Admittedly, Wut Metaphysical's vision is a stray from your normal hip hop kid. He'd probably rather do a show at an orphanage than open for a big name. Bling, thug glorification, and simplemindedness are probably the last thing he would ever spit about, unless he were cursing it. Wut Metaphysical started with a djembe and a group of emcees on the streets of St. Louis in 2001. Together with the poets now known as Dead Republic, they made peace and respect with the hip hop community in battles and cyphers. Wut has toured both coasts and even toured South America in 2005 through his affiliation as part of hip hop crew Shadow of the Locust. Visiting dangerous slums as well as putting together huge shows in the middle of Brazil's impoverished streets and orphanages, there is no room for false pride. Wut also became a published author in 2005. In 2006 he dropped his debut album "Last of the Metaphysical Poets" independently. Although he had a few offers from minor labels, he wanted to put out a product that was completely his from front to back to ensure honesty and purity in his music. Wut is definitely hip hop, but something about his style seems to pull fans from every classification: punk, hardcore, straight edgers, hip hop fans, and everyone else in between. His steelo bear hugs fans. There are those who float down stream and then there are true artists.
