The Turkey Killer


It's funny that people move to New York City to be heard and seen. You could bark in front of a New Yorker, you could bark and run circles and be naked, and they wouldn't flinch. They are use to the attention whores , the crazies, the penny hunters.

However, as performers and musicians, we still reside here, because to be seen here is an accomplishment. We love the chase, we love to create something that will grab your attention in a way that nobody or anything else has. The chase forces us to act in creative ways, because nobody is going to hand out anything here just because you have a pretty picture. So, if someone see's something in you, it's because you put it in there face, and made it appear to be something that would benefit them.

So, in the privacy of his own home, he decided that the world didn't need another headshot submission, that perhaps what they needed was a good laugh. Perhaps, the good laugh would get him farther than his pretty head shot or on point monologue. He knew he could rap, he knew he could make people laugh. So, he decided to marry the two and make a funny rap video. He decided that he would during this 2009 holiday season, claim his title as THE TURKEY KILLER.

Now, what is admirable about this little character of a man, is normally people would throw this idea out there and never do anything with it. But he wrote the rap song, he produced the song, he found a sound engineer, he hired a media production group... all in good faith that it would make you laugh.

Even if you don't laugh, which I don't know how you can't laugh at some good wholesome turkey killing.Or, a woman trying to seduce a man with cranberry dressing or seductively eating a chunky piece turkey breast.But, my favorite part is creepy mc creepers singing the opening song, and then randomly standing in the background waiting to attack any turkey with her guitar. And, just so you know, she is actually a gorgeous girl, which just goes to show what some make up and acting can do. Regardless, it's funny and it is respectable that someone would dream up the idea, and follow through with it.

So watch it, buy it on itunes, but mostly enjoy it. Because, the dude worked hard for it and put a lot of faith into it. For that anyone should buy the album!
