Lyrical monster emerges

Years after stepping away from the battle rap scene, hip hop artist Big Nardo can still " go bar for bar like a prison cell", as he states in his song "Oxymoron." Oxymoron is a hard hitting, lyrical masterpiece produced by T.D. Cakez . It's safe to assume that Big Nardo has a long, prosperous career ahead of him. I am happy to have had the change to work with him, and look forward to working with him in the future.

"In my Mind" is a thought provoking journey that transcends the bounderies of this reality.

Hip hop as a form of expression.

Hip Hop's influence over listeners has always been apparent. Growing up, I was totally engulfed in the  culture. That was during a time when the music reflected the feelings of not only fans and hip hop enthusiast, but the artist themselves. Over the next few weeks I will be releasing songs that serve that very purpose. I hope you all enjoy them.

Why I choose to write conceptual lyrics.

In a era where lyrics take a backseat to the glare of glitz and glamour, many songwriters find it easier to present the public with simple, repetitive lyrics. Performers stray away from their art in fear of not being received by the industry and most importantly potential fans. This trends dulls the creativity of artist and leaves the consumer with fewer options. Even though I realize it is more lucrative to string together punchlines over instrumentals similar to ones the public have grown used to I refuse. It's just not in me.

Having a taste for music that spans many genres has allowed me to enjoy the works of great writers such as Jim Morrison, Bob Dylan,James Brown, and Bob Marley to artist such as Tupac Shakur, Nas, and Chino Moreno. The feeling, and ideology depicted in lyrics is a way for an artist to give insight into there perceptions. In some cases lyrics may serve as the voice for demographics that go unheard otherwise.

I write conceptual lyrics with a clear understanding that I may never make it on the charts, but I can make a decent living and most importantly, give my listeners something they can utilize in their own lives. As long as I can use my mind to help create a more conscious society, I'll continue to write.
