Mischievious

Illmenite the Speculator 
In this third inception of my hiphop career, I have chosen to combine all influences, concepts, goals, and dreams with the evolving world and culture around us. While rap is my medium, I am really more of a philosopher who uses poetry that rhymes to express what I feel compelled to address in such a way because it is less likely that if I were to generate literature, as many of the people whom it would reach would be the ones to whom it is intended. 
In general, you may ask, how is this different from The Hitman Sweet D (albums: "the HITman", "SemiSweet", "Some $4!+ I Outgrew") or just Crum (albums: "Poems of Introspection", "Compile")? Well, neither one of these phases of my artist's lifestyle really pursued the potential career success I saw, first of all. Secondly, there are now in the world many of the tools and technologies to reach a mass audience without major backing available that I once envisioned but didn't have the power, influence, or finance to generate, even though I conceived of them years before they existed. 
So as a visionary who has put his true aspirations on the back burner, I am - and the world is - finally ready for me to speak to the world unabashedly publicly, all the bells and whistles, with a media blitz strategy, no fear of worldwide fame or notoriety, or failure to accomplish either one. Illmenite the Speculator is fearless, and still has plenty to say about the future (as if it were already fact).
