| I.D.ENTITY: General Info
|
| Member Since | 3/11/2006 | | Band Website | Check the bigger picture myspace.com/city_zen | | Band Members | It's just myself on the vocals alongside my good man Mr Bleezy "Alex Blood" Breeze Block who has produced most of the beats on the album, all of which are slick, self-composed, emotive gems. | | Influences | Tupac Shakur due to his pure passion and self-beleif, the guy knew what was going on around him and laid it all out, wasn't afraid to contradict himself and show the myriad of characteristics that made him the cultural icon that he is. Then, through Bleezy, I discovered Gangstarr. The Moment of Truth album just blew me away and the track "Moment of Truth" came into my life at a time when it was really needed and beleive it or not really picked me up. For me its all about the lyrics, I've always been deep into what an MC is talking about, what they beleive, what insights they can give me and on that level it's been all about Public Enemy, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, KRS-One, Aceyalone, Nas, all of those poetic heads that could tell it like it is.
Hip Hop aside it's been about those artists I grew up listening to. Jacko's a genius and in my opinion massively misunderstood, the guys a product of a pretty fucked up childhood, his pops exploited him and his siblings hard, working them like slaves without allowing them to do the things most kids love doing. It's dark. Then there's The Levellers, fellow anarchists who in my opinion are one of the most enjoyable, politically on point bands about. These days I listen mostly to the kind of Hip Hop that stretches me, Sage Francis, Atmosphere, Aesop Rock, that kind of shit. To me Slug out of Atmosphere is probably the best lyricist I've ever heard, pure poetry that works on every level in a different way for every person. | | Sounds Like | A passionately confused young male comin' straight outta suburban Spondon. | | Type of Label | None |

| About I.D.ENTITY |
I tread this naked wasteland open minded as I make plans
Eager to shake hands with the nature which dictates mans
different ways in which he perceives the same sands
savour the moment or be confined by your game plan
I take a taste of these ancient faiths
my spirit shakes every time I see a strong will fade
I will embrace any hate hoping deep to relate
with the underlying pain and the reason it was raised
the sun will dry the rain when the thunder strikes again
so be brave and have faith in the harmony of nature
the karma that's created by starving for the sake of
the harvest when the hardship is much greater than the gain so
I take aim, press my grind against the grain
reclaiming time to change my name and separate fire from the flames,
enslaved yet inspired by the way we recreate
our society each time we breathe and nothing stays the same – become the change
I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V3.6!
