‘Greetings from New Jeruz’ is a welcome, your welcome into the colorful subculture of New Jersey.
Trip, an American-born anarchist, left home young and restless hitch-hiking across the United States. Squatting deserts, beaches, high-rise rooftops and tending fields of cannibus, he found himself in northern California, living in a tree for months without coming down to save a two thousand year old redwood. The Department of Homeland Security has labeled him an ‘Eco-Terrorist’, one who uses threats of violence both against people and property by property damage and intimidation committed in the name of environmentalism.
But back in Jersey, he is surrounded by travelers. The chosen few who tuned in, turned on, and traveled as far as they could with no money. His music is a conduit of that community. A reflection of their spiraling word play, and feverish lifestyle. It’s composed while hitch hiking, bombing graffiti, and hosting potlucks. Greetings from New Jeruz borrows Hip Hop’s abrupt honesty, and his own spiritual dedication. It reflects every corner of New Jersey, its people, and patented mischief. His music spins a message of hope in the face of our dying cultural identity, and unites the movers and shakers under one melodic cause. Each song delivers a glimpse into the life of a hitch-hiker from meditating on rooftops, to hustling psychedelics, to falling in love on the road.
‘Greetings from New Jeruz’ is the beginning of an arising youth culture that blows smoke at the American dream. A movement that follows organic lifestyle, humility, and copious amounts of marijuana. Where more and more kids are being inspired to tune in, turn on, and travel the world. Trip represents his people, their cause, and aspiration. Listen to him, go outside, and do something about it.
