Message-wise, unfortunately, hip-hop is devoid, at this moment, of any prominent, popular or radical spokespersons. To me, the things that appear in hip-hop today, unfortunately, are not radical.

...what kind of corrosion we live here. There are no extras in our lives besides survival." He also brings his grim perspective to a live two-hour radio talkshow, Radio Pirates, which is shaking up Bulgaria's stodgy media establishment by examining for-merly taboo issues - like aids, homophobia and neo-Nazism - on which the government is seen to have failed. Karbovsky's message is unrelentingly bleak. "I gave this country my youth, my hopes, lots of hard work," he says. "Now all I want is for the material world to stop being a problem for me."
