Home School by HWADC

"Since '88 at age 8" Hip-Hop was my language, identity and vehicle for finding a worldview, culture and community that I could be believe in. At age 16, I took up the name ThoughtUknew (styled as ?UKNEW when getting up on local walls) and I used my newly bought belt drive turntables, a shitty sampler and a mic to make mixtapes, rhyming over mixes and instrumentals...paying dues. 20 years later, my path which had spiraled out to encompass modes of music and existence as varied as one truth-seeking, socially-conscious, experimental, whimsical Pisces could manage; armed with limitless possibilities of music making at my fingertips; I attempted to pan in and out so I could focus on what kind of Hip-Hop album I'd always dreamed of making. The one I'd fantasized about thousands of times, from day one, the dream that had yet to come true. I realized what I had to do, I had to ignore the infinite possibilities and user-friendly seduction of the here and now, and seek the pillars of what every teenage Hip-Hop head in the 90's wanted to hear. Dope beats and rhymes. Concepts were great, and set apart the classic albums of that era...but they were subordinate or at least not as immediately essential as dope beats and rhymes. Sticking to beats and rhymes was the center I would find. The jumping off point through which I would distill all of my life and worldview and experiences into. This is Home School.
