Part Time Monk is double-threat MC & Producer Homer L Twigg IV. Get down to the vibe of one man with putting Naptown on the map with material, style, and sampling techniques original to the midwest region and Indianapolis in general. If you’ve never heard the degree of sophistication that comes out of IN, you’re sleeping on it.

The “Build & Release” mixtape is a combo of three different pieces: partly from the 2006 release “Lost Beats Vol. 1″, partly from the 2007 release “The Growth Factor”, and partly from one of two running projects, “Philly Tea”.

The other project in the works is called “Odyssey”– a two-CD re-telling of Homer’s Odyssey in english, AND in dactylic hexameter (how the original was done). Recent research and archelogical evidence shows that the first oral transmissions of this story (one of the most important to ever be written down in Western history) were accompanied by a circle of men pounding out a beat on the floor as someone spoke the story– in rhythm.

If you are a talented emcee looking for a completely new and original challenge to your skills, and are interested in taking responsibility for a track (each chapter of the odyssey is a seperate track), email

parttimemonk@gmail.com
or drop a line at

I WILL ALWAYS PUT PREFERENCE ON LOCAL EMCEES, DJS AND ARTISTS FROM THE MIDWEST AND THOSE WHO KNOW THAT MIDWEST SOUND.

Don’t sleep on it.
