The beautiful and talented Bless Roxwell is a magnetic performer with an undeniable ability to make hit songs. Coming out of the Golden Age of Hip-Hop, Bless recalls how the music made an impression on her at an early age: "My older brother was writing rhymes, performing and recording. So I wasnt just listening to all the classics that helped shape the game, but experiencing the creative process behind them as well." Always an English fanatic- reading and writing poetry & short stories- Bless would soon discover she had a talent to write rhymes too. "Combining my love for writing with such an influential Hip-Hop background, well, rhyming just seemed like a natural progression," she remembers. Soon Bless Roxwell was giving big brother a run for his money- her 2002 EP, Believe-In, featuring production by the Scratchismz Crew from Boston, is a testament to those first few years of grind in The Big Apple. 8-tracks deep, it is filled to the brim with vivid insights and razor sharp skills on the mic.These days, youll find Bless in the studio recording new tracks, like the poignant and hypnotic BEDTIME STORY; and the sultry HUMAN, featuring famed international recording artist Santessa. All production on her upcoming album is courtesy of beat-wizard Ayatollah, and his trademark irresistible grooves, coupled with Bless's incomparable flow, make for a winning formula. Bless welcomes you to check out one of her red-hot live shows as she blazes her way into the hearts of audiences and listeners. In the words of Ms. Roxwell herself, "Life is about experience and perception, you learn and you grow. I'd like for people, when they hear my music, to hear the past, present and future of Hip-Hop."
"I WAS ABLE TO FREE THOUSANDS OF SLAVES THRU THE UNDERGROUND RAILROAD, BUT I WOULD'VE BEEN ABLE TO FREE THOUSANDS MORE IF I COULD ONLY CONVINCE THEM THAT THEY WEREN'T SLAVES"!!! -Harriet Tubman
“Very few really seek knowledge in
this world. Mortal or immortal, few
really ask. On the contrary, they try
to wring from the unknown the
answers they have already shaped in
their own minds – justification,
explanations, forms of consolation
without which they can’t go on. To
really ask is to open the door to the
whirlwind. The answer may
annihilate the question and the
questioner.”
