The rapper and songwriter known as the
Point Shown has released his latest full-length album, “The
Quietest Survivalist.” The LP has been proudly published on the
Droppin Hits Gang Ent / iH2D / iHipHop Distribution independent music
labels respectively. A roundly comprehensive album from the artist
also sometimes known as Young Denzel, “The Quietest Survivalist”
contains approximately one hour and 20 minutes of in-your-face hip
hop in no fewer than 17 original tracks. Shadowy, aggressive rap
music with heavy doses of urban poetry threaded throughout, “The
Quietest Survivalist” by the Point Shown is a rap record for the
modern era.
The Point Shown (often stylized as an
exclamation: 'The Point Shown!') cites as main artistic influences
Nas, AZ, Wu-Tang Clan, the Roots, Ice Cube, Scarface, Bun B, Outkast,
Boosie Bad-Azz, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield, Wilson Pickett, the
Stylistics, the Temptations, Isaac Hayes, the Jackson Five, the
Emotions, Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild, Anthony Hamilton, L.L. Cool J,
50 Cent, and Eminem.
Of these, perhaps the most striking
similarities can be drawn between Nas and “The Quietest
Survivalist” by the Point Shown. Fans of Nas have reason to be
enthusiastic about this latest offering from the Point Shown, as the
styles of the rappers have much in common. The Point Shown's lines
and rhymes are densely packed and often blend from one beat into the
next and sometimes even into the next bar. His songs are often highly
narrative and always lead by Point Shown's charismatic delivery.
Speaking of the theme of his latest
album, the Point Shown writes, “My message to listeners is to feel
my raw energy of hip-hop lyrics overtaking the original beats that
are infused with street elements from the east coast that can reach
out to down south, mid-west, west coast and international listeners
and appeal to all fans.”
The Point Shown grew up in Philadelphia
and began writing songs in the late 1990s. He appeared on Merk Beats'
classic “Philly Freestyles” mixtape series, and began producing
his own music under the mentoring of Beats, himself. He has appeared
onscreen and at venues across the United States. He often performs
for charitable events, perhaps most notably for the Lupus Foundation.
“The Quietest Survivalist” by the
Point Shown is available online worldwide.
