Demegod's Journey: From Brooklyn Beats to Mount Vernon Vibes 🎤

 Welcome to a Realm of Transformation and Empowerment


At the intersection of artistry and activism, we delve into the world of Demegod, an inspiring artist, poet, and cultural catalyst whose journey resonates with hope and resilience. From the bustling streets of Brooklyn to the rich, cultural landscape of Mount Vernon, Demegod’s life experiences have crafted a powerful message—a call for transformation, unity, and self-empowerment. Join us in unraveling the narrative of a voice sharpened by life's trials and triumphs, richly resonating with culture, unity, and societal change.

The Birth of a Wordsmith: Early Roots in Brooklyn

Demegod was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn, and raised amidst the hip hop culture that defined an era. Cultivating his love for words at a young age, Demegod evolved from a poet contributing to a Harlem newspaper into a hip-hop luminary. Influenced by his cousin Ski and the power of literacy instilled by his grandmother, Demegod’s early life was a bridge between poetry and hip hop—a seamless transition from rhythm to rap.

Mount Vernon: A Melting Pot of Inspiration

Upon relocating to Mount Vernon, Demegod found himself in a community rich with musical legends like Heavy D and Pete Rock. It was here, amidst a tightly-knit community, that his musical and poetic talents further blossomed, driven by a desire to create not just music, but lasting impact.

Goons, Goblins, and Gods: A Sonic Call to Action

Through his album, “Goons, Goblins, and Gods,” Demegod addresses both the “nigga kingdom” and the conscious community, crafting music that bridges worlds and ignites unity. With tracks like “100 Moors,” Demegod delivers a rallying cry for melanin-rich communities to harness their collective strength and create global impact.

If God Could Rap: Words as a Divine Force

In his literary endeavor “If God Could Rap,” Demegod transforms song lyrics into introspective poetic narratives, urging reflection and embracing the full depth of rhythm as a poetic force. This is more than music; it’s a message—a call for introspection and evolution.

Polygyny More Wet: Redefining Relationships and Culture

With “Polygyny More Wet,” Demegod challenges conventional relationship norms, advocating for community collectivism. His work emphasizes cultural roots and communal growth, redefining how we perceive love, family, and societal structure.

From Faith to Financial Literacy: Empowering Communities

Faith is fundamental in Demegod's pursuits. His initiatives, through platforms like More Money Entertainment, extend beyond music—teaching financial literacy and the importance of investing in precious metals through partners like 7k Metals. His mission is to build generational wealth, breaking cycles and crafting new opportunities.

The Bigger Picture: A Movement for Transformation

Demegod’s endeavor is more than personal accolades; it is a movement for empowerment. Through music, literature, and educational workshops, he is a lightworker—a catalyst for knowledge and elevation, inspiring change one act, one word, one beat at a time.

Our mission here is simple. We bring you stories that inspire hope, resilience, and a whole lot of flavor. Today we dive in deep into the waters of the world of a very special guest,

who I got a chance to get connected with a little bit and know little bit more about him. I think you guys are gonna enjoy this creative powerhouse who's a true testament to the power of transformation and cultural voice. He's an artist, a poet, an activist, and a voice that truly echoes strength and unity. I'm talking about no other than the multifaceted wordsmith Demi-God. Yes, we got the brother, he's dynamic, he got rhymes that are sharp.

that could slice through New York's traffic. So let's get into it, man. Let's get into this journey. What's going on, Demi-God?

Demegod (01:01.525)
I'm

Demegod (01:05.373)
Everything's good. It's a pleasure to be here, brother. Pleasure.

Marcus Hart (01:08.652)
Yeah, man. Hey, man, try to edify you as much as possible, I hope I did a good job.

Demegod (01:14.739)
Nah, you did a great job. did a great job. Allah's blessing. Yup, that's a fact.

Marcus Hart (01:18.06)
Yeah. Hey, man, think it's, you know, kapos short of what your soul truly is, you know?

Demegod (01:25.205)
Islam, I appreciate that. I think that we all connected and you got light workers on the planet. Everybody's connected. Everybody's on different levels and every level is needed like a ladder. You know what saying? Every level is needed for us to rise together. Facts.

Marcus Hart (01:27.693)
Yeah.

Marcus Hart (01:44.278)
And facts, So like, mean, I don't want you to take us back a bit. They say Brooklyn got his own rhythm and Mount Vernon's got the soul. You've been molded by both. So tell us, how did these vibrant environments shape you into the force that you are today?

Demegod (01:55.061)
That's a fact.

Demegod (02:06.089)
Wow, that's a good question. I was born in Brownsville, Brooklyn and raised in Crown Heights till I aged about junior high school. And then I moved to Mount Vernon, New York. In Brooklyn, hip hop was, at that time, was very like, was universal. It wasn't international, but it was universal. Like it was already on the radio. You know what saying? We already had took over.

commercial music, because rock and roll had they they they time, you know what saying? the time when I really came into hip hop is when we basically took over the commercial airwaves and rap and hip hop was the number one genre of music. And it was, I got into hip hop from my cousin Ski, you know what saying? Free rock, my cousin, he locked up right now.

and Pennsylvania doing life in prison for a murder he didn't commit. And he was the first one to really bring the whole rap science to me. I started writing poetry at nine years old. So I used to write a poetry's corner for an old Harlem newspaper that my mother's friend used to publish. And every month they publish a new newspaper and I had to create a new poem.

So I had did that for some time and that influenced me with words. wanted to, I aspired to be a poet and poetry was my thing. Literary arts was really, I'm not even going to you. Literary, everything literary was my thing. My grandmother had me read newspapers, like reading and writing is, it comes together. you know what saying? My grandmother was already prepping me. I guess she knew.

that words was my thing. And she used to just give me newspaper articles, read this to me, read this to me, read this one to me and just read this to me, nine years old, 10 years old. So that sparked my wordplay to be able to go into, you know what I'm saying, go into the poetry. And then my background as far as my family background, as far as like the movement, the social movement of our people and

Demegod (04:30.677)
in America was basically rubbed off on me. So then I started to put that in my poetry. My poetry was mainly about social issues, slavery, you know what saying? The things that I was being pumped from school, from home. And my cousin Ski came with the rapping thing and I'm like, rap. I'll try it. I'll try it. I wrote my first rap.

And when I wrote my first rap, that was it. Like we did a song together. I did a song with him. He was already, he had tracks already. He was already moving. At the time he was going by Son of Bluntz out of Crown Heights, New York, Utica, Montgomery. Shout out to Utica Montgomery. And yeah, man. After that, was a history, man. I was like, yo, I wanna be a rapper. That was it. Like I wanna be a rapper. You know what mean?

Marcus Hart (05:29.774)
What I like about it is, you you describe it as a science, man, and we don't hear many people speak of it that way anymore. And I love that you took it back for us and put it out there that it is a science. And the fact that you've been involved in around the arts since nine, but maybe even a little bit.

before that, you he probably was in the womb, getting some of that wordplay going on. And that's good journey, man. That's a hero's journey. And they say every rapper's got a story and a beat to match it. When did music and poetry, you know, really come together? Because once he hooked up with Ski, he introduced you to the vocal part of this, but...

you know, the poetry part of you has always been there. So, was there a time where like these two forces came together and they shaped you into the artist you are now?

Demegod (06:27.189)
Yes sir.

Demegod (06:37.779)
Very nice question. appreciate your etiquette and your order of questioning, because that's Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon is where, that's where music, that's when I really started getting into, because now when I moved from Brooklyn to Mount Vernon, of course me and Ski, parted ways. My family stayed in Brooklyn, but my mother relocated to Mount Vernon.

When I got to Mount Vernon, Mount Vernon at the time was the epic center of music. we had C.L. Smooth, Pete Rock. They was legends, Heavy D. He was already on TV and doing movies already. And Denzel Washington come from out of here. know what I'm saying? Dick Clark. Like there's Felicia Richard. This place is a melting pot of Sidney Poitier.

Marcus Hart (07:26.604)
Yeah.

Demegod (07:37.961)
You know what saying? They all was in Mount Vernon at some point or another, whether they was born here or moved here and picked up on a lingo and was a part of the gumbo pot of culture. That affected me. I met Heavy D. I was good, you know what saying? I became good friends with Pete Rock, the mega producer at the time, still is one of the greatest producers ever.

Marcus Hart (08:05.272)
Yeah.

Demegod (08:06.261)
And that right there was influence, you know what saying? He influenced me. We got songs together. yeah, Mount Vernon at the time was just like, and what's intricate about Mount Vernon, it's only four square miles. So a lot of people might think Mount Vernon is upstate New York, but Mount Vernon is the Bronx. know what saying? 241st White Plains Road. You're on one side of the street. You could go to Rackers Island.

You get caught on other side of the street doing crime, you can go on to Valhalla, the county jail. There's no water separating us. There's no, you know what saying? There's no fields, there's nothing. You cross the street, you're in the Bronx. You across the street, you're in Mount Vernon. So I think people get the misconception about the placement of where Mount Vernon sits on the map. But it's a four square miles east to west, four square miles north to south. It's really not a big town.

Marcus Hart (08:45.538)
Yeah.

Demegod (09:04.029)
everybody know each other. But what's very special about the town is that it used to be predominantly our people, you know what saying? I don't like to use the word black. We got the Fez right here. I'm a Moore. So we don't call ourselves blacks and African-American. We don't even acknowledge those terms. Those are social constructs. So I would say the Moors.

in Mount Vernon. Mount Vernon was ran by Morris businesses. It was kind of like a little black Wall Street. You know what saying? We had the Morris mayor, Morris police commissioner. So at the time now, not so much as far as businesses has been gentrified, of course. And they moved a lot of our people out. You know what saying? Businesses that we create don't flourish anymore. So we know they move and direct us and

as they want, you know what saying? So yeah, that's what I loved about Malvernin, but that's where the music aspect, that's when I started really hitting the studio, you know what I'm saying? Really like, okay, we going in the studio, I'm doing my own song, I'm three 16s, you know I'm saying? Two eight bar choruses, and they don't even do that no more in hip hop, you know what I'm They don't even do that no more in hip hop. So yeah, Malvernin was the music part.

Marcus Hart (10:30.548)
I love it, man. You just gave us a real good history lesson. And the way you describe it, it's the perfect box, but like it's a good box. You know what saying? Grab all that influence, have all of that, know, middle end, just all in that box there, And I never really, really knew the true...

history and to get someone who was there, breathed it, walked it. You mentioned like some top hitters, man. Heavy D, rest in peace.

I can't say enough, You along those lines, you had a lot of torchbearers that lit the path for you. These folks made you want to grab the mic and the pad.

Demegod (11:22.485)
That's a fact. And that's just the beginning though. You know, that's just what, that was the baby era of Demi-Guard. The teenage and young man of Demi-Guard, DMX, Rough Riders, D Block, you know what saying? So for me, it's just a constant bombardment of influence. You know what I'm saying? It's a constant.

Marcus Hart (11:25.709)
Yeah.

Marcus Hart (11:30.434)
Yeah.

Demegod (11:52.349)
Shout out the Rough Rodder, shout out the D Block, RP DMX, RP Heavy D, but that's all family, Mount Vernon, Yonkers, Brand Nubian, shout out the Lord, you know what saying, Grand Puba, know what I'm saying, Sadat X, all influences, all right here with me. Like I'm right, I can go right to the next town over and see Brand Nubian. You know what mean, they legends. So this is, that's.

Marcus Hart (12:19.862)
That's crazy.

Demegod (12:21.439)
Bought melt and

Marcus Hart (12:23.864)
Yeah, that's crazy, man. What a time, man. What a time to be alive, you know, during that area. I bet when you was down in there, people, they say, man, I'm gonna spit it like they owe me lunch money. Yeah. Yeah.

Demegod (12:44.415)
Back then you had to be a spitter. know what I'm saying? It's not like how it is now. You know what mean? Back then, you had to be somebody to rap back then. Or you couldn't rap or come outside. You know what I'm saying? Now I

Marcus Hart (12:57.966)
Oh yeah, can tell you go back in the house.

Demegod (13:02.745)
So, you know, now dudes is rapping to be somebody, you know what saying? So it's backwards, like, you know what saying? You have to be somebody to rap. You couldn't just come out talking a whole bunch of stuff. People could didn't believe you. You had to be really like living it to a certain degree. But we see that now and in the drill, you know what saying? But like gentrification, we being directed and navigated.

Marcus Hart (13:08.46)
What? It is.

Demegod (13:32.105)
to a certain frequency, it's the same thing with the drill. You gotta be living that, you know what saying? And they have reversed the trajectory of the public enemy vibe, jungle brother vibe, Queen Latifah vibe, you know what saying? The Nas vibe of the 90s, Rakim vibe, Wu Tang vibe. They have changed the trajectory of the music to drill.

and where they got these young boys killing each other just to prove that they live in their lyrics, you feel me? So.

Marcus Hart (14:07.47)
That's real talk, man. And speaking of getting into real talk, you dropped the album Goons, Goblins, and Guys. And it got folks talking. It inspired this powerhouse of a project. I really want to know, and I know the audience want to know what themes were front and center.

Demegod (14:27.413)
I think goons, goblins and gods, see my whole thing is my niche and what I want to be my niche, because you don't never know what the people are going to gravitate to or how the people are going to place you. You could artists as creators, we put our stuff out and we put ourselves out there, but you never know how the critics and how society, the people, we the people who run this, they place you in.

Marcus Hart (14:39.629)
Mm-hmm.

Demegod (14:56.511)
paradigms. So I don't know what paradigm they're put me in, but this is the paradigm I'm shooting for. I'm shooting to take the nigga kingdom to pop. One of my favorite artists and who I feel is one of the greatest artists of all time when it comes to rappers. He said, he used to talk a lot about the nigga kingdom. know, America has, we all know America has two different societies, even though on TV,

They only show one, but there's an underground of America, and predominantly our people are in the underground. So that's the nigga kingdom. The nigga kingdom is everything that niggas like. You feel what I'm saying? We already know we have a nigga culture. You understand? And black culture and nigga culture is kind of like not too far from, you know what I'm saying? lot of Christians and a lot of

Marcus Hart (15:45.71)
See you.

Demegod (15:55.733)
Black nationalist groups probably don't want to admit it, but the Black kingdom and the nigger kingdom is not too far from each other. So exactly, exactly. So I want to cater my content, my books, my music, my movies, and the scripts that I write and the things, the content that I plan to bring to the people to spark the minds of both communities.

Marcus Hart (16:05.198)
It's synonymous in a way, you know? Definitely synonymous.

Demegod (16:24.297)
the conscious community. So we got the nigga kingdom and we got the conscious community. The conscious community within the last five years has seen a rise with the brothers of like Dr. Omar Johnson and brothers like my son and other brothers out there that's on an internet spreading truth and teaching truth and bringing awareness about things. this, we've seen a rise of the conscious community with the Israelites, with the Moors.

with the black Muslims, with the Assa Asset Society, with... It's a lot of black nationalist groups that we on the rise consciously. So we're seeing a renaissance, a new renaissance in art. And it's always a battle, but I want to have a balance. I don't just want to cater music to the nigga kingdom.

Marcus Hart (17:04.738)
Yeah.

Demegod (17:21.695)
Cause I'm from the nigga kingdom, you know what saying? But I know that the nigga kingdom needs brothers like me that been there, that hold some type of weight, you feel me? The big homie, you know what I'm saying? The big brother, you know what mean? We don't need to leave the community and never come back and live this life of luxury in the California hills. I feel that every big homie

and every artist has a duty socially, regardless of the genre of your music, you have a duty socially to come back and do something. So Goons, Goblins and Gods is the beginning and the embodiment of that. Goons, Goblins, Gods. So I got music on there for the nigga kingdom. I got music on there for the conscious kingdom. And that's it meshed together.

Goons, Gobblers, and Gods is hard, man. I listen to it back myself and I just, I always do a third party. know what saying? I'm sure I'm not the only artist that do that. We do that, artists do that. We do third party. We step out of ourselves and just try to like really critique what we doing. But yeah, man, Goons, Gobblers, and Gods is, it speaks to the testament of the foundation of nigga kingdom, conscious kingdom.

Marcus Hart (18:35.266)
Yeah.

Marcus Hart (18:51.918)
I like how you gave us an illustration of that. And that really does help us like pry into, you know, what you really, you know, trying to get out. And I think 100 mores, it's a real good rallying call, you know, unifying the echo that really give us the inside scoop of the core message that you're trying to put out to everyone that has this melanin in their skin, you know.

and that's part of the Americas, should we say. So like, in your own words, what's that core message? I know you spoke to it.

Demegod (19:25.557)
That's a fact. That's a fact.

Demegod (19:32.757)
That Mores is very, very, yo, that 100 Mores is important. And right now, sometimes it take people a little time to catch on, but that 100 Mores is for the little, little, little, little brothers out there that's gang banging, you know what saying, committing crimes. They don't really get the other side. So that song, 100 Mores is a call.

for the gangs to come together, unify under melanin-ship. You know what saying? You have melanin in your skin and this is prevalent in the federal penitentiary. So that's why it's important for the song because the Young Brothers don't really know the environment of the federal penitentiary. So they out here in the world and they living the way they live in, but there's a whole nother world in there.

And I don't care what gang you a part of, when you come in there, you down with melanin shit, you heard? Because everything is race. So you got the Aryan Brotherhood, you got the Mexican cartels, they deep in there, and you got race wars. So it don't matter what gang you in, you can be blood, you can be crip, you can be whatever you wanna be. But guess what? You either in the BGF,

Marcus Hart (20:39.224)
Right, you better be. Yeah.

Demegod (21:01.333)
or you in the UBN car? United Blood Nation or Black Gorilla Family? Shout out to George Jackson, Jonathan Jackson, the Soulbad Brothers, where that whole thing started, you know what saying? But the young brothers need to know that. And it's trickling out in the street. We see, though us as a people, we never been on race. You know what saying? We have cookouts and barbecues.

Europeans could come walk over, we gonna get them a plate, treat them like they, we don't see race. We never seen race. The indigenous of America helping the pilgrims, a taller soil. We never saw race. Yeah, you look different from us. You got gray eyes, blue eyes, blonde hair, red hair, but we know you're a creature of Allah. Allah has created you. You know what saying? You are creation of the higher power.

So our people have always had a wholesome, wholesomeness with us. You feel what I'm saying? But every time we talk about unity, Europeans or Jewish people or other races in American communities start to talk like we race, we are race, racists. If we talk about any type of unity or sticking together, that's racist. How is that racist? When y'all have,

Marcus Hart (22:01.304)
Yeah.

Marcus Hart (22:15.342)
Yeah.

Demegod (22:24.275)
Y'all communities here, y'all have y'all businesses here that cater to y'all. And this is our country, this is our land. So why can't we unify? So 100 More's is that warrior drum. That's that warrior drum to say, yo, listen, man, it's time to come together. It's time to stop killing each other. You know what saying? I'm not saying you can't be gangster. You could be gangster. You could rep your set, you could rep your hood.

but understand the ramifications of what's going on in the broader aspect of the world, not just your block. You understand? Understand your actions holds higher ramifications for reverberates all around the world, You know what mean? You can't kill a brother and think that it doesn't reverberate all around the world. So everything we do, we got to understand that unity is the number one, number one force love and unity.

facts. 100 mores man 100 mores.

Marcus Hart (23:20.11)
Thanks.

thing about it is, you you pointed out something interesting, I caught it, is that like we can look at someone who's not our race or don't look like us with these Allah's eyes, know, Allah, the divine God, whatever you call them, you know, we can, we can, you can put on those, those lenses and see people as they are, as a creation of

of the most high, but we struggle to do it with each other. You we look at somebody, know, we would tear their whole character down and forget the fact that like, you know, you look like me and we come from something higher, you know, and the fact that we're the same, you know, you don't have to be an intellect construct, but the fact that we share the same bloodline.

you know, why is it so hard for us to just to come together? But music speaks volumes. And when you put on a track that everybody is vibing to, that's the best time when you see everybody come together. So how do you see tracks like the 100 Moors catalyzing this real social change that we need out on the streets and beyond? You spoke of federal penitentiary. I had a little stink.

You know, myself with the feds, you know, I thank God I didn't go to records, but yeah, I had a little steak with the feds, but you know, this is the message that we got to get out here, man. How can this, tracks like this, do it?

Demegod (25:06.611)
Well, for one, I wanna say when a European comes into the federal penitentiary, they are given an ultimatum. The ultimatum is you either get down with us or be alone. To get down with us, you have to rape or kill a Morris brother, a melanin brother, a...

copper skin brother. So just understand the ramifications of numbers. Let's just do the numbers. If their membership is 10,000 strong in federal penitentiary, that's 10,000 brothers that took an L because the initiation off rip is to kill or rape one. You understand? So this stat right there is for one. For two,

The reason why we can't come together is because we underestimate our opponent. Our opponent uses television, music, even fashion, every aspect of our society to brainwash and program us to be how we are. You understand? Our people went through some

Marcus Hart (26:13.422)
Mmm.

Demegod (26:33.585)
It ain't, know, people say, well, you know, he made his own choices to go to prison. Did he? He made his own choices to sell drugs. Did he? Did he? So we got to really start the conversation with common sense and intellect and reason, conductive reasoning is a word that I love because

using conductive reason and points out those factors that this is why people can't stick together. It's not because they don't want to stick together. It's that they are dealing with just like a mental illness. It's a programming of the mind. Control a man's mind and you control his body. Hit the head, the body will fall. So we got to understand these things that we indulge into, even the music, the frequency.

Speaking of speaking the reason I'm getting to it. I'm you see I'm leading up to it the frequency of the music is One of the tools that they use to brainwash the youth So the images and the music the music make you feel good You see the images of the beautiful women money jewelry cars everybody looking happy and the frequency of the mute that's programming so now whenever you see those images

you get them same feelings you had when you was in the club. You know what saying? When you get the idea of being a part of a gang and letting your gun go, you get those same exhilarating drug high, natural high feelings that you had in the club when the music is on and all of those things is permanent. So, Hundred Mores is a reverse.

Get me? The vibration. If you hear my cadence on it, it's a frequency. It's a frequency that's opposite. It's drill. It's drill music. It's a drill song. But the frequency is bringing us the opposite direction than where they've been taking it. And that's what I did. That's why I did it.

Marcus Hart (28:49.4)
Yeah, with those lyrics, man, I'm surprised the paper didn't catch fire with the mic. So, you you was definitely channeling, you know, all that unity, you know, through a megaphone or something. Yeah, man. Yeah. Hey, man, I'm really enjoying this conversation. You know, I'm really feeding. I know the audience is too. So for those out there right now, I want you to like, you know,

Demegod (29:02.933)
In fact, want that song to ring through time.

Marcus Hart (29:17.998)
Stop what you're doing right now and go check out some of the music. Like, comment, or subscribe to this particular episode if you're still right here. We're going to take a quick break, let some of our sponsors pay the bills for us, and we'll be right back with Demi-God. Let's get it.
Marcus Hart (00:00.874)
DJ Potential here aka Mark Kinsad, the government, and don't get it twisted, but we definitely been dropping some gems here. Demi God has given us a history lesson and then opened up a treasure chest of things that we can cling onto. So now we've got to go beyond the music in this next segment or two and really just unfold some things that you guys might want to...

die further into. So you're not just dropping albums then, you got, you you unfold the stories and books too. If God could rap, that title alone is enough to make a preacher not so, so share what that project means to you and how lyrics morph into poetry.

Demegod (00:43.351)
Good.

Demegod (00:48.898)
Well, the book, if God could rap, it's gonna be a series. So right now, part one is out and I got a copy right here for the people. It's on Amazon right now, you can go get that. My author, Monica, is Hafeez Bey. H-A-F-I-S-B-E-Y. So if God could rap is a powerful, powerful book.

because it's the lyrics from my songs. So a lot of my songs that's out on iTunes right now, know, all streaming platforms, a lot of the lyrics were put into short form, which is a form of like how Nostradamus, if anybody's familiar with Nostradamus book, Nostradamus has wrote his books in quadrant.

And quadrenes are small pieces of words to bring about, to spark about a thought, but to keep it isolated and focused on the power of the two or three sentences that's there and not bombard the person with a bunch of words before they can even get a understanding, a deep, deep understanding of the quadrant.

So yeah, we did that. We took the lyrics from our songs and we took what we felt were the heaviest parts, the most important parts, and we created quadrants. And I'm gonna do with Garth can rap too. I'm gonna do with Garth can rap three. And that's gonna be my poetry series. Whoa.

Marcus Hart (02:41.11)
And that put me in some deep, deep thought about that, man. Because the stuff that go to hardest, you definitely channeled it from somewhere on a different frequency level. So the fact that like that title speaks perfectly to that. Man, I hope people catch the caught that, you know, I hope people really, that really entice people to want to go and check out that book and then do some own self reflection on different periods.

in their life where, you know, these ideas, these word plays, this artistic side of us, you know, it's coming from somewhere, man. We tap it in deep. And I appreciate that book. I appreciate that a lot. I'm going to grab you a couple copies, Yeah, because that's going give me some own self-reflection, you know, and that, yeah.

Demegod (03:35.008)
It's crazy too. Another thing is that rap, people don't know what rap mean. So that's another reason why I put the book out is because people don't know that rap means rhythm and poetry. That's the acronym for rap. That's why they call it rap. So, you know, I did a, I have a podcast that I be, you know, I like to speak to the people. you know, I do speaking events.

and I record them and sometimes I just go out in the community with a mic and I just talk to the people. I was in Times Square, go to my YouTube, you can see I was in Times Square, I had merchandise, I had money, I had cash, I was giving out money and I was just running up on people just asking them and giving them a shot and letting them know if you get it right, you either get a free hoodie, free sweatshirt or you get $50 cash right now. If you could tell me

what the acronym for rap mean. And nobody answered right. Nobody.

Marcus Hart (04:40.44)
Wow, nobody? Whoa.

Demegod (04:44.664)
Nobody knew that rap meant rhythm and poetry. So that solidified that the book is needed. You feel me? The book was needed. And it's an educational tool because right now, like I said, we're talking about drill and we're talking about track. Those two genres don't focus on lyrical, lyrical, lyrical wordplay. Those genres have

other things that they focus on to make them the genres that they are. But those genres are not rap. It's not, that's why they call it, they don't call it rap. They call it trap. That's why they don't call drill rap. It's drill because for you to have a rap song or for you to rap, you gotta have rhythm and poetry. R-A-P, just like rhythm and blues, R and B.

rap is rhythm and poetry. So if you ain't got the poetry and you don't have the emphasis of making sense with your words and really sending a message, then you're not really rapping. So that puts it in perspective, literally, Literally. Literally.

Marcus Hart (06:00.79)
Yeah, it's definitely literally. And that shows you how much the culture has shifted, man. We have shifted into this world where we're just microwaving every dog or thing. And we have left our divine nature, and we're not tapping in like we should. People should be tapping in instead of like, you know, they.

They want the dopamine, you know? They want the dopamine. They're so addicted to the dopamine. But they don't realize there's another way to get that dopamine, you know? And that's just echoing what we talked about with 100 More and the album. But let's talk some literature, man. You got a really interesting title here, oligomy, more wet.

Demegod (06:38.872)
That's a fact. That's a fact. That's a fact.

Marcus Hart (06:56.942)
It's challenging the norms that we see, breaking some chains and redefining relationships, which is a societal problem in our culture especially. How does this book resonate with today's society and spiritual growth?

Demegod (07:14.83)
It's another one of my favorites, Polygonie Morwe for the people. Go get that. It's on Amazon and it's on our Morish website, Khalifa Media, C-A-L-I-F-A, media.com. But Polygonie Morwe, I've always been a person that's been a visionary. And a lot of the, even now, a lot of the music that I'm even dropping now.

It's 10 years old. Feel me? 10 years old. 15 years old. I got some songs 15 years old that could rock right now. So sometimes creators create and they get discouraged because, you know, it doesn't catch on right now or people aren't ready for it right now, or they get backlash from their creations right now. But Allah works in mysterious ways. So

Sometimes your creations aren't full right now. Sometimes you are really before your time. And I really feel I press myself on being a visionary and trying to see the trajectory of where our communities are going. We come from single mother homes. We come from Jim Crow. We come from the welfare system. We come from gentrification.

and other aspects of our lives. So this book is a call for us to honor our mothers and fathers. So a lot of times people like to regurgitate scriptures from the Bible, but a lot of times we don't really understand the deep ramifications of words because in the Bible it says the power is in the word and the word is with God.

So rap lyrics and words and books, words are powerful. Sometimes just as powerful as the frequency of the music. So we have to know and understand that in the word.

Demegod (09:26.584)
polygony, more wet, and culture is honoring our mothers and fathers. That saying honor thy mother, honor thy father has nothing to do with your biological mother and father.

Marcus Hart (09:40.588)
Hmm. Hmm. That was deep.

Demegod (09:42.286)
figure that one out. So a lot of people don't understand like, so honor thy mother and thy father means the ancestry line of male and female from which all of us come from. You must honor your ancestors, the ones that paved the way before you because they did things for a reason. Listen, our ancestors were great.

Our ancestors fueled this whole world with education. We brought mathematics, we brought science. We are the architects of civilization. So while we go into other people.

for ways of how we should treat each other, love each other, how we should father, how we should rear our children, how we should teach our children. We should stop going to other races because these other races honor their mothers and fathers because they honor their culture. They honor their ancestors. There's certain things that they do in their tradition.

that they would die or kill before they change it. It's been like that for thousand years, 5,000 years, and we're gonna continue to do it that way because they know that their ancestors had a good reason for doing it that way. So when we talk about polygony more wet, we have baby mothers, we have broken homes, we have men, mass incarcerated,

How do we combat that? The Sankofa bird in Africa folklore, the Sankofa bird is a message of returning back from what you came so you can see where you're going. The Sankofa bird is a bird in Africa that has the ability to turn its head all the way around, even with its buttocks and look behind him.

Demegod (11:59.114)
So that bird and that symbol is the ramifications of polygony more wet. It's about returning to the culture of our ancestors. European women have our women thinking polygony is bad and degrades the woman. But from my research, and that's what the book is about, the book is not saying that everybody should practice polygony. No, that's not, it takes

strong people, exceptional people. Everybody in the Bible that practice multi-relationships, because it's not just polygony. You have polyamory, you have just village. It takes a village to raise a child is a African proverb that comes from societies that practice this unification, this collectivism and not.

individualism. Western society, European society is based off of individualism. Our societies were based off of collectivism. We never leave no child behind. We never leave no woman behind. That's polygony. You understand? So, so all of that, I can't share my husband. If you, if, if, you have a man and he has two other baby mothers, whether he's having sex with them or not, that's polygony.

Marcus Hart (13:02.83)
Yeah.

Demegod (13:24.514)
because he has to make sure those other households have food, clothes and shelter. If he's doing, I'm not talking about the deadbeat dads. We already know the deadbeat dads. We talking about men who stand up and take care of their families. You understand? So if a man has children with multiple women, that's polygony. So what deteriorates our community is that the women don't understand that they need to be coming together.

Marcus Hart (13:42.178)
Yeah.

Demegod (13:54.402)
They need to be coming together. They need to be building. How come he got three baby mothers and they all get their nails done and they go to the Asians to get their nails done, but they all three of them get $10,000 every year in tax returns. They need to be putting that together collectively, opening their own nail salon and showing their children how to conduct business and be self-sufficient.

Marcus Hart (13:54.798)
Mmm.

Marcus Hart (14:21.474)
Yeah. Facts.

Demegod (14:23.564)
So that's what polygony is really. It's not about having sex with multiple women. We doing that anyway. Y'all not stopping that. That's not stopping. That's happening anyway. Man, it's gonna do like, that's not stopping. But our ancestors knew, okay, how do we curb this where it doesn't hurt our children and it doesn't hurt our women? Polygony is something that we can implement.

Marcus Hart (14:33.464)
Yeah.

Marcus Hart (14:49.08)
Mm.

Demegod (14:52.266)
in our societies once we ready because I believe you know everything ain't for everybody man this is what it is man

Marcus Hart (15:02.284)
This is a real, real serious topic and talk, man, that's really a good way to kick off this, what they call it, the Black history, but energy, which, you know, I got my quorums about it. You know, I think it does limit what you mentioned about, you know, honor your father and your mother, the ancestral line and...

acknowledging where we truly come from versus this individualism, this Western idea of like, you know, let's only edify this person for the success and accomplishments. And, you know, I mean, that's great and dandy, but the validity aspect that you just gave us the construct of that, you know, how do we move ourselves as a people without

looking at the foundation that was already built for us, you know, instead of like trying to adapt into something that's that always even come natural to us, man, you know. So I really love that. I really love that, you you gave us a deep dive into that. I think that's beholden to what's today. So.

Demegod (16:10.254)
Exactly.

Marcus Hart (16:26.296)
There's a pillar, man, that stands strong in your work and it's very evident in the way you talk. Faith, man. know, people got their own ideas of faith. Some people shy away from faith. know, how does faith weave its way into your music, your pan, and your activist work?

Demegod (16:31.341)
Mm-hmm.

Demegod (16:46.126)
Faith is another force. Like there's forces in this world that we attribute to things that we don't really understand because we have a low level of understanding or a limited level of understanding. By design, the powers that be who control the religions.

in the academia, they're not giving us the true meaning of these powers. Faith, faith is a force. It's not something to believe.

I'm gonna say that again, faith is a force. It's not something to believe because belief has no ground.

Marcus Hart (17:43.822)
waivers.

Demegod (17:45.494)
Belief, you can believe whatever you want to believe. But is it fact? Is it real? Is it tangible? That's the difference between being a scientist and being a believer. A believer can believe that the sky is red and elephants are raining from the clouds. A believer can...

go all the way with that belief until the day they die. But what is really the facts? So faith is a force that I use. I have faith in my higher power. I have faith in myself. And then I have faith in my people. So that's why I do what I do. And I go against the odds every day.

Everything I create is going against the odds. Like, you know what saying? I don't have the diamonds and all. I'm not doing all that. I want to attract who has that same faith. You understand? So everything ain't, I ain't for everybody. I ain't for everybody. I'm cool with that. That's not why I'm here. That's not why I ain't incarnated. That's not why I ain't incarnated in this time. I ain't incarnated in this time to bring exactly what I'm bringing.

and to do exactly what I'm doing. And whoever vibes with me will continue to support my creativity. And who doesn't? I know that everything is not for everybody, like I said. So everybody's on a different level. Even viewers listening to this conversation. Some of the things we speaking about may go over their heads, but years later, that's how it happens. Years later.

you get that aha moment and you go back. Let me go back to that podcast. Let me go back to that show and hear that over again because that sparked something that I'm just now realizing and faith has something to do with all of that, man. If you don't have no faith, you can't even get there. Faith is loss.

Marcus Hart (20:05.258)
Yeah, it's definitely a force, you know, they say dropping seeds, and that seed is either going to grow or it's not going to grow. And it's faith that pushes that seed to grow into like what it's supposed to be. And there's scripture, you know, when you get into the Christian mindset.

or however you want to put it, the Christ frequency, that, you know, he says that a buster seed can move a mountain. So that was the hint right there. You know, you can't sit up there and believe and try to manifest a mountain. You have to go, you know, go do it, go see it, you know, take the seed, step in, drop it to you, and move it.

Demegod (20:46.446)
I was in here right there.

Demegod (21:02.796)
Movement. Movement. People don't understand. People don't understand. They got us complacent. They got us praying and waiting for God to... And Allah is like, I gave you the power of choice. I gave you power of creation. I gave you the power of movement. You know what saying? And we talk about Christianity, right? I'm part of the Morris Science Temple of America. It's only my duty to mention

Marcus Hart (21:04.43)
Movement man!

Yeah.

Marcus Hart (21:18.862)
Right.

Mm-hmm.

Demegod (21:32.878)
the More Science Temple of America. I'm a missionary, speaker, and teacher from the More Science Temple of America. This is my fans right here. You know what saying? Marcus Garvey, one of our forerunners, Noble Juali, the honorable Noble Juali. If we didn't have quick, real quick, Noble Juali, he don't get no props. But if it wasn't for Noble Juali,

We wouldn't have Master Fahd Mohammed. We wouldn't have Elijah Mohammed. We wouldn't have had Malcolm X. We wouldn't have had Jeff Fort. Let's talk about Jeff Fort in Chicago. A lot of people, doing life in prison right now and they always pumping, he was a gangster. Nah, he was a revolutionary leader for at that time. You understand? All of these brothers have some connection to the moral science temple of America and being a more.

Elijah Poole Bay, like my name is Demetrius Bay. Elijah Muhammad, original name is Elijah Poole Bay because he was part of the Morris Science Temple of America. Jeff Fort, the chief, was part of the Morris Science Temple of America. The fort that they had in Chicago was for the Moors, the Fezzes. So I bring that up to say that Morris Science is something that

Nobu Jualid brought from the East to the West in 1920 at a time when we was coming out of slavery. We couldn't read and write. There was a lot of things happening and this man is coming bringing Islamism, the culture. A lot of people understand you have Islam, the religion, but then you have Islam, the culture. Religions come from cultures.

Cultures birth religions and not the other way around You understand so Islam was a culture before it became a secular religion you understand so Islam ism is that culture and more is science Deals with Islam ism more is science we study Yahshua not Jesus because Jesus is a character

Demegod (23:58.766)
that's blonde-haired blue-eyed. Subconsciously, when you hear Jesus, you see a blonde-haired blue-eyed man. But when you hear Yahshua, that's his true and real identification name, and you're gonna deal with his true appearance. Hair of wool, skin of bronze, copper, copper-colored. You understand? So when you deal, we deal with Yahshua, we deal with Confucius.

Marcus Hart (24:15.906)
Mm-hmm.

Demegod (24:28.436)
another man who brought the science of the chi. Confucius was a Moor. He was an Asian, slanted eyes, everything Asian, but his skin had melamine. He was a Moor. Muhammad, we follow Muhammad and the teachers of Muhammad, the prophet Muhammad. And we follow Buddha. That's four directions, east,

Marcus Hart (24:44.312)
Yeah.

Demegod (24:57.772)
West, North, South. Just like you have the five fingers of death to master martial arts, you have to learn the five techniques. It's the same type of science. The four sciences that we deal with is Buddha, and Buddha teaches us detachment, the science of the breath, and the science of not connecting yourselves to the things of the world.

separating yourself from the things of the world that drag you down. Buddha brought a science, Muhammad brought a science. So no one prophet brings, has it all. So what are we really fighting about? What is really all the religions fighting about? Because if you study all four of these prophets, they all intertwine. They all intertwine. You know what saying? They speak about Yahshua going on a pilgrimage to Tibet.

and learning and sitting down with the masters in Tibet. Then Yashua going to India and sitting down with the Moors in India and getting that science. And he probably had a pilgrimage other places as well where they had masters. So he was born and then he's 30. What happened in between those times? That was his pilgrimage. That's when he was learning from all sciences.

Marcus Hart (26:21.677)
Yeah.

Demegod (26:27.552)
and cultures from around the world. And that's how he became a master of all sciences and cultures around the world. You can become a master of all sciences and cultures around the world. You can do everything Yahshua did, everything Buddha did, everything Confucius did, everything Muhammad did. Me and you can do. If we put forth the effort to master ourselves in the sciences,

Marcus Hart (26:51.086)
Mm-hmm.

Demegod (26:57.258)
of the masters before us. So that's what that's what the science of the Fez like. The science of the Fez is the woman. The woman, we wear the woman on our head because we know the melanin woman is the one who brings about the future, which is the children and the sustenance that brings the children life.

whether it's intellect, emotional intelligence, spiritual intelligence. We honor our women in more science, unlike black culture and nigger culture who degrades their women because they're taught to degrade their women. But your woman, your woman is the key to our salvation. Our women are the keys to our salvation and redemption. We uplift her.

Marcus Hart (27:44.247)
Mm-hmm.

Demegod (27:55.084)
we uplift ourselves. I ain't gonna beat you in the head, because we could be here for hours, you know what saying?

Marcus Hart (27:57.422)
Hmm.

I, Demi-God, I have no issues with it, because your message aligns perfectly with our show's vision and our company's vision of like, transformation through faith. Yeah, we gotta break on again, you know? Yeah, yeah, so. So like, man, you you gave us some deep insights, and sometimes we gotta simplify it for, you know, our everyday folks who's out there hustling.

Demegod (28:12.79)
So bring me on again, man, bring me on. Yeah, make me a part of it, man, make me a part. I would love to.

Marcus Hart (28:33.07)
and they burning themselves out, they don't know why they burning themselves out, they're their head against the wall, you know, or they on the hamster wheel, so to speak. So, you know, how do we turn these things into practical empowering advice for those people?

Demegod (28:50.222)
You asked the right questions, the people out there, people out there, appreciate your host because everything that I have to bring you, to bring you up out of that hamster wheel, to bring you up out of ignorance, to bring you into self-realization, you understand? And having confidence in yourself and self-motivation, he asked the right questions.

Marcus Hart (28:53.104)
Alright.

Marcus Hart (29:00.547)
Yeah.

Demegod (29:18.636)
Yeah, so let's get into it. Let's get it. Let's get it. Financial literacy. So my company is called More Money Entertainment. Of course, I started my company based off of multimedia, books, music, movies, TV, podcasts, granted. OK. But then I had an aha moment. And while being in the community, I seen a need

Marcus Hart (29:20.952)
Let's get it!

Demegod (29:47.872)
for what my aha aha moment entails. Financial literacy is very, very important and it's missing in our community. So our people that's hustling, especially the hustlers, especially the young brothers that's scamming and they getting money hand in hand, what you gonna do with the money? People that's working, the hardworking brothers and sisters out there, on that hamster wheel, how do you get off of it?

Marcus Hart (29:58.637)
Yeah.

Demegod (30:18.178)
Well, my company and my movement, we are going to bring financial literacy and we're going to bring financial resources to show you how the wealthy build wealth. One thing we deal with is precious metals. So what my company does, my company plays the middleman between other companies and other nonprofits and initiatives that we feel

could benefit our people. We meticulously picked these companies and these people that we feel could help our people. We have a platform called 7K Metals that we have partnered with. More Money Entertainment has partnered with 7K Metals, which is investing in precious metals, gold, silver, platinum. Our people aren't taught this. Our people only know jewelry.

We go to the jewelry store, we buy jewelry, but little do we know we're not getting pure gold and silver from the jewelry store. It's just like the drug game, that cocaine, that heroin is cut by the time it gets to the street, it's not pure no more. thing with the jewelry. So when y'all going out there and y'all buying these Cuban links and y'all buying these diamond chains and gold chains, you wasting your money.

Marcus Hart (31:24.376)
Mm-hmm.

Marcus Hart (31:33.4)
Yeah, it's not what it's...

Demegod (31:45.954)
because the gold is not pure, the silver is not pure, it's being mixed with other metals and being watered down and it's losing value. So that's why when you go to the pawn shop, the jury is worth nothing when you go to try to get your money back. It's worth, first of all, he's not gonna give you because that's how he make money, but then he actually puts it under the microscope and you don't know what he looking at. You thinking it's official.

Marcus Hart (32:07.224)
Mm-hmm.

Demegod (32:15.042)
But he look at the scene, it's cut with copper, it's cut with iron, it's cut with all these different base metals that loses the value. So now he tell you, I give you a hundred dollars. You like what I paid. You know how much I paid for this? A hundred dollars a year. So the platform, 7K platform, you could go on a platform. It's a private platform. The public is not open to the public.

Marcus Hart (32:15.278)
you

Marcus Hart (32:31.246)
Yeah, it's facts.

Demegod (32:42.946)
You have to be referred and sponsored by a member already. I am your sponsor. So if you go on the website, 7K Metals, and you want to become a member, there's videos. have educational videos that teach you about precious metals. It teach you about the gold and silver market. It teaches you about inflation. teaches you about the dollar, the history behind the dollar, and why the dollar is not as valuable as it was.

Marcus Hart (32:47.106)
Mmm.

Demegod (33:12.238)
50 years ago. So all of these things but Demetrius Bay, that's your sponsor. Yeah, I'm hustling right now.

Marcus Hart (33:22.208)
I ain't get it all, man.

Demegod (33:24.31)
If you want to join 7K, you're going to need a sponsor. I'm your sponsor. Put in Demetrius Bay. D-E-M-E-T-R-I-U-S-B-E-Y. Bay. So that's one platform. That's one way to build wealth. And you can use your money out your check every week to buy gold and silver and stock up on your gold and silver reserves, which will be very good because when they transfer the money over to digital,

any gold and silver that you own is gonna double in worth, triple in worth of course. But now you have the power to leverage tangible wealth when they take the money away. You won't be, cause of course we're gonna have a period of time in between the time when they take the money and they switch to digital. There's gonna be a time where people are not gonna know what to do or how to get accustomed to this new way of financial.

Marcus Hart (33:58.712)
Hmm.

Demegod (34:24.214)
the new financial markets of the Western world. We go into digital. That's where we headed. So you need to stock up on gold and silver. Another thing is life insurance. Life insurance is the number one way to wealthy builds wealth. So what my company has done, we have partnered with life insurance companies. 7K is also partnered with life insurance policy.

whole life insurance policies, which is the best life insurance policies, because you can borrow off of those life insurance policies and make moves. can buy real estate, you can open up businesses and then pay yourself back. Pay your life insurance policy back. We do that. We have seven ways to wealth. Christina Yvette. She's a young lady, she's a millionaire, she's amazing. She knows how to create trust funds.

Trust funds is another way to build generational wealth for our people and to build wealth for yourself. You could do a lot with a trust fund. A trust does a lot. You can put your businesses in the trust and your businesses are protected. Anything that you put in the trust is protected from seizures, from lawsuits, from divorces. If your wife or your husband's trying to take half of your earnings,

you can put it in the trust and you're protected. So trust funds is another way. So we have seven ways to wealth. We have the life insurance policies. We have seven K metals and we also help you fix your credit. So we have Hudson Park Financial where we help you get loans, business and personal loans. We have our criteria that you need to meet, but we help you get loans.

It's another way to build wealth. So this is what More Money Entertainment is based on. It's not just based on music, media. It's not just based on entertainment. I want to branch off into the financial sector and open up those resources to our people.

Marcus Hart (36:44.782)
When life's got us all feeling like a wifi signal in the concrete jungle, you just gotta sprinkle a little bit that wisdom that you just gave us there. You didn't lighten this brother, I see you. Fifth floor.

Yeah, so, and just like that, man, you you took us through a real good journey here today, through a landscape of just words, wisdom, and a whole lot of soul, man. Big shout out to you, Demi, for blessing us with your presence and insights today. God. You know, so is there anything else you would like for us to reflect, act on, and just...

Demegod (37:16.597)
long. I appreciate it.

Marcus Hart (37:28.99)

Demegod (38:46.264)
That's a fact, you know? It's gonna be a big 2025, yeah. Another announcement too, I just got distribution. know what mean? So now I have the ability, independent artists that wanna get their stuff out there. A lot of artists wanna know like, what's the difference between Distro Kid, CD Baby, and then being on a major record labels, independent distribution platform. And I wanna tell you that,

Marcus Hart (38:55.79)
Thanks.

Demegod (39:16.449)
the difference that I've seen as an independent artist, these platforms claim to be worldwide, but they really are not worldwide. So I have used all of them, TuneCore, CD Baby, DistroKid, 1RPM, and there's a few others I've used. But when I use these platforms, and then when I go to Facebook and I go to post,

make a post, not a regular post, a 24 hour post, you know, the post that lasts 24 hours. There's a white box that pops up that says, your music will not be played. This post will not be played in other countries, in certain countries because the rights aren't in other countries. So when artists ask me, what's the difference? I could just stay with Distro Kid.

Definitely. Independence, I came up under Prince. So Prince was the first independent artist with the artist on his face, changing his name and all that. He was my mentor. I came up under him and Londell. So I'm all for independence, but you're really not worldwide. You're really not worldwide. Your music really is not licensed worldwide when you're on these platforms. Getting with...

Red distribution, getting with Def Jam's distribution, Sony's distribution. These things can help you, especially if you have your own marketing budget. If you got your own marketing budget, you could use the same marketing Drake is using. You could use the same marketing, you know, Cardi B is using, the same people that's marketing their projects. Now you have an outlet and you have a way to pay these same people to market yours. So.

Come see me, more money entertainment. I'm giving out distribution. Come holla at me. We can talk numbers. We can talk percentages, but let's get your stuff out there. You got a budget. Let's get it moving. Not only do I have music distribution, but I also have movie and film distribution. And we have our own production company. We got four red cameras. So all the young brothers out there that got brothers and sisters out there that got scripts and

Demegod (41:41.102)
Y'all don't have resources, y'all have connections. Holler at me. Holler at me. I got investors that if the script is fire, they're going to invest and they're going to buy your script. We got a production company that can, if you want to, if there's a different route you want to take with your project and you want to shoot it yourself, we have our own production company and we can say, we can say, we, we'll do that on, on a discount.

We'll do that for 15,000. We'll shoot the whole movie for $20,000. We can do that because we have our own production company. So all of these resources, I do what I do, not just for me. I do what I do to spread the light and help the planet raise this vibration. I'm a light worker, point blank period. I know who I am and I know what my purpose is. So, you know, that's who you dealing with and that's what you dealing with. And it's unfortunate that a lot of people in my circle

in my personal circle have not taken advantage of everything that I've spoken about with you guys today. So I want you guys to take advantage of it. So hit me up Instagram, Facebook, wherever, and let's get it. Let's make it happen.

Marcus Hart (42:55.47)
