One of my, if not MY FAVORITE GUITARISTS...

so nice i had to post it twice. My brother in creativiy MRK82, menes rebezzar kedar, a St.Croix/Virgin Islands native, and Durham NC resident, is truely ill with it people. we met in college when i beat him in a freestyle battle(two sides to every story), only to have the crowd demand more( cause shit was truely high in entertainment value). So, in this extra ACapella round Menes won a much needed $50, and while my crew was all in my ear, 'Yo! that was that bull..., you had that!,etc'- i took it upon myself to go outside and find this kid and tell him how much i respected him as an emcee, and that i'd yet to meet someone on campus to challenge me like that. To say the least, Mrk was incredibly humble, extremely confidant, and shit was mutual. Basically, we been friends ever since, especially after he came into this head shop Buddha's Belly where i happened to be working, to find we both shared a love for visual art, amongst other things as well. ENTER, the keystone to it all, our other brother, from Brazil, via Hickory, NC- Gui/ Guilherme Tovares O'liveira (Doloveira). Together, us three(the stongest number there is) formed Konphlux(82's idea) after Gui wanted to start some kind of site. I just wanted to do some designs and have an outlet. It has become so much more since as a result of menes, his networking, and ultimately honest vibes about its growing. I could go on more about how influential he and i's mentor Kruma Kedar has been. Kruma has spent hours kicking that O.G. wisdom to us, but in a more spiritual way, and suggeste to me one of my favorite books; The Flower of Life(check it on wikipedia or something). Nonetheless, check out the flux as 82 just casually rips with ease in his bedroom cooling. Skanking. Again, you may find some technically sound guitarist/bassist out there who took suzuki in elementary school, but this dude is self-taught, begun like most w/ a lil acoustic he tuned by ear in the dorm, and now look! The rawness, or shall i say pureness in which he plays does it for me. I've never NOT felt some kind of emotion when i hear him play. Ok, check the flux.

i'd have to make an entirely different blog about his design stuff. crazy space age vector art, it gets reall nuts!!
