I showed up to the Instagram party way late. As a photographer I had certain feelings for awhile about the whole camera phone revolution. I got over it. I didn’t wanna be like DJ’s that refused to embrace Serato when that came out. Being unable to except the evolution of technology, not a space I wanna be in.

Here are five photos from my Instagram archive. Too lazy for descriptions. Enjoy the photos.

I want to thank everyone who came out to see Mon-tag last night. It was more than interesting. There was so much going on. I needed to break the ice so that I can really become that character with no fear. Last night lit the spark in me to get back in a performance brain and to be great at it once again. I was asleep for a while. Lot of life changes. But it’s brought me back. I feel good and I’m confident. I will not cease to amaze you with what I do even when it’s rough raw and uncomfortable. Thank you all so much for being involved. Being my audience as I reemerge from my self-induced shell…

Be fearless…

Last week I did an interview with RapReviews.com discussing my character Mon-tag and my first show in three years tomorrow at Bowery Electric. The following is an excerpt from the feature, you can click read more for the full interview. And if you’re free Wednesday night come to the show!

iAreConscious has been one of the most creative artists in New York City’s hip-hop scene for well over a decade. Unafraid of being called different, he actually embraces such critiques because it lets him know he’s achieving the kind of uniqueness that he strives for.

Over the years iAreConscious has created a number of projects under different names. His latest is Mon-tag. As Mon-tag, iAreConscious does a lot less rapping, and a lot more singing. That’s just a very small piece of the Mon-tag story, however, and in anticipation of iAreConscious taking the stage as Mon-tag for the very first time on January 23rd at Bowery Electric in NYC, RapReviews caught up with him to find out more about the project, what he hopes to accomplish with it musically, and the way in which old technology will play a prominent role in the show. iAreConscious also revealed the very daring way he introduced Mon-tag on the internet, and the reactions he received from listeners.
