Current albums featuring...
T Parris
MC'ing like photography is about light and access - bringing to light viewpoints based on the authors access. As the Yung Marvin Gaye, T Parris exemplifies these aspects as a MC. He takes his access of his Harlem upbringing and transforms it into something tangible and worth your listening pleasure. T is a family man and social worker, so instead of glorifying the realities of his surroundings, he funkily presents it to you and asks to you make what you will of it. His ultimate goal is to unite the underground rapper scene (from emo to conscious and hardcore to silly) through the music and live show experience. He exemplifies theartoflyrics @ every given chance. Much respect for letting me into your home T. Stay Harlem.

Rhino
Verse*all
Rhino is that dude. The one who will say those things you hate you can't say. That dude that will make you laugh when you want to cry. That cat that your mom always told you to stay away from, and then one day you sat down with him and made fast friends with. And thats why I fusk with him. Why I call him a peer even though we create in different mediums. Although we have been building together for close to 5 years, its rare that I get to photograph him in a studio setting. This shoot was done last month to be used with his upcoming album, Irreconcilable Differences, a project with a distinct voice and long-lost 90's boombap sensibilities. Be on the lookout on your favorite late night radio show for songs that question worldly norms from god to the current state of NYC hip-hop. Note, by the time he's done, Rhino will hurt your feelings, but really, all of us need a good cry here and there. Stay subversive.

Verse*all
What's up with the man they call Verse*all you ask? Is he a rapper? Is he a producer? Answer is Verse*all is both - regardless of what even he says! Debate aside, the consensus is that Verse*all is a monstrous mic technician & beat birthing machine that will keep your head nodding for days on end. Visionary and humble to the process of growth, he is the quintessential artist of music we should all know by heart and action. Much respect to this gentleman and scholar for not only the opportunity to shoot him in the process of crafting "Skin Deep" (Peace Tony Stanz and TME Studios!) but also for playing a pivotal role in THEARTOFLYRICS. Good looks. Stay fresh.

Rebelmatic
It was an honor to be able to shoot Rebelmatic a couple of weeks back. There is something to be said about pushing the sound of music in the direction of truth and art. Creature, O, Stiks and Alkatraz are fearless of being themselves at a time where everyone is trying to be like the next head. Fuck the political pop sound, cop Prey for the Vulture and understand what im saying. Good looking for the opportunity gentlemen. Stay fresh.
