Wordsmith has been busy building a loyal fan base and garnering critical acclaim over the past few years with a Hip Hop style that can’t be labeled. The Baltimore native is gearing up for his upcoming fourth quarter release, “King Noah”, which will be boosted by a DJ Envy hosted mixtape. The independent project will be released thru his NU Revolution Entertainment in conjunction with The Original Man Entertainment Group, Inc. Powered by the lead single, “On My Job,” Wordsmith has set out to prove he is ready to make an impact on the charts.
“King Noah is a project I’m really excited about and have huge expectations for,” stated Wordsmith. “Everything is coming together from the music and business side with this release. I have a style that allows me to stay ahead of the curve in terms of musical creativity and hip hop fans are at a point where they want fresh sounds and energy from artists.”
Far from a Hip Hop newbie, Wordsmith originally caught the attention of critics within Hip Hop circles by teaming with the legendary Chubb Rock with the release of their “Bridging the Gap” mixtape which was powered by the lead single, “OId to the New,” which had a huge following within collegiate circles. Bridging the Gap sparked the release of his 2010 debut “Vintage Experience” which garnered him praise for his creativity, witty wordplay and soulful melodies.
Recognized in the Allhiphop.com, “Breeding Ground” section for new artists, the acclaimed site states, “After only a few moments of speaking with Wordsmith one can see his advantage over other rappers. He is not only a talented lyricist, he also has a keen business mind and a willingness to learn.”
In an era where both established and emerging artists struggle for economic prosperity, Wordsmith has been able to utilize his business savvy to garner licensing deals with Nintendo, ESPN College Football, Six Flags, ABC and CBS to build his revenue and expand his fan base. Wordsmith attributes this business know-how to his college education and experience running his independently label which taught him to be creative and resourceful.
Fans new to Wordsmith will soon learn he is far from the typical rapper. The German born artist and son of a U.S. Army Colonel traveled the world as a child and developed a broad musical taste which included commercial, alternative, hip hop rock and the pure lyricism within hip hop. The heart of his devotion to lyricism can be attributed to his true influences within Hip Hop which include Redman, Tribe Called Quest and Rakim.
