This is the tale of the Hawk and the Iguana. The Majestic Hawk of the
Hickory Apache Tradition, who looks over the Apache people as a guide,
protector, scout, and herald of good fortune. Traveling to and fro in a
ceaseless hunt, but always returning home to his family, catch in tow
for them to feast on. Then there is the Cold Blooded, resourceful, and
ever-adapting Iguana, who found his way to the United States mainland
from the Carribian Islands and has made South Florida his home.
Traditions tak of them as rivals, but on a chance meeting in the Swamps
of Miami Hip Hop, the two seemed to find common ground as they shared a
smoke, and after years of parlaying, finally decided to break with
traditions and show the world that at least in their case, the Sky
Glider and the Ground Crawler could not only commune in peace, but could
actually work together to build something that impacts families,
communities, and our very own people. NATIVE SLANG is the union of
Hickory Apache descendant EKYM1536 of Dolce, NM, and 1st Generation
Cuban American 8ch2Owens of Miami FL. It is the setting aside of
stereotypes, preconceived notions based on misinformation, and
ignorance, for the real-life experiences that come with daring to share
life with others who might not be of the same background as
you. NATIVE SLANG is not a gimick, it is an honoring of our individual
heritage and a celebration of our ancestors over the music of the HIP
HOP Culture we have adopted. NATIVE SLANG is a call to unity for all
"Minorities". A reminder that we are only Minorities if we stay divided.
If we unite, there will be no stopping us.
This is our first album, NATIVE SLANGUAGE. We hope it gets you familiar
with the way we sling our slang, cuz there is a lot more on the way. Get
familiar with the Slanguage.
We were giving this batch of beats by the great MUTE SPEAKER of Great
Britain. We thank him from the bottom of our hearts because his
production sent us an a journey that has formed the foundation for a
life long friendship. A follow up album over MUTE SPEAKER beats is
already half way completed. Now we just have to find out what Animal he
wants to be for the next album cover. Salute MUTE.
