Brooklyn rap artist King Piff has
released his newest EP record, titled, “Loud Pack Music.” The
album features six original tracks over approximately 18 minutes of
playing time, and serves as a fine introduction to King Piff for
music fans who may not yet be acquainted with him. These tracks each
carry the infamous “Parental Advisory, Explicit Lyrics” sticker,
which is appropriate for Piff, an artist who takes an especial
interest in freedom of speech.
This is at least partially because
Panama-born King Piff's mind is a well-oiled machine, and he is an
artist with much to say. Luckily for fans of the hip-hop genre, he
says all of it with rap, and his taste in rap is excellent. Among his
most important influences, Piff names legends such as Nas, Tupac
Shakur, The Notorious BIG, Ice Cube and KRS-1, all of whom are
indispensable musicians. However, Piff's original inspirations to
music are names associated with some of the best and most seminal
hip-hop records, names which most rap fans have long neglected.
“I got started in music when I heard
L.L. Cool J's 'Rock the Bells,'” writes King Piff, “and 'La Di Da
Di' by Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh.”
Most of Piff's themes on “Loud Pack
Music” revolve around the ganja, and this is consistent with his
personal philosophy about honesty in public. King Piff does his best
to give people permission to speak their minds. In fact, the human
mind is something Piff takes very seriously in general.
“The lead track...” Piff says, “is
basically about my love for marijuana, the way it opens my third eye
and allows me to meditate and heal. I want people to feel like it's
OK to speak on their beliefs.”
Freedom of thought and speech are only
two of his concerns, though. At the heart of King Piff's new EP is
the love of old-school rap. “I’m bringing that real hip-hop
back,” he explains, “where you had to be able to captivate the
audience and tell stories.”
“Loud Pack Music” has a simple, yet
beautiful message for Piff's fans, also, one that any music fan would
do well to heed. “It’s cool to reach for the stars and your
dreams,” Piff relates, “as well as to listen to your inner voice
for reason.”
The hip-hop global populace can listen
to King Piff's inner voice as recorded on “Loud Pack Music” when
it is released online worldwide mid-March, 2013. Listen also for King
Piff's music as featured in the upcoming HBO film, “The Cross
Bearer.”
