The rapper and producer from Queens,
NYC has released his latest EP record, “Holy Trinity.” The album
comprises five original tracks for an approximate total listening
time of 20 minutes. It is the newest addition to Glitch Arsonist G5's
growing repertoire which popularly began with 2013's “Ten Years of
Writing,” to be followed by “The Great Tribulation,” released
on Sept. 11th one year later. All three albums have been
proudly published on the Establishment Records independent music
label, outside the scope and influence of the corporate music
industry.
Gritty, real, and written in the truest
tradition of the borough that first brought hip hop to the world at
large, “Holy Trinity” by Glitch Arsonist G5 is urban poetry with
a gospel heart and a New York soul.
Glitch Arsonist G5 has repeatedly cited
Nas as his chief influence, in addition to the work of legends like
the Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, the Lox, Cormega, Big Pun,
Beanie Sigel, and others. His own sound cleaves mostly to the darker,
heavy-hitting tones of Nas than to the others, but overall Glitch's
sound is his own.
“I used to always try to top [Nas's]
album lyrically after every time he dropped,” writes Glitch
Arsonist. “He used to put me in the real lyrical mood and state of
mind. He would have me rapping about that similar content and
mind-state for days.”
Bringing razor-sharp lines which
alternate between social commentary and spiritual inspiration, his
“Holy Trinity” is only the latest reason for rap fans to pay
close attention to this rising star from the East Coast.
Asked to describe the general theme and
message of his “Holy Trinity” EP, Glitch Arsonist writes, “Just
be yourself and anything is possible – and to also have faith in
God.”
Glitch Arsonist G5 grew up in the
Woodside Houses and was exposed to violence, robberies, blackouts,
and other harsh realities of the urban landscape. Though he had
always dreamed of a life in the NBA, Glitch began rapping at the
young age of 13 and before long had spent time in a Manhattan
recording studio. He has been described as “humble and consistent,
regardless of surrounding circumstances and the current climate of
the hip-hop industry.”
“Everything you do is a stepping
stone to the next stone,” Glitch Arsonist G5 has said. “Take
everything as a grain of sand and put your own sense into it. If
people ain't hating on you then there's something you're not doing
right, so don't let hate fold you. Always remain humble, because that
ego sh-t is no good. It might be good for recording purposes, but
it's no good for networking purposes.”
