New Video: Vietnamese Algebra

Hello,

I am inviting you to view my new music video I recorded, edited and completed yesterday. I had plans to shoot a vid Saturday night, but I was feeling sick so I canceled. Sunday, it was sunny out so I shot this ride around my neighborhood.

The song is new. It’s on the Final Version of “Hyenas Because Hyenas” via Itunes. I produced the beat in 2007, wrote the lyrics very recently and recorded that day. What’s different about this song for me is the writing. It’s a straight take on hip-hop, no poetry no abstractions, etc. This is how my next album “Onslaught” as written.

Jesus Was A Gook

This is the second song I’ve written so far for “Heads On Sticks”. (Note: And I just finished “Onslaught” last week, so that will be released first).

“Jesus Was A Gook”

by Michael Nhat

Some people’s

Hero’s John Wayne mine’s Ron Ridenhour

the man who found the power in himself to report the cowards

showered the Congress with letters about a Massacre

in My Lai, if you haven’t heard of the

1968 mass murder by whom?

the United States of America Calley and his troops

who came to murder 3 hundred and forty seven

unarmed civilians mostly women and children

living in poverty – such an atrocity

but nobody gives a fuck because they’re VietnameseContinue reading “Jesus Was A Gook”

New T-Shirt: Hyenas Because Hyenas

I drew this in 2006 with an ink pen on white paper. I scanned it and planned to make it an album cover for something that didn’t exist yet.  I do that often. I make the album covers then record the sound based on what I personally would like to hear from it upon viewing it the first time at a store. Seven years later the sound I wanted for it is ready.

These are limited in quantities. Pre-Order your “Hyenas Because Hyenas” T-shirt today at https://michaelnhat.bandcamp.com/album/hyenas-because-hyenas

Thanks for your support!

Mad Lucas

In 1995 I walked into Recycled Sounds and this song was playing. It became a favorite. I was in transitional period of my life. I just graduated high school the year before, I was a father, I was experimenting with LSD, etc, Paryting all the time, and fed up with the “Rap” life. “Skaters” or “Grunge” kids were introducing me to a lifestyle that made me actually feel comfortable in my own skin. It was so refreshing I didn’t know how to act, so I didn’t. I just allowed myself to be myself.

Anyways, last week I played this song. Then this weekend we just saw “Her” and it was playing in the film.

Free Download – Beautiful Ones (A Prince Cover)

Are you ready for some Prince? I know I am not that great of a singer, but I like to do it for fun. Yesterday from start to finish I completed a cover of his “Beautiful Ones”. I didn’t use any guitars or any live instruments, just a computer. I’m pretty sure If any hardcore Prince fans here this, they’ll condemn me to hell for destroying it. I don’t care I like it. Let the yelling and wailing begin.

My Ghost Will Talk To Your Ghost Pt. 1 (A Mix-tape)

I sometimes find myself believing you can tell a little about a person based on their taste in things like music/film/books. Indirectly, I may be judging people by this very notion.

Since I was an adolescent. I made mixtapes on cassette tapes. I made them to play in the car, parties, events, etc. Not to sell.

I recently realized there is nothing online or in public domain that showcases my taste in music. (For years I’ve daydreamed of making a film that did so, but I don’t see that happening anytime soon). So I decided to make a mix-tape online so people can judge me properly.Continue reading “My Ghost Will Talk To Your Ghost Pt. 1 (A Mix-tape)”

I Was Jumped For My NWA Hat In 1991


I was jumped for my NWA hate in 1991. It was black, corduroy, with red lettering. It was ugly. It didn’t fit me. It was always a size too big. Even with a plastic adjustable strap on the back. I didn’t care I was a rap fanatic and finding hip-hop clothing to express what you support only existed at Co-op Records and it wasn’t a very large selection. Remember this is early 90’s Iowa.Continue reading “I Was Jumped For My NWA Hat In 1991”

You Are Reading The Book I Never Wrote

I wanted to write a book in 2006. I never did. Instead I wrote short stories here and there about my past with the promise I would turn these into a book. I recently envisioned that book becoming a reality. Then I imagined myself posting about it trying to get you guys to buy it and I stopped. I stopped and realized no one is going to buy my book. And I don’t want to get all depressed when you don’t. So I decided to post these stories on my website. Continue reading “You Are Reading The Book I Never Wrote”
