Various artists I've crossed paths with, exchanged listens, feedback, with over the years. Some may have given up on the music, while others are still at it. My philosophy is, none should be forgotten.

WE BENEFIT FROM POSTING ON SOUNDCLOUD THE MOST WHEN WE FOLLOW BACK, LISTEN AND LEAVE FEEDBACK

Who should we follow back? The Soundcloud users who don’t just follow us they actually listen and leave feedback, makes sense, right. So why does it make sense, because they are the ones actually supporting your music, they are the ones that raise your profile and feedback is FREE hype, it advertises your product, it tells new arrivals to your page that your music is worth listening to, that’s what I mean when I say we ALL benefit.
These platforms actually end up failing BECAUSE we don’t maximise their potential in this way, a follow serves no purpose if we don’t follow through, and if we don’t follow through others don’t follow through either, we all become wary of giving support because we know only a very small number will do the same for us.
So how does this affect these platform, activity slows down eventually grinding to a halt, once that happens platforms like Soundcloud could end up going out of business, eventually there will be no platforms left for us to FREELY post on, the day will arrive when the ONLY way to post our music is to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE, so you see being PROACTIVE not only benefits you and I it ensures the survival of platforms like Soundcloud; ok, so it doesn’t deliver in some of the ways we’d like it to, and including reaching an actual audience, but it’s a whole lot better than nothing at all!

Anomally (TM Remixes)

Cholly - Anomaly (Tiger Mendoza 140 Remix)

In ancient Greek "Pneuma" (πνεῦμα) means "breath" and in a religious context it stands for "soul" or "spirit". "Soma" (σῶμα) is the opposite, and it means "body", as a distinct entity from the soul.

With these two words, the world had a completely new significance, or better, it became more visible, almost tangible: we are two, two as one.
"We are spirit bound to this flesh" sings Maynard Keenan of Tool, and these words resonate with me. We are spirits, we always have been, but we are also physical entities that must interact with each other in order to reach "great knowledge", by mistake, by love, by being together and by being alone.

Let your spirit shine, and let your body walk you through the experience of life.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE

I'M LOOKING FOR 
A DIFFERENT KIND OF SUNSHINE 
TO FILL THE VOID 
REPLACE THE WORLD WE DESTROYED
DARKEST NIGHT DID FILL THE COLORADO STATE 
IT'S A DISEASE, NOT JUST MOMENTARY HATE

FROM MINOR TO CRITICAL 
THE GUNSHOTS ARE LITERAL 
UNDOUBTEDLY POLITICAL 
BUT SOCIAL UPHEAVAL 
FRUSTRATION GOING GLOBAL 
ARE SIMPLY CLASSED AS EVIL

JASON PACK SAYS THERE'S NO REAL CONNECTION 
TO ANY STRAND OF THE TERRORIST INFECTION 
OBAMA SAYS HE'LL RESTORE OUR BELIEF 
DISPEL THE GRIEF, BUT RULES OUT RESURRECTION


HE'LL RESTORE PEACE 
TO MOVIE SEATS 
IN HOLLYWOOD, AURORA 
WHERE GUNS ARE SWEET 
AND BULLETS, NEAT
WHERE EACH DEATH HAS AN AURA

SHOCKED AND SADDENED 
HORRIFIC AND TRAGIC 
STATEMENTS ROLL OFF WHITE HOUSE TONGUES
BUT FIREARMS, FREE FOR ALL AND SUNDRY 
IS NOT THE ISSUE ON THE TABLE TODAY

THE PERPETRATOR IS THE KEY 
HE SHOULD HAVE USED THEM PROPERLY
THE GOVERNMENT COULD NOT FORESEE 
HE'D USED THEM ON A KILLING SPREE

'TIS TRUE WE LET THE GUILTY FREE 
TO WALK INTO EACH DORMITORY 
TO KILL THE GALS OFF RANDOMLY 
EXPLOITING VULNERABILITY

BUT THIS TIME, NO, IT COULDN'T BE 
THE FAULT OF THOSE WHO RUN THE SHOW
CONVINCED BY OUR OWN WORTHLESS PLEA 
OUR WHITE ROBES TAILORED PERFECTLY

WE RANT ABOUT YOUR LIBERTY 
AND RAVE ABOUT ITS SANCTITY
WE WASH OUR HANDS, AND CONSCIENCE FREE,
WE BASK IN OUR IMPUNITY

DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MISERY 
THE FRACTURE AND DISHARMONY
THIS FARCE OF LIFE EQUALITY 
A DEMOCRATIC FALLACY

MICK ROMNEY, TOO, IS SAD AND BLUE 
TO NOT SAY SO WOULD MISS HIS CUE
WOULD LOSE HIM VOTES, AND BE A CLUE 
THAT POLITICIANS, SAD BUT TRUE, DON'T CARE ABOUT THE ME AND YOU

DON'T CARE ABOUT THE MISERY 
THE FRACTURE AND DISHARMONY 

GENOCIDE IS MINIMAL 
MASS MURDER IS ACCEPTABLE 
REDUCED TO A STATISTIC 
LOSS OF LIFE; COMPUTABLE

DEATH IS IN THE DISTANCE 
TOMORROW SWEEPS THE GRIEF AWAY 
BUT HEADLINES GET A SECOND CHANCE 
AS FUTURE FOOD FOR FANTASY

THE GUN IS JUST AN INSTRUMENT 
TO BE USED FOR GOOD OR BAD 
THE BOMB, TOO, JUST A FRIENDLY TOY 
WE RECOMMEND FOR GIRL AND BOY

THE SHELVES AT 'TOYS ARE US' GIVE PROOF 
THOUGH MOTHERCARE REMAINS ALOOF 
THAT WEAPONS ARE THE PRUNING SHEARS 
PLOUGHSHARES SPREADING WORDS OF PEACE

SOME MOGUL CRIES OUT JOYFULLY 
LET'S GRAB THE OPPORTUNITY 
A DAYTIME MOVIE ON TV 
LET'S MAKE HIM A CELEBRITY

EXPLOITING IS OUR INDUSTRY 
WE PROFITEER IN TRAGEDY 
WE SHED A TEAR QUITE CYNICALLY 
AND MUTILATE ITS LEGACY

JUST CALL YOURSELF THE RIDDLER 
THE JOKER OR THE PENGUIN 
SMILE WITH GREAT CHARISMA WHILST 
YOU BRINGETH OUT THE DENVER DEAD

WE'LL MAKE THOSE DREAMS OF FAME COME TRUE 
YOU DID WHAT WE'RE AFRAID TO DO 
YOU WAITED FOR THE SOULS TO QUEUE 
THEN BUTCHERED THEM, SO WE THANK YOU!

Victim Of Illusion's NEW album - Invisible Light

A New Beginning

MN Moder (Zachary Moder) is far from your average 30 year old.  Having opened for legends in the hip-hop industry (Bone Thugs N Harmony, Tech N9ne, Twista to name a few), serving 4 years in the United States Army as a 19D Cavalry Scout (Combat Reconnaissance), working many odd jobs & formerly living a lifestyle of criminal activity, one thing’s for sure -  he’s no stranger to adversity, life’s challenges & the harsh blows that it can deal us from time to time.  Since going through his own series of trials and hard circumstances, he’s dedicated his life to his musical and personal aspirations, as well as helping others to do the same. Through overcoming those trials, tribulations, and challenging life obstacles, he’s learned an array of valuable life lessons and frames of mind to help survive and prevail every time.  He’s made it part of his purpose to share those messages with his listeners, which are cleverly laced throughout his rhyme schemes. His lyrics cover a wide array of knowledge and life experiences - a majority of it offering empowerment or insight, sourced from some of the darkest parts of his life.  This, paired with the ability to compose and deliver catchy hooks, makes him a versatile artist with an ability to capture the minds of listeners in a way that is easy on the ears and adds substance to the art itself.
Outside of music, Moder has been getting more involved with acting, modeling, and helping others through offering advice/insight that he’s labeled as “Modervation”.  His main message is that you can overcome any obstacle and be the person you were meant to be instead of who other people or society might want or try to make you to be.
