ASCEND-izzle


So many CD's. So little time.

My musicalizzle identitizzle is like a kaleidoscope yo. I be a ballin' finger-lickin' different thang from every last angle. I’ve morphed from performa ta mackdaddy ta noize advocate, n' all of tha above at different moments up in time.

In addition, as mah mackdaddys can probably confirm, I be a lil' bit of a different breed yo.

I channeled Jizzy Hendrix when playin fast runs up in the hood of that Mozart concerto. I’ve made Greek Mythologizzle "hip." I write quirky blogs as another artistic outlet. Ya Mom shoulda told ya, I even dabbled up in standup comedy.

Some playas would say "just make up yo' mind."

I say, "where’s tha funk up in that?" In other lyrics, I don't give a ___ how.

Along tha trip of tryin ta figure up who/what I am, I’ve been deeply hyped up by happenings up in society. Outdated joints, bankruptcies, n' negativitizzle up in tha noize ghetto have tainted mah inspiration ta *just* perform. .

(One thang I decided ta do bout that, cough cough, is create dis crib.)

In mah struttin game though, I’ve been lifted by playin up in nuff freshly smoked up settings, wackly moved n' well traveled by providin noize fo' weddin ceremonies, energized by mah private hustlas, n' motivated most of all by just playing, up in any capacity, every last freakin day. It make me wanna hollar playa! My trip fo' a one identitizzle is ongoing.

Amidst all dat melodrama, I recorded "ASCEND.".

By brangin together composers n' peeps whoz ass is mah playas, showcasin they noize up in a freshly smoked up way, n' bustin a legacy, mah mad drama went away fo' realz. All dat mattered was tha music.

What made tha experience even mo' meaningful is dat each collaborator has similar multiple identitizzles yo, but noize is tha thread dat tizzles them, n' us, all together n' shit. Our collaboration on dis project reminded mah crazy ass of why I be a musical dude no matta how tha heck much tha meanin of dat chizzles.

On April 26th up in Boston, I invite you ta join me as I officially "release" dis mixtape wit a live performizzle celebration.

If you don't live up in Boston, I be bout ta be streamin live biaaatch! Link ta be announced soon. I aint talkin' bout chicken n' gravy biatch. Listen ta excerpts n' learn mo' at www.elizabetherenberg.com.

I hope you gonna feel lifted. Y'all KNOW dat stuff, homedawg! This type'a shiznit happens all tha time. I shizzle have.
