Much can be said about the current state of hip-hop; as there has been criticism surrounding the music’s artistic integrity. Every once in awhile, there comes an artist that awakens possibility; an artist with true talent that makes struggle and persistence look effortless. The impending release of his debut album, “The ILLest Show on Earth,” marks a return to hip-hop’s origins when lyrical and artistic integrity reigned supreme. On “The ILLest Show on Earth,” Element collaborates with other emerging talent; including singer, songwriter and producer, Ki the Artist, who contributed her production, songwriting and vocal skills to the album. The album also features production and lyrics by DJ Emergency, Death Metal rock star Colbonix and collaborations with rappers Byron Bank, Mista Shano and Yung Rego.The album is a lyrical palette touching upon a diverse set of issues from the state of hip-hop in America, to poverty, drug use, un-lyrical emcees, sex, money, urban life, depression, politics, failed relationships, overcoming setbacks, and dealing with obstacles in the music industry. Production wise, the album is a hot bed of multiple types of sounds from war drums to deep bass lines, and is unlike any thing you’ve ever heard played on your local radio station.
With the release of his album, the lyricist is ready to prove that true talent can still shine in the rap game and that hip-hop is far from being dead. “My goals are to bring Hip Hop to heights it’s never been before and to revive the glory days when people actually paid "GOOD" money for "GREAT" music.”
Though his musical influences are evident in his music, he manages to incorporate his own voice and uniqueness to his songs. While his music is filled with clever wordplay, memorable hooks and colorfianimate lyrics which proves to be his stock in trade, it’s evident that Element brings something new and refreshing to the rap game.
