My cover of Mobb Deep's cult classic Survival of the Fittest" that gradually morphs into me sounding like Zack de la Rocha from Rage Against the Machine.

Survival Of The Fittest

12dCode heralds from the great state of New Jersey and has unsavory memories of his youth being spent as yet another case of unwanted loin waste.  Post-Boomer “adults” took turns ruining his childhood with their emotional drunkenness, which explains why he finds solace in the predictability of machinery, logic, and computational devices.  By the age of twelve, he had made his first web page.  By the age of fifteen, he had learned QBASIC.  At sixteen, he was making music on Digitrakker. At seventeen, he was in advanced C++ courses.  By 1997, his site, Ghetalion.com, had been issuing out Hip-Hop music to the exploding online music community to the tune of 400,000 hits a month.  He received his first ASCAP credit by eighteen for his incredible multi-planetary smash single (read: extreme fucking sarcasm) “We Got Panache” by Princess Superstar.

Jersey provided few outlets for people such as himself and it wasn’t long until he was brought into the rank and file of doing manual labor with immigrants for two years. Growing weary of referring to his boss as "el jefe", he attended Full Sale Sail University in 2002 and graduated a year later with an Associates in Audio Recording Arts. In 2003, he struck out westward and ended up in Los Angeles, where he currently resides.  He performed three years of slave labor studio engineering at VoiceOver LA and managed to land a few voice over roles for Toyota, the L.A. Angles, most notably as Nightmare from Soul Caliber 3 and 4.

He stumbled into the web programming industry out of dumb luck and before long, became fluent with PHP, MySQL, CentOS, Apache, Ruby, jQuery, Python, Flex, and countless other Web 2.0 platforms/technologies/easy-mode finger-painting. His framework, CAIN, powered EternalSpace.com before its untimely demise at the beginning of the Great Recession in 2008. In three months, he revolutionized how Guthy-Ranker (masters and commanders of Proactiv) runs their Web Operations with a little project management tool called Redmine. In 2009, he became the Director of Web Technology at Warner Music Group.

His upcoming book, The Empath, elaborates on his political and economic theories without steamrolling over the fragile sensibilities of the average Neoliberal consumer.
