"LIFE IS WARFARE" is the first video by Hip-Hop duo X-VANDALS off their debut album, "THE WAR OF ART". X-Vandals is DJ Johnny Juice from Public Enemy and MC Not4Prophet of Ricanstruction.

The video features a performance by X-Vandals with DJ Johnny Juice on two turntables and Not4Prophet on microphone in and around a post apocalyptic burned out building. The X-VANDAL SQUAD brings the noise on the choruses and Adan from the band Amerikas Least Wanted (in gas mask) did the guitar solo for the video.

The concept behind the video is that X-Vandals has hacked into a satellite uplink for commercial network television to air "LIFE IS WARFARE" as a wake up call to the massive.

Not4Prophets lyrics in LIFE IS WARFARE talk about this government created, corporate controlled warfare that turns our lives into a daily battleground and DJ Johnny Juices beats and production drive that point home. In much the same way that the song is about warfare the performance and the image needed to feel and reflect that as well. The video image is fighting to be seen and heard through the corporate controlled, government sanctioned airwaves. The degraded television like video image is a visual metaphor for the struggle to survive in a world that is filled with the warfare perpetuated by corporations and governments. The hacked satellite uplink feed into the commercial network is a analogy of our resistance to the warfare perpetrated on us by the corporations and enforced by governments.

"THE WAR OF ART" is available as a download everywhere on the web and as a CD through www.resisterrecords.com.
