Cleverly disguised as a literacy teacher by day, A.P.O.S.T.L.E. transforms into a lyrical superhero for justice by night.  His super powers include, a dynamic wordplay and vocabulary, which he uses to masterfully conquer social issues, mass media, corrupt politicians, and sucka emcees all in a single bound.  By joining forces with fellow superhero DJ Quest, this dynamic duo’s live performance is easily the most powerful Hop Hop stage show in the universe.

The new album, Lyrical Activism features DJ Quest (Bulletproof Space Travelers), Viveca Hawkins, and fellow Heavyweight Dub Champion member Stero Lion.  Lyrical Activism was co produced by legendary producer Mark Pistel (Meat Beat Manifesto, Disposably Heroes of Hiphoprisy, Consolidated, MC 900 ft Jesus).  The electro-dub-hop sound-scape is the perfect surface for A.P.O.S.T.L.E.’s intensity.  He’s created a lyrical force field where materialism, misogyny and nonsense rhymes cannot penetrate.  By contrast to the norm, listeners become engaged, informed and inspired.  This leaves A.P.O.S.T.L.E. as the last man standing above a sea of mediocrity in a dying genre. 

With an extensive tour history around the US in festivals and clubs with his former band Heavyweight Dub Champion, this soldier has earned his stripes as a live show veteran.  He has also cultivated undeniable name recognition in his hometown of Denver, CO for his work as a grassroots community activist, performance poet, ghostwriter and performer.  Recently A.P.O.S.T.L.E. relocated to the Bay Area to combine all of these efforts into one project.  Lyrical Activism is his definitive work that will definitely be an underground classic. 

DJ Quest is one of the Bay Area’s most reputable turntablists and has collaborated on many recordings by numerous artists including: Dan the Automator, Blackalicious, Rob Swift (Executioners), DJ Zeph, Sacred Hoop, and DJ QBert’s Do It Yourself Vol. 2 skratch sessions practice DVD. 

DJ Quest is one of the founding members of the original scratch crew (Bullet Proof Scratch Hamsters/Space Travelerz) along side Eddie Def, DJ Cue, DJ Marz and MC Eddie K.  Quest is also a member of the experimental jazz/hip hop power group Live Human. 

Filth & Foul is as real as it gets.  The group delivers energetic flows over Dr. Dre-like beats.  The group thrives off of truth in lyrics, and subject matter that everyday people can relate to.  Filth & Foul has been performing shows and touring constantly since 2001.
