3/5 HUMAN - Prelude to War (free download)
3/5 HUMAN (born Marco Polo Santiago) is an emcee and producer from
Los Angeles, California. His name derives from America’s 3/5 Compromise of 1787
in which the Northern and Southern states formed an agreement to count each
slave as 3/5 of a person, thereby granting the South additional seats in
Congress, but preserving African-Americans’ status as slaves. Today, after
centuries of systematic oppression and exploitation, the majority of the world’s
population continues to struggle for equality, opportunity, and life. This
struggle is the inspiration for 3/5’s music.
3/5 HUMAN was drawn to
music at an early age and has spent the majority of his life rapping and playing
various instruments. In 2000, he began making beats and dedicated the next few
years to developing his craft as a producer. After being in various bands, 3/5
HUMAN decided to pursue a career as a solo artist and, in 2006, self released a
12-inch single titled "Live from 1600". Since then, he has recorded with Gangsta
Rap legend MC Eiht of Compton’s Most Wanted and 2Mex of the Visionaries/Look
Daggers. He has also performed throughout the US, opening for B-Real of Cypress
Hill, Immortal Technique, Dead Prez, The Psycho Realm, Ill Bill of La Coka
Nostra, 2Mex, LMNO, Busdriver, Aceyalone of Freestyle Fellowship and many
others.
While inspired by many styles of music, 3/5 HUMAN draws most of
his influence from Metal and socially conscious Hip-Hop of the 1980’s and early
90’s. Building upon this influence, 3/5 has created a unique sound that is
rooted in Hardcore Hip-Hop and infused with a Rock and Electronic edge. The
result is a blend of politically charged lyrics, aggressive vocal delivery, and
high-energy production. With the release of his debut EP, Prelude to War, 3/5
HUMAN delivers a six-track barrage of honest, unapologetic commentary on the
current social and political conditions facing us today. Whether addressing
youth violence in "Children of a Lesser God", police corruption in
"Police=Enemy", or poverty and corporate supremacy in "WW4", 3/5 hopes to
inspire self-empowerment and social action. Determined to share his message, 3/5
HUMAN is making Prelude to War available for free and encourages people to share
and distribute it at will.
