Semantics the SuperEGO aka Promise Pseudo

About Me

With intricately assembled rhymes full of beautiful surprises, the SuperEGO flexes a brilliant imagination channeled through a powerful cadence. Hailing from El Paso, Texas, Semantics crafts emotions, ideas and moods with astonishing range and style.Why 'The Product'? Since image is everything these days, music has become secondary to the popular cameo and the 'it' producer. Hip-hop is no longer art - it's a product. Mass marketed and homogeneous, individuality has become an after thought. Despite the creativity invested into the actual work, at the end of the day it's just product. With that in mind, Semantics presents The Product: the quintessential hip-hop album.
