The rapper, songwriter and producer of
hip hop known as Tommie Hooks has released his solo debut, “Falling
Out the Sky.” The album has been proudly published by the Royal
Family independent record label without the inclusion of the
corporate music industry. It has been released with an official music
video available for viewing online now (link provided below). Poetic,
socially relevant, and charged with conscientious political
criticism, “Falling Out the Sky” proves that Tommie Hooks has
lines and rhymes for days and days.
Asked to cite some main artistic
influences, Harlem, New York's Tommie Hooks writes, “I
am influenced by life experiences, current events, other artists,
people and vibes.”
Hooks
notes that while he grew up on and in the music scene, he was chiefly
“inspired to write by my older cousin #freeTerranceMoore.”
The
closing hashtag is a hint at the activism that lives in the writing
of Tommie Hooks. His music has soul and groove, boom and bap, yes,
but perhaps more than anything else, it has purpose and meaning.
“Falling Out the Sky” in particular points a wagging finger at
the great amounts of social injustice and political corruption facing
the United States in 2018.
Speaking
of his new album, Hooks says, “I believe it provokes thought and
creates awareness through clever and witty wordplay with soulful
flows and a humble but demanding delivery, if you can fathom. It is
my opinion that each song has different vibes depending on your mood.
For example, you can party or you can mellow out, you can work, you
can work out, you can hit the highway, or you can be conscious and
perhaps gain a jewel. It is all there.”
Tommie
Hooks' current official bio describes him: “My name is Tommie
Hooks. People also know me as 'Tommie Gunz' from Harlem, NY. I have
always had a passion for music. I've rubbed elbows with many artists
and producers, including DMX, Joe, Aaron Hall, Vado, Moe Mansun, Jae
Millz, LOX, D. Dot, DJ RonG, Pop Shyt, Ron Jones, Capitol J, late
great BigL, the legendary KRS One, and multi-platinum producer Dame
Grease, just to name a few. I was signed to Jive Records as a member
of the brotherhood, Mic Vandalz. My solo debut is 'Falling Out the
Sky.'”
“Falling
Out the Sky” from Tommie Hooks becomes available from over 600
quality music stores online worldwide beginning 4 February 2018. Get
in early, hip hop fans.
