The Artist within

I could not envision myself as anything else in this world, but a true artist. Whatever I may be doing, I find myself connecting to everything in an artistic way, whether it be seeing the rings formed inside of a peppers stem, or the way the light cuts through the clouds on sunset. I feel calmness when I connect in those moments and let the thoughts of existence and being here as a thing of beauty overcome my innerself. Why are we here? Its the question everyone wants to know and as we grow up we either drift further away from the ideal or draw closer to its understanding. We are all here, because we are. We live on the same planet but hold different ideals about culture and art appreciation. But we all come from a universal understanding of fluidity, gracefulness, and respect. See respect may be represented differently and portrayed in a different cultural sense, but the meaning is there. See what I had learned in philosophy is that you can uphold the same ideas about a certain negative or positive situation no matter your race or gender. I can use a chair as an example. The idea of a chair exists in our minds. And with that idea of a chair or however you identify with that said object, we start to have visions of many different types of chairs and we can create these different looking chairs in reality. We have sofas, couches, wooden chairs, fold up chairs, metal chairs, comfy chairs, hard chairs, colourful chairs, antique chairs, baby chairs, etc. They are all just a variation of the ideal chair. Serves a purpose.  We use it to sit on.  See the idea exists in everyone's minds about the function of the chair. No matter how you envision the chair whether is be blue or wooden, it is still an object identifiable across the globe. What if an artistic vision that dealt with the same principles was to emerge.  If we could get a large populous to identify with a common goal or idea about the future and our existence here as human species, as environmentalism has helped do, then we can start getting those different coloured 'chairs'. Who knows how far the idea could spread and create global awareness through arts and culture.  One idea, one mission, common goal. Environmental thought serves a purpose, and it helps create the sense of awareness that we need now more than ever.  What happens if we don't have those ideals and our minds are blank and there is no chair. Would the 'chair' actually exist?  This is why education is so important across the globe so that we all grow with better ideas about how to help one another and the planet.  It would be great if we could instill those values about how marvelous the planet actually is with all its meandering rivers, epic cave systems, and incredible landmasses. Where will be when when everyone knows everything about nothing.  That will be the day our Earth will be doomed.  My art will hopefully tie in the ideas about what we once valued in the past but has had little affect on the current population of youth.  More are doing drugs and more frequently.  Is the world too boring? Are you sick of seeing all the beautiful things all the time.  What more needs to be shown?  Maybe its time we start experiencing these things.  Experience culture!  Explore the arts. Find your own sense of placement in this crazy planet and define yourself in the moments that mean the most.  Be the best you can be and never let anyone bring you down. Carve your path to freedom of self and expression of individuality. Make your way with friends and let them be your strength when you feel like falling. We have to come to resolve on global issues and understand that some people are truly out to hurt and make bad judgments. Protect others who don't want to get hurt and strive to more commonly accept others for just being here too.  The world is a small place now, we have to make the moments together produce lasting memories and progressive understandings about what is common to all of us.  Our being, our sense of urgency to get stuff done, our time of rest that we all need.  Be the best you can be and never stop trying, because failure to succeed is one thing, and success through failure is another.

Daily

Hey there everyone!  I am going to be trying to update this daily with some new insights on developments with my music, and maybe some relevant topics concerning hip hop culture, the environment and news topics. Its always good to keep up on what is happening in the world.  There are a lot of things we are not well educated on and this blog will hopefully help inform on these underlining issues that affect our money, relationships and more importantly our future.  We are only as good as what we know.  Knowledge is power people.

I am Canadian born, but internationally inclined.  I want to bring the oneness back into the world, one person at a time.  The release album is coming in the next few months so watch for updates on my other social media websites.  I will be creating a new soundcloud and it will be full of fun stuff to listen to while we keep you waiting. Enjoy the blog!

I want to be a voice so if you have any suggestions or comments hit me up in my email at envirohiphop@gmail.com  it would be much appreciated as we are building a network of individuals who would be willing to change the world with us.  Join us. We will offer the most honest and sincere looks at all things organic.  Our sounds, our thinking, our mission.

Broken Circle

The MOVEMENT
  It started with a couple friends and has now turned into a full fledged lifestyle. I live and breathe BrokenCircle. It represents a collective of people who have struggled with hardships in their lives and can see positive change in the world through media, arts and culture.  I have been fortunate enough to learn about culture and the way our world revolves around our interchanging of ideas and ideals.  It is a constant battle of harmony when political, social and  environmental problems start arising that causes stress to economies, peoples livelihoods and local resources. The idea behind #brokencircle and envirohiphop is to bring these issues to light in an entertaining and dynamic way.

The way in which music is manifested within our world is sometimes degrading and instills the wrong values and ideas in the youth's minds. It is about creating more awareness so that our youth can grow into the stewards that we need to advocate for global issues in the future.  Without the future of thinking being set into the right place, the hopes for true understanding and value towards our natural and social environments is doomed.  We will not be able to face the extensive damage that current stakeholders are inflicting, nor we will the populous understand just how vast these problems really are.

Here's the problem. If we keep crafting our kids into the same, technologically dependent, socially manipulated, and politically influenced individuals, how are they ever going to find inner peace with themselves and what their actual skills and talents are?  They will be so consumed on the ideals (what things should sound like, look like, feel like) that it will be hard to see the truth in themselves, what their potential is, and just how special they are. We will never truly change for the better as a human civilization if things like bullying and racism still occur. Everything is connected, and yeah cutting bullying out from schools might not feed the hungry children of the world, but that change in thinking of helping rather than hurting  can drive those who influence (like the bully) to stand up for something that is real and possibly look at helping others instead, which in turn could feed the hungry.

    There are a lot of people that need guidance in this world.  If there are no resources to provide that then those youth will grow up lacking certain fundamental skills that ultimately would have connected them to their inner self, the world as a whole and the universe in which we reside in.  The driving forces behind success that are available to some may not be to others and therefore those who are without cannot grow to their full potential as living sentient beings of this planet.  Its about a spiritual connection to others around you, your family and the world as a living being herself.  If we can start to understand just where we fit into the world we can start to develop deeper feelings towards other cultures, acceptance, forgiveness, and can start to develop into empathetic selfless individuals.  There are too many people with too much power not doing enough to shape the world we live in for the better.  We have to make a more prominent stand ourselves as broken pieces of this world; coming together to form a strong circle and network of like minded people. Attitude changes everything!
