Bipolar Nation (Kanye 4 President) – Bear the Astronot

Bear the Astronot has never been known to stray or shy away from political subject matter in his music. If you are easily offended, or don’t have a keen understanding of satirical cynical sarcastic subject matter don’t listen. Bear the Astronot releases this new track just days after Kanye West announces his bid for president. Bear is very avid about fighting for a break from the 2 party system. The polarization or should we say Bipolarization created by the 2 party system in America is comical. The only problem is every time you start to laugh the obvious dangers punch you right in the face. Bear doesn’t pick sides in the battle, he sits back and watches the Bipolar Nation mood swing daily. Waving from side to side like a Flag in the wind. Maybe Kanye is the perfect president for such an unstable nation. What a joke. If you listen to this song and think I am talking about you, you are right. If you think I am only talking about you and saying the other side is right, listen again. You’re wrong.

I wouldn’t call him a rapper, but I also wouldn’t not call him one either. He calls his music Southwest Soul. A mix of influences from the Alternative side of Hip-Hop, Rock, Electronic, Country, and even Bluegrass. It’s the sound of Arizona to Bear’s ears. Bear is his real name, and there is an occasional exception, but most of the music you hear will be completely produced, written, and recorded by Bear Cole himself. His influences may be so unique, because his life has been so unique. He was born and raised living in The Grand Canyon National Park just minutes from the rim of the Grand Canyon, and spent time living and going to school on the Navajo reservation in Northern Arizona. He now lives in Flagstaff Arizona where he is free to take in the outdoors as much as possible. Hiking, Camping, Hunting, Fishing, are some of his favorite pass times. Not quite the Bio you read for most Hip-Hop artists, but Bear has never been one to pander. He was never able to shake his love of Hip-Hop which grew from being a super fan of artists like Public Enemy, The Pharcyde, and Outkast growing up. He just tries to take those influences and make something that speaks true to him, his life, and what he loves about music in general. Bear also produces music ranging from instrumental world music and funk, to EDM and Trap. Interested? Checkout Bear Cole and Turntable Kachina.
