What They're Saying About "The Writing Is On The Wall"

Mark my words. Radio will have a new toy and thousands of poets will be in the lab over the next 2 years. It's been a long time coming but it’s here. The natural evolution of the spoken word.

"...the first thing I did was play it for my students. Young people need to hear this!"
-- Aya De Leon (Poet/Activist)

"It is BEAUTIFUL. . .searching, personal, provocative. . . it's MAGNIFICENT. . . start to finish. . . the kinda shit I've been asking hip hop to feed us. . . "
-- Marc Bamuthi Joseph

 
Some Hidden Music Gemz
Jaheim -- “Still Ghetto

With a litany of R&B acts that seem to melt together, it is sweet pleasure
to listen to the platinum throated Jaheim. Still ghetto as he wants to be,
thankfully it is still the vocals that do the bling blinging. Typically,
sophomore efforts are lackluster and repetitive. With the success from his
first album "Ghetto Love", Ja seemed doomed for failure. His already
obvious raw talent is even more complex and multi-textured this go round.
To call him a Teddy Pendergrass wanna be such as the likes of Christopher
Williams would be doing him a severe disservice. His vocal phrasings are
more reminiscent of Luther in his prime, or with the risk of sounding
blasphemous, Aretha in her more svelte days. The album takes on a wide
range of topics. From ghetto life, the ups and downs of relationships, to a
thug just wanting to settle down. It is this topic that's producing one of the more poignant moments in the last ten years of R&B music. His duet with Mary J. Blige rivals Marvin and Tammy at their best. When he asks have you ever seen a lion sleeping on the bosom of a sheep, both musically and
lyrically your very soul is touch. Other stand out cuts like "Fabulous" and the phenomenally heartwarming "Everywhere I Am" make this a must have album for every music aficionado. If you don't have a copy in your disc changer already, you're late. Trust.


Dave Hollister -- “Things in the Game Done Changed

Ever since Dave first came on the scene on Blackstreet's first album, the
talent was undeniable. This could perhaps explain the quick demise of the
original roster. However, Dave didn't let that set him back, but rather
came out strong with a solo album which featured the ghetto classics "Baby
Mama Drama" and "I Came Through the Door Pimpin'". By the time his second
album rolled around, the maturity of his material had caught up with his
voice. By this point his topics had moved more towards love, family and
doing the right thing. This brings us to the third album where he continues
to show growth and development. The game may have changed but thank
goodness the voice ain't. Ranging from a gospel feel to a soul wrenching
yearning, which calls to mind such legends as Marvin and Donny, these songs
stir the soul. The song "For You" should be hand delivered to the significant other of any man who has ever been in love. Sad to say that other than that song and a few others such as "What's a Man to Do?" and "Love Hate Relationship", the album is hugely a disappointment. The songs are far too polished and the producers have made the tracks the focal point too many times. Hopefully on the next go around we can hear more of Dave's voice riding the track versus the track riding Dave.

Sphinxx “Got Sphinxx? Samples and Sents Volume One” (Spoken Word)

Unfortunately, when you hear the term-spoken word CD, most of us are filled immediately with dread. We've all gotten tired of the elevator music, jazz backed tracks that all sound like they've come from the same studio. So it was a pleasant surprise to take the hour to listen to this CD by the Atlanta based poet Sphinxx. From the very first track "Welcome" he immediately stands himself apart from the rest. With his crisp production and smooth background singing, tracks like "Midnight Train" and "Longtime
No See" with vocals by Tony Rich instantly grab the listener. "Daddy's Home" where he talks about living off his wife's income while he continues to ply his trade, is a theme most poets are familiar with. When he says "me and my wife be arguing and disagreeing like a couple of Jews and Middle-Easterns" you feel the emotion of the piece. I look forward to hearing more work from this smooth Southern poet.
