About The Invasion of Vox Populi
In a distant future where Earth has been destroyed and its inhabitants have been forced to live in what remains, the evil powers that be have used their wealth, greed, and influence to manipulate the remaining beings. One such way is through the creation of the "Universal Mainstage," an intergalactic music venue that also serves as a medium to transmit messages of mass manipulation. Our hero, Vox Populi, intends to infiltrate this establishment so that truth and justice would be allowed to permeate the minds of the living. By enlisting the knowledge of his fellow MCs and a little help from an influential DJ, Vox is able to carry out his plan and destroys the Bad Rappers and topples the evil promoter while spreading insight to truth, justice, and the importance of wisdom and knowledge.
