"No Eyes, No Mouth"
The Visionaries always give us reasons to love them more and more - great music, a sense of unity, a will to love, and plenty of good tunes to jam to anywhere you get the urge. One member of the crew gives all of us vegetarian and vegan fans another reason to hail in their glory.
“Leave My Name Out,” aka LMNO, lays down rhymes for both his crew and his own solo endeavors, but he has now joined up with PETA to talk about his “No Eyes, No Mouth” moto and his somewhat skin crawling view on fur production. The video, which is now playing on PETA television, gives a candid look into LMNO’s reasons for practicing veganism, his views on what’s “fly” in animal fashions, and even a few unsettling pictures of animals.
You can catch this video at Petaworld.com or check out LMNO and the rest of the Visionaries crew at Upabove.com. You can also check out more vegan inspired tracks, including “No Eyes, No Mouth,” on LMNO’s Ps & Qs and look out for the Visionaries forthcoming album We the Ones (We’ve Been Waiting For), due out in October.
