"Living Life with a Purpose, while dreaming of greatness!"

~ Wordsmith ~

In the words of Wordsmith the quote presented just above could not read with more motivation than what is delivered already.

I remember when I first signed up for twitter. It was in the Summer of 2009. One of the first local celebs to follow me was Wordsmith. The first thing I thought was, "how did he get verified?" Then I began to research him and that is when it became clear. This guy is a genius. Or perhaps just a man with a dream that he had plan to see through.

The Past for Wordsmith.

"WORDSMITH has called many places around the world home. The son of a former full-time Army Colonel meant home changed often; from New York, New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia, Delaware, Texas, Kansas to as far as Germany. Growing up with the always inevitable relocation, Word found rap to be a powerful constant. His knowledge stems from starvation as he would save his lunch money each week to buy classic tapes from Redman, Big L, Nas, Eric B. and Rakim, Jeru the Damaja, A tribe called Quest, Da Bush Babees, Krs One, Gangstarr, Das Efx, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, and his cousin Roc Marciano. Going away to school finally settled Word in one place, Maryland, first Morgan State with a full scholarship to play football, and finally Salisbury University where he continued football and received his B.A. in Theatre, Class of 2002.

The Present for Wordsmith.

Wordsmith, the man behind the lyrics. Being a hip-hop artist can really take a toll on a person. There are so many stereotypes that come along with performing in this genre. The "noise" that is classified as a musical theme for the "urban" communities. Over the years Word outgrew and overcame the negative stereotypes. With that he earned the opportunity of performing shows in not just clubs, but grade schools, colleges, theaters and festivals.
~ Co-MP

One thing people fail to realize about rap and hip hop lyrics is that not all tracks consist of sailor talk. Meaning, Wordsmith creates his music free from prophanity. Yet there are still messages to be received and through his outstanding style it is grasped by rock, pop, alternative and jazz music audiences.
~ Co-MP

This caused a cross-genre appeal. Growing fame brought a demand for a professsional presentation for a more diverse audience. This being why The Big Band Theory was formed. To provide a greater appearance and accumulate much larger and more sufficient bookings.
~ Co-MP

Wordsmith has toured throughout his career with stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Las Vegas, Boston, Baltimore, Washington DC, Charlotte, Indianapolis, San Jose, Harrisburg, and overseas in London, England. He has both lectured and performed at various music conferences around the country sharing his great music and professional experience with other indie artists; conferences include SXSW, A3C, Mid Atlantic Music, Millennium Music, Launch and more. Wordsmith also visits grade schools to perform for students and promote anti-bullying messages.

As of yesterday, the Nu Revolution music and merchandise just went live. You can now support this present and future music mogul by purchasing hats, shirts and music from his site. ~~>> http://www.nurevcamp.com

New Music:Death From Above 1979-

By The Rock-It Scientist | December 2nd 2014

As I'm checking out all these indie bands with my partner on our business burrito night, I've come across this band that have this awesome sound and I decided to check out more.  I've come to discover that I need to search harder for awesome music because how did I not catch this band before they broke up in 2006?  Well lucky for me, they reunited and released the song Train Wreck 1979 which has this, in your face guitar riff that sounds like a locomotive coming right for you and the drums pounding like your heart when seeing the locomotive comes closer.  Off of their September 2014  release, The Physical World Death From Above 1979 Is an album that I'm going to add to my collection.  DFA 1979 is on tour now, tonight they play the House of Blues, Boston and then they are from to Canada Eh!

Here are some Amazon Reviews:

By Jason Harrington "Trucker Hater Magazine"

This review is from: The Physical World (LP+MP3) (Vinyl)

Consistency has always been the strong suit of this duo, and The Physical World is no exception. When you put on a Death From Above album you pretty much know what to expect and it stays the course until the end. When they made their first album the concept was more natural, but now we get to hear the result of the artists knowing they nailed it the first time, and going back to respond to that in a very premeditated way, with overproduced results. They can obviously write a mean riff and ride it out, but when they stripped away the fuzz, it left the sound very raw. When they debuted on the scene, the musical climate was different, and they drew comparisons mostly to indie artists with driving beats and a raw rock feel, like White Stripes or groups from the dance-punk side of the spectrum. It's just not like that now. Now it's much harder to divide them from stoner-metal, on sound alone. They seem to teeter between a sort of safely cool Queens of the Stone Age, and a more pop-rock side that occasionally veers a bit too close to something like Thrice or Open Hand. Those groups are fine, and this is pretty much a great rock album if you ever liked Foo Fighters, but their punk rock side is given full Hot Topic treatment here, and the genre signifiers are just a bit dangerous. That if you look up "related artists" you get The Vines and At the Drive-in. Those are a lot better comparisons than Wolfmother or Finch, but I expect these guys to be on tour with Tame Impala, and that could go either way, much like my feelings while listening to this album. I might listen to it again, but I'm not in a rush.

Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: The Physical World (Audio CD)

Few bands sounded like DFA1979 did in 2004, when they released the landmark You're A Woman, I'm A Machine. In 2014, even fewer do. DFA's frenetic energy and danceable rhythms have been sorely missed in a landscape marred by soulless pop and limp-wristed 'indie'.

If you're familiar with You're A Woman, and you probably are if you're here, you already know what to expect from them. And if you don't, you're in for a treat, because DFA brings all the groove of old school rock n' roll into a disgustingly dirty, back to basics sound (after all, there ARE only two members). On this second album, all of those traits are intact - though with an ever-so-catchier slant. The Physical World is a bit smoother around the edges than it's predecessor, but that's to be expected from a band well into their 30s, and their decision to use a producer this time around. However, it works wonderfully to their benefit, because all that energy and groove is more tightly focused into memorable songs. Some people will slight them for that, and that's fine, but songs like Trainwreck 1979 and Always On have refused to leave my head since the initial iTunes stream.

At just a little over 35 minutes, The Physical World comes and goes in a moment. One bad song on an album that short could very well sink it, but from start to finish, it's a consistent, straight forward listen that doesn't slow down (except for the slow-burning White Is Red, which features some excellently melodic bass playing). Too many bands mire themselves in the fatal disease of taking themselves too seriously - Death From Above know exactly how to have some fun.

Similar artist: Strokes, Queens of the Stone Age, White Stripes
