About Me

The Tracks: (New product on the assembly line...Stay tuned!)
SHHH!! You are about to witness one of the best kept secrets of the Midwest! Blah Blah Bladee Blah Music is out the window! Hailing from the budding urbanage of Omaha, Nebraska comes one ever-evolving lyricist at the dawing of a new age of emcee. My name is Devel Crisp of the Elements of Music (E.O.M.) , and I dilligently practice pushing my words through the bowels of my soul to create an honest, and unparalleled style of word art. I live to creatively create creative creations and if you want to hear something completely different in hip hop, and in music general, give me, Devel Crisp a listen or two. I’ll be featuring on an EOM AuthenticÂ® album coming soon. I am also penning my first solo album which is promised to be some kind of wonderful. So feel free to add me as a friend, leave messages and rate the music (more songs coming soon.) I’m frequently on Myspace, so I’ll get back at you as soon as I can. Thanks for stopping by and have the best damn day of your life!!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 1/24/2007
Band Website: myspace.com/develcrisp
Band Members: Just lil' ole me, Devel. But I roll with those Kings of E.O.M. (Check the site in my friend box)
Influences: IN MUSIC: I would say that I've gotta east coast lyrical mechanism, mixed with a west coast bounce, coupled with a south side bluntness, blended with a whole heap of midwestern hospitality. My style comes from being influenced by every piece of music I encounter (even some of the wackness!) I try to listen to everything, but notable influencing albums are Saul Williams-Saul Williams, All of Eminem's Albums, Chopin-Greatest Hits, Nature-For All Seasons, Jay-Z-The Blueprint, Common-Electric Circus, The Beatles-Sgt. Pepper's and Abbey Road, Talib Kweli and Hi-Tek-Reflection Eternal, Supertramp-Breakfast In America, N.E.R.D.-In Search Of... and Fly or Die, Blood Sweat & Tears and other classics. IN SPEAKING AND DELIVERING LYRICS: My accapella spoken word is definitely inspired by Def Poetry. Something about live verbage brings the best out of me. The dynamics I speak with comes from soul music, especially Teddy Pendergrass' way of scraping the corners his soul and delivering pure magic. The volume variance of Dr. King, the carefree finesse of Minnie Ripperton, the solidarity of Nina Simone, the raw power of DMX, and even (pace yourself!) the fire that Adolf Hitler spoke with (even though I later found out that he was on amphetamines) are the supreme vocal qualities that I try to express.
Sounds Like: That quiet azz dude in the back of Geometry class. You know his still waters run deep, but you don't know exactly how deep. So your curiosity leads you to ask him to speak. Little did you know that your life will be changed forever...or at least for a few hours after he blows your mind clean out of your skull! Real dramatic, huh?
Record Label: E.O.M. Authentic Â®

Where in the heaven has Devel Crisp been??

I've been laying low, searching for a rent and bill paying job, slowing up my writing process. Omaha is a brutal place when it comes to searching and applying for jobs. That's what ...
