SOOFIE by TRANSMODERN VEILS

the idea was conceived upon the winter solstice of ‘21 … now its form lives and breathes!

this album is a love letter: to hip-hop … to the spiritual traditions of our universe … to the beings i live with and love.

“…if hip hop makes you a better person than the religion that you practice—or the way that you’ve been practicing that religion—then i would rather you be a part of hip hop than part of an organization.” - bun b

“not separating appearance and emptiness: this is mastery of the view.” - milarepa

“…any study of the colonial world should take into consideration the phenomena of the dance and of possession.” - frantz fanon

“…every second was the small gateway in time through which the messiah might enter.” - walter benjamin

“their food is the ambrosia of the teachings, and their drink is the juice of liberation. their bath is pure aspiration, and morality their unguent and perfume.” - the vimalakirti sutra
