The Creative Compass
Your Western sign, your Chinese signs, this month’s Feng Shui, and this week’s Western element — each read on its own, so you can see what produced what.
Both are needed — a rising sign depends on the time and the horizon.

About the DNKYBongsTV Network
An Underground Hip Hop Network, Not a Playlist
Most of what gets called an underground hip hop network online is a playlist with a logo on it. This one runs actual infrastructure: a weekly radio show with a working studio behind it, a staffed publication, three record labels with releases in circulation, and a DJ pool servicing clean versions and instrumentals to people who play records for a living.
That distinction matters to artists more than to listeners. A playlist can add you and drop you. An underground hip hop network with its own broadcast, editorial and distribution can put a record in front of an audience, explain why it’s worth hearing, get it into DJ crates, and still be there for the next one. DNKYBongsTV was built that way on purpose, and it stays independent for the same reason.
