Release Notes: ░██▓
██▒
"We should make an album about this book". Nate Wolfe's ██░
venomous grin bit at the pages, salivating. This invitation ██
of sortsùinstantaneous inspired by an LSD high... still ██
dancing in the open ends of our minds 8 hours later...after ██
washing a vile with vodka to extract the last precious ██
illusions of this beautifully dangerous chemical compound. ██
My girlfriend and child asleep upstairs unbeknownst to the ██
two city hippies below, trip-pin. ██
"This book is dope Phree." "Yeah, I know." "Did you read ██
it?" "Every bit." "Can I borrow it...till tuesday?" "Low- ██
Fi?" "Low-Fi." Nate goes back to reading, I'm aranging pages ██
for a book I wrote. Reading your own shit when your high is ██
like learning a new language. I couldn't pronounce a ██
sentence or what in the hell I meant. Anyway, I'm feeding ██
the ego, Nates going coptic on me then he jumps up with an ██
opiphanie about writing songs for each parable, me on the ██
beats, both of us rapping even call it the Ethiopian Tattoo ██
Shop. "We should do this before you move". "Shit bro, ain't ██
got but maybe 3 weeks left in the city." ██
I was moving to Hawaii. After 28 years of Seattle born life, ██
ten strong in the hip-hop undergound, I was on my way. And ██
the first answer that honestly came to my mind when Nate ██
made the suggestion to get down on a record together before ██
I bounced was... no I can't. Packing, family, projects, ██
beats, shows, busy, goodbye's, beats, busy, work...yadi ██
yadda. At that moment I had no clairvoyance or faith for the ██
possible intoxication that would envelope us into the ██
creation of this piece, a piece I'm so ultimately proud of. ██
All I could think about was how agitated I was that Nate ██
suggested the idea. I thought it was a perfect idea, and it ██
pissed me off thinking it couldn't be done. I was high. So I ██
said yes. Nate Wolfe is a convincer. ██
Initially Nate's idea was that we would make the album ██
together, since I found the book and he was now borrowing ██
it. We were both idiots and assholes thinking we could pull ██
it off without Graves. ██
And when I first plucked the book from a musty shelf at a ██
Sally Shop, I found the cover cool, but the description ██
exoteric. I put it back and kept looking. Whether it was ██
fait or the fact I had 2$ left over after copping a cheap ██
desk lamp and the Complete Works of Shakespeare, I ██
gravitated back to the shelf and bought the book: The ██
Ethiopian Tattoo Shop by Edward Hays judging by it's cover. ██
The desk lamp turned out to be a dud and I haven't read any ██
Shakespeare. If it wasn't for Nate's ambitious zealotry and ██
a perfect dose of decent acid, that Sally Shop might have ██
reaped the better end of a transaction. ██
At the time, Nate and I were recording and collaborating ██
with Graves at his home studio in Beacon Hill. The 3 of us ██
have been friends for years and compliment each others ██
talents. It was obvious to include Graver. He is a music- ██
holic and someone that can be counted on in times of ██
inspiration so, he was down for the cause immediately. ██
Without his help his skills and ideas Nate's psychedelic ██
wishes and my experience would have never came fruitful. ██
So, the book went from my hands to Nate's (he actually ██
brought it on tuesday to Lo-fi), then to Graves. When the 3 ██
of us had read the book, I started out on the first beat for ██
the album. After 2 fanatical days and a quarter ounce of ██
Sour Diesel later, they were completed. While I was working ██
on the beats I could hear the voices of dope emcees I knew ██
spittin'; their cadences and delivery. My nature and nurture ██
agreed that we should share this with others. It was surreal ██
to find that Nate and Graves were thinking the same. Open up ██
the doors of the shop. And although a few cats who were ██
invited to get their ink missed out, this album is blessed ██
and graced by talent and collective energy. Friendship is a ██
hell of a drug. ██
The Ethiopian Tattoo Shop is a compilation of Coptic ██
Christian parables and each song is based upon a different ██
parable but, isn't Christian Rap trust me. I believe that ██
Christianity and the teachings of Christ differ so I'm not a ██
Christian. I don't speak for everyone on the album but if I ██
had to, I'd say they weren't either. Prior to writing each ██
song, the object-able parable was read aloud or individually ██
read by whoever was on the song. Every cut was wrote and ██
recorded at Graver's crib. By the time it was done, everyone ██
had read from the book, some of us in it's entirety. ██
And suddenly there I was, on an airplane headed for the most ██
remote chain of islands in the world off to the next ██
awakening, with a fresh tattoo. A few weeks later, Graves ██
emailed me the mastered version of what I now consider my ██
greatest contribution to music. And that was back in ██
October, its January and I'm still pumping it daily...like ██
the reflection of Narcissus. If you enjoy the album find the ██
book. If you've found the bookùhear the album. The toil of ██
Edward Hays became our muse, let our toil become your trip. ██
