Ghetto Defendant – Available NOW
Ghetto Defendant
The new FREE EP, “Ghetto Defendant”, is the Prologue to “The Liberation Chronicles”, a multi-media series telling the tale of a dreadlocked insurrectionist battling an evil post apocalyptic corporate empire. Designed to stretch the boundaries of current media and media presentation, the EP contains 5 new powerful songs which stay true to the doctor’s revolutionary production history. Guests include Killah Priest, Lady K, and Katrina Blackstone, with mixes by Bill Laswell. The digital EP also includes a video trailer, (co-produced with Brooklyn based director / film maker Johnny Kraljevich), a teaser for a graphic novella, and a teaser for an ebook short story.
“The Liberation Chronicles” depicts the victory of love and creativity over politics and violence. This is the story of man vs machine, revolutionary vs empire, an anecdote of rebellion and struggle for the 21st century. “Ghetto Defendant” is the prologue for the 7 part series “The Liberation Chronicles.” Episode 1 “Love in a time of Violence” is due out fall 2012
