verse to an open cypher against anyone else who's interested. If you're picked from there,the next step will be e-mailed to you - we'll give you a word, and from that word, you're to create a concept, find a beat, and write to it - spit something into nothing, basically. If you want to make your own beat, then that's dope too. Web cam or homemade videos are accepted as well.

From there, we won't tell you whether you've been chosen or not. We'll just post the track or video here, on the site, for you to come back and discover on your own. Good luck to all applicants!

• leave your name and e-mail.
• Jump into the cypher.
• Look out for our message.
• Keep doing what you do!

The cypher will be coming soon.
