The Outspoken Wordsmith's

"The Outspoken Wordsmiths are a bi-coastal pair of beatboxing pirates who have taken to shore to spread their a-capella antics and circle-(A)- political poetics by any means necessary."

(From Testament's myspace) "My lyrics are bricks I use to shatter apathy and the status quo. Wether I'm spittin to a live DJ scratchin, acapella spoken word style, a beat-boxer on the street, or a punk-rock drum beat, I never pull punches or shy away from spreading confrontational dissent through powerful, thought-provoking rhymes. I'm here to change hip-hop and steal its soul back from the glorified violence, materialism, sexism, and racism that the music industry creates promotes and markets for their own capitalist purposes. The revolution will not be signed to a record deal... DIY or die."

(From Illogik's myspace) - "in an age of universal deceit telling the truth is a revolutionary act. the days are late but still i stand tall, stand tall against the lies, in this world the time for revolution is near, but not yet here. instead we must plant the seeds and water and care for them so when the crash comes we will be ready, ready to resist. my music fits into this infowar, take a proper gander at my propaganda. they're saying choose your side, so that's how i'm playing it, and i choose the side of life, i choose to fight against those killing our world and people. freedom is the only option, fighting is what's left, till the last breath and death. everyone dies, so what you do between now and then is what matters. bring down the empire the fire the words a flint/i'll see you on the front page of the last paper these fuckers ever print."
