When you meet Alexander Spit, you meet a 20 something year old San Franciscan with stale cigarette breath, a faded vintage tee, ex-girlfriend stress, and a swagger like your favorite Dirty South rapper mixed with your favorite band's front man.
These qualities take form into what becomes the music of Alexander Spit.
His presence as an emcee comes unexpectedly to most people, but the moment his music is played, there becomes an absolute distinction between him and any other rapper. Whether it's his unsettling, off-easy production of distorted 80's synths and Timbaland drums, or his visual, authentic cool vocals packed with contemporary tales of a fast generation; there is a distinct sound reminiscent of the best songs of the last 20 years, fitting for any genre. His affinity for San Francisco, youth, rebellion, and women manifest in his lyrics performed with wit and craft that serves over his beats like a guitar solo. In his production, you'll find a fusion of 8-bit noise and distortion eased by feel good chords and melodies drawn out with airy synths and punchy leads.
Being an artist making music based on his surroundings as a young, independent San Francisco hooligan, you'll hear of the Bohemian life, strange relationships, and nerdy obsessions presented with the same bravado that Jay-Z raps about his yachts and villas with.
Alexander Spit has independently released 8 solo albums completely self-produced, written, recorded, mixed, and distributed via hand-to-hand sales. He is also a member of the San Francisco and Los Angeles based Hip Hop crew, The Instant Messengers, who have received acclaim for their unique sound and one of a kind live performance.
Alexander Spit is currently working on his new album "Open 24 Hours" scheduled to release late 2008, and continues to perform across California in prestigious venus and clubs, and even in the local house party and bar.
Good music is still being made. Music with fun, genius, and cool. And sometimes the best part is that it comes from where you would least expect it. So be sure to expect nothing less when you hear a larger-than-life sound sure to turn heads, from Alexander Spit.
