BIO:
Eprhyme spits rhymes designed to refine the mind of the listener. Kabbalah, psychology, politics, and party rocking are intertwined with elements of jazz, funk, klezmer, and middle eastern music to create a powerful and poetic plea for peace, justice, joy, and unity. Not afraid to experiment, build bridges, or cross boundaries of content and style, Eprhyme blends and juxtaposes diverse sounds and ideas into a swirling and seamless whole. As a founding member of the underground rap anomaly Saints of Everyday Failures, Eprhyme played a pivotal role in establishing a dynamic and positive hip hop community in Olympia, Wa. - dark and mythic homeland of grunge, Riot Grrrrl, and other D.I.Y. undeground art forms. Eprhyme has built a reputation as a dynamic performer and inspiring lyricist, appearing on stage with a diverse cross-section of artists from Del tha Funky Homosapien to Matisyahu in a wide range of venues from clubs to synagogues to youth detention centers. Eprhyme's upcoming album, "waywordwonderwill", is a kaleidoscopic cultural exchange program for mystics, punks, & b-boys. Jam packed with up-tempo conscious club cuts like "punklezmerap" and spiced up with middle eastern dance hall drum line mash ups like "shomer salaam"; "waywordwonderwill" is evidence of a living tradition.
