GYMR CO-SIGN: Wordsmith (Jackin For Beats Out Now!)

[Wordsmith on the Run]

Up until now, Sha Stimuli was GetYourMindRIght's only CO-SIGN. How fitting that Sha is one of the few features on the latest release from our second GYMR CO-SIGN ever: Wordsmith.

Like Sha Stimuli, Wordsmith is as 'real' a person as he is an emcee, and that goes a long way on the Internets these days, where anyone can claim him/herself an artist, and filtering through the garbage has become a 25/8 job.

Unlike so many emcees who fall back on touting their neighborhood, Wordsmith offers a unique, post-modern World View rarely seen in the hip hop game. Before making the College Top 30 Charts and getting spins on MTV, VH1, Spike, Fuse, etc., Wordsmith had already lived in Germany -- twice. Unlike most emcees who tour this country on 'upnorth trips', Wordsmith lived in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Delaware, Texas and Kansas as the son of an Army Colonel.

Now based in the DMV/Baltimore, Wordsmith's range of experiences -- and intelligence -- shine through in his music. Capable of creating a club hit (and he has) but not constrained by those creative boundaries, Wordsmith switches lanes gracefully but powerfully, offering something for everyone.

As he told GYMR: "I hands-down know why my brand of hip hop is so all-over-the-place sometimes, because I was influenced by so many forms of music growing up. I also think that's why I have a universal mentality when it comes to creating my music."

To download, click the album cover.



In October 2009, the homie Sha Stimuli released what I immediately declared the 2009 Album of the Year, My Soul to Keep. 2dopeboyz's dopeboy SHAKE dug the album too; however, as he wrote on May 21, 2010, "While the album has received great praise, it’s still evident that there are far too many folks sleeping."

So, the super-lyrical Brooklyn emcee they call The Present linked up with "the dopehouse" to present the Overtime mixtape.

LYRICS:

... we goin in!...

im a model minority, bring the challengers in /
correcting combat jack's daily math, with dallas's pen / (wooohah!)
pardon me duke, my gorilla arms stay swinging /
clips or kisses, these are notes from a different kitchen.

im a street poet, spittin, naked with socks on /
stand for the grand good, not just a hot song / (wooohah!)
pardon me duke, my ruby hornet stay stinging /
those two words, are notes from a different kitchen.

2dopeboyz, unkut, on smash /
white shadow, awkword, beats and rants /
in the smoking section, ask miss info to dance /
i got cocaine blunts and hip hop tapes in my pants /
east coast critics are biased, so they say /
but we been cloud kickers, since back in the day /
its not all 4 arrogance, i got poisonous paragraphs /
and fraud's 38th notes, embarrass that ass /
you got elite taste?, and every chicks a fiya starter? /
oh word, okay player, nah right, dont bother /
im sicka than average, youre something like a rapper /
go paint the world pink, youre just a nod factor /
im the calm and the kaos effect, day in the lyfe /
work harder, up north trips, to dr. jay's live /
real talk ny, sucker free, that real ish /
mbc digi, necole bitchie even feel this.

AWKWORD Named to Top 10 Volunteers of 2009 by Morgan Stanley

Each year, as part of the What A Difference A Day Makes initiative, Morgan Stanley recognizes its top 10 volunteers.

In 2009, AWKWORD donated 625 hours to his World View project, the earth's first 100% nonprofit hip hop project co-sponsored by End of the Weak (EOW), The Anti-Injustice Movement (AIM), and The Morgan Stanley Foundation.



On Wednesday, March 10, 2010, AWKWORD's named appeared on New York City's 1585 Broadway "electronic ticker tape" that streams across the building as seen in the image above.

World View is scheduled to drop later in 2010. All proceeds from the album are being donated to Guns 4 Cameras (a.k.a. Aim to Live), a 501c3 recognized nonprofit, led by survivor Hezues R' (and hip hop icon Pharoahe Monch), that is dedicated to eradicating gun violence through the hip hop-inspired education and empowerment of our inner-city youth.
