CURRENT PROJECTS
Albums in the works

Two albums are in the works right now: one will be discussing the Palestine/Israel conflict and the other one concerning the Toronto 18 Terrorism Case. Both of which will be discussed in great detail and released online via separate websites. We are aiming for a summer release. The albums will be EP's thus they will be 30-40 minutes in length each respectively.
 

WORDS OF SOLIDARITY
Welcome to CriticalMood.com

Thanks for taking the time to visit my website. On here you'll find all of the latest tracks I've been cutting lately -- older ones as well -- and also articles I've written on various political issues. While I definitely try to inform those who listen to my songs, there is no substitute for real education (self-taught or through an institution). Read, write and gain as many practical skills as you can, professional or otherwise.

Special thanks to 6th Militant and Blizz Kid for holding it down on the beat production tip. As well, credits go to Apollo for holding it down engineering many of my tracks when called upon. He's always good too whenever you need a hype man or a second voice on a track.

 

CAUSES & ISSUES OF CONCERN
Toronto 18 Terrorism Case
From LawIsCool.com

On June 2nd, 2006, 18 people in Toronto were arrested on terrorism charges. Several have since been released on bail or had the proceedings stayed. But activists have issues with the proceedings and treatment of the prisoners, citing lack of due process. The Globe and Mail reported:

"Some of the suspects charged in Canada’s most high-profile terrorism case are innocent and should be released, according to a key RCMP informant and prosecution witness."

The Canadian legal community have raised concerns on related cases, but there are still others such as the Toronto 18 deserving further attention. Although the Toronto18 case has been covered by a publication ban, a blog has been set up collecting information that has been release.

A Toronto artist, Critical Mood, created two songs criticizing issues surrounding the case, Built on Suspicion and Illegal Entrapment. We thought this was a quite creative way to advocate for legal reform and criticize contemporary issues in society. Critical Mood said of the case:

"It is impossible for someone to say that the burden of proof has been met, because everything is shrouded in mystery culminating on the refusal of the prosecution to have preliminary hearings. That in itself should cast a shadow of doubt on the prosecution’s case. …The defense has had zero opportunity to present their arguments in public, unlike the prosecution before the media ban."

The songs can be downloaded and lyrics can be read from here.
