When the gritty Rhodes makes it way through the speakers, you suddenly realize that you are not just listening to any standard hip-hop track. The beat on Mr. Fish’s new LP’s title track “Crazy Machine” stands out from the pack with the real instruments and the unconventional manner in which they are arranged. Then the lyrics and rhymes take over and bring you into the twisted world in which this eccentric artist spends much of his time. While I wouldn’t want to live there, it is an exciting place to visit. We anxiously anticipate the album’s arrival that is scheduled for July 4th, one day following his headlining performance at Lenny’s in Atlanta.
I had a chance to ask Mr. Fish what he learned in the process of making this album. “Personal awareness leads to truth”, he says. “Once your goals are in order, you can begin seeing life start to change around you. Some stick around, some don’t.”
