Have you ever wondered what would happen if The X Files and hip hop combined forces? If so, I’ve found the solution to your query. Meet Tidus, an intergalactic entity producing music for feeble-minded earth creatures. Not your archetypal hip hop artist, his music touches on topics such as galaxies, spaceships, and harnessing the power of the self. Temporarily grounded in NYC and managed by 3qtr (Odd Future, The Jealous Guys) he produces all his own tracks and directs his videos. Be sure to grab the Absolute Anywhere LP, Mirrors EP, and check out Cruisin’ (below) from his upcoming Doors EP. I caught up with Tidus last week for a few questions:

Things are changing fast in hip hop. Where do you see the genre going in the next few years?

In the next few years, sooner than that I see hip hop being genre-less … music in general. The lines are converging more and more and I think thats dope as fuck. I look at genres as I look at racism, no need for that shit, let’s just make good music.

Have you always had an interest in galactic things?

I’ve always been pulled to the metaphysical, always been pulled to whats going on in the sky. It’s a reflection of us and we are a reflection of it. We were once Gods and Goddesses, and we still are, just with amnesia man. We got to remember our awesomeness. Fuck what society says, I’m trying to build a universe, you feel? Sounds like a long shot, but that’s only a limit of the mind. Real niggas do what they want, scared niggas do what they can.

What is your purpose on this planet?

To spread love, inspire millions, and bring in this beautiful new-age next level shit we have coming upon us. Wouldn’t have it any other way.
