WE PLAY GOD WITH EACHOTHER EVERYDAY

About Me

WoRdPLaY Beneath all of what we think, lies the truth. It is the greatest feat, yet the harshest realization, to find out that you’re not who you thought you were. Some people live their whole lives and never know the truth. Others know and never truly live. What purpose has the voice that is not heard and how is one heard with no voice.Wordplay, the artistic use of word association, also known as, a play on words. It is a fundamental element of rap, hip-hop, and emceeing. It is often displayed with wit or humor, and in my case, intellect. It is the exhibition of one’s ability to formulate relations between the unconnected. I am not a rapper. I am a lyricist, a poet, and an artist. I have been blessed with not only a voice, but also words. I am WoRdPLaY: the unknown artist. As you step into the unknown, uncertainty is to be expected, for walking in the absence of light only fortifies one’s capacity to survive without it. I have come from the darkness a new creature. I shed light on the unseen and give a voice to the unheard. Undoubtedly, I am the next: A culmination to the past, yet the dawn of a rebirth, the rebirth of Hip-Hop. Lost in the realms of struggle, greed, jealousy and the glorification of a twisted fantasy called fame. It is the false promises of another means, another way, something and somewhere better than here. It is The Urban American Dream, primarily chased on basketball courts, in basements and on street corners. Unrelenting is it’s defeat. Few have actually made it, and even less, have attempted to make a difference after they did. Hip-hop is a creative interpretation of urban existence and survival. It represents the many facets of our community: knowledge, love, life and death. Once we expressed these things through music. Now it has become an over dramatized and unrealistic portrayal of life: a mockery and debacle. Unknown Artist is my life. It is a walk in my shoes, seen thru my eyes. It is a journey thru my own struggle, losses, lust and denial. It is my joy, rewards, love and acceptance. It is my full circle, no facades, bells or cheap imitations of the truth. Just a voice waiting to be heard, a mind waiting to be explored and an artist waiting to be discovered.
