"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.
~ MPsays

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

@TRISH, Canada's Next Rising Star!

by Mister Promo | April 21, 2015

You remember Trish? With her performances of "Mannequin" "Hi-Yah" and "Up There." Three amazing songs and extraordinary videos. One of which remixed by Ephraim Adamz. (Link for that can be viewed below.)
Well, she is back again with another hit for your listening ears.
She calls this one, "Vacancy."

"You don't find love. Love finds you. That's why it's called falling in love."
Amazing lyrics. It's very simple yet extremely meaningful. Trish really slowed it down with this. This is not nor is it near what she normally records. Fast, upbeat music. This track, however, is that soft, baby making music. I really enjoy it. I imagine you will too.

When listening to this song I kind of feel like she's talking to me. For years, I have searched high and low for love and only met heartache and grief. Only if I were patient I may have met it sooner than never. These lyrics are actually motivating. Take a listen and perhaps you'll understand.

What's the Deal: w/ SHE & HIM?

By Mister Promo | December 31, 2014

Okay, so before I go in on explaining what the deal is with She & Him, I want to first share with you something I find very interesting. It's kind of a funny story. I was speaking with my business partner, Rock-It, about the direction, in which this post would go. I mentioned how I would write about each singer's foreground and background. Then I mentioned how, I don't know, Him heard She singing for the first time in the movie "Elf" and found it amazing. So Him retrieved the info to She, called She to then form She & Him. I, in fact, seemed to be on the right track with that one. LoL! Here's how.

Zooey Deschanel (She) & M. Ward (Him) actually met on the film set of "The Go-Getter" which starred Zooey. They were introduced by the director of the film, Martin Hayes. Martin's intention was for the two to perform a duet for the closing credits of the film. The two performed very well together and the rest is brilliance.

In 2006 She & Him was formed. In 2008 they would release their first album, "She & Him  Volume 1". In 2010 "She & Him Volume 2". In 2011 "A Very She & Him Christmas". In 2013 "She & Him Volume 3. Finally in 2014 "She & Him Classics they would release their first album, "She & Him  Volume 1". In 2010 "She & Him Volume 2". In 2011 "A Very She & Him Christmas". In 2013 "She & Him Volume 3. Finally in 2014 "She & Him Classics".

She & Him Classics

Solid Review for She & Him Classics:

(According to PitchPork)

By Evan Minsker on November 19, 2014

Zooey Deschanel and M. Ward released their latest She & Him album Classics — featuring 13 covers of classic songs — on December 2 via Columbia. Today, they've shared the video for their version of Dusty Springfield's "Stay Awhile". It features Deschanel dancing with an invisible partner and Ward playing an invisible guitar while sitting on an invisible stool.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

(According to Amazon)
By Steve Vrana HALL OF FAMETOP 500 REVIEWER on December 3, 2014

The bulk of these songs were first popularized between the 1930's and the 1950's; however, there are a few more recent covers. Here's the breakdown:

1. "Stars Fell on Alabama" This jazz standard from 1934 was popularized by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.
2. "Oh No, Not My Baby" Written by Gerry Goffin and Carole King, this was a modest hit for Maxine Brown in 1964.
3. "It's Not for Me to Say" This was Johnny Mathis' second single in 1957 and his first million-seller.
4. "Stay Awhile" A minor hit for Dusty Springfield in 1964, this song was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. (Nice guitar work from M. Ward here.)
5. "This Girl's in Love with You" Another Bacharach-David tune that was a No. 1 smash for Herb Alpert in 1968. (Zooey changes the gender of the song, of course, and the arrangement speeds things up a bit from the original, shortening the original by a full minute. More nice guitar work from M. Ward on this one.)
6. "Time after Time" Not to be confused with the hit by Cyndi Lauper, this was written by the great Sammy Cahn and Jule Styne in 1947 and recorded the same year by Frank Sinatra.
7. "She" At age 50, Charles Aznavour was already in his third decade as an entertainer when he wrote and recorded this tender ballad in 1974.
8. "Teach Me Tonight" Another Sammy Cahn tune--this time working with Gene dePaul--also recorded by Frank Sinatra.
9. "It's Always You" This tune from 1940 was recorded by Sinatra when he was with the Tommy Dorsey Orchestra.
10. "Unchained Melody" This song hit the Top 10 by three different artists in 1955, but this arrangement is based more on the 1965 Righteous Brothers version that reached No. 4 in 1965.
11. "I'll Never Be Free" First popularized by Ella Fitzgerald with Louis Jordan in 1950.
12. "Would You Like to Take a Walk" This is the oldest song on this collection having first appeared in the Broadway musical "Sweet and Low" in 1930. It was later popularized by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong. (I confess, I first heard the song on an old Bugs Bunny cartoon.)
13. "We'll Meet Again" This sentimental song was recorded by British singer Vera Lynn during the early years of World War II and provides a fitting close to this album.

These performances may not make you forget the originals, but if you enjoyed She & Him's previous albums you will want to add this to your collection. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED [Running time - 39:13]

Hope you Enjoy this As much As i Am.

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.

Michael Simmons

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.
