Metaphysic speaks on the concept of - Soil "The Warrior Lessons" (Behind the Scenes)

DJ Metaphysic speaks on why he worked on this record and why it is so important to him. This is being posting this in the week of his passing. We began this record a year ago within seven days to this exact date and released it on Fathers Day. We salute you.

Here is more on the record and concept.

Father's Day is a day for reverence for our father figures, and Hip-Hop, as a whole does not pay its respects to all of the good fathers in our community. Producers and Fathers Metaphysic and Amond Jackson have put together a hip-hop tribute to all Fathers and the relationship they share with their children. The project entitled "Soil: The Warrior Lessons" pulls together uncompromising people from the hip-hop community sharing wisdom for our kids over Amond's and Metaphysic's beats with special guests producers. Hip Hop notables like J-Live, DJ Applejack, Floyd the Locsmif, Illastrate, M1 of Dead Prez, Homeboy Sandman, Supa Dave West, John Robinson, DJ Amdex and many others will speak to their seeds and share the feelings and information they need to know. This project should be the soundtrack to your Father's Day and provide encouragement for you and your young ones.

"Soil" is everything a parent provides for their children or "seeds." Metaphysic describes the project's title in this way: "Just like in nature our children, our "seeds" can't grow alone once planted. They need the proper care in order to flourish. The soil is the nourishment parents must provide in order for our youth to grow strong roots and flourish. With the right soil our youth can properly develop into productive, self reliant and creative contributors to the human family." Amond and Meta intend for this project to be a gift for Fathers to share with their children to provide alternative perspectives from mainstream music and media. This project also serves as a time capsule that generations in the future can listen to and see what these group of fathers and fathers-to-be had on their minds.

The sense of community among fathers is a major theme for this project. Amond and Meta have brought together many different voices in hip-hop; DJs, MCs, B-Boys, Producers, Writers, Videographers, and Freedom Fighters have all contributed to this inspirational instrumental project. The music will be free, so listeners can expect to hear a wide range of vibes and sounds. "Soil: The Warrior Lessons" will be a free download available Father's Day June 20, 2010.

Special thanks to the folk who made this possible. Your sacrifice will multiply your intention as we are all speaking in unison. The evidence is the seedz.
