The poet, songwriter and producer of
hip hop music known as BlkSknn has released his latest EP album,
“Disconnect.” The album contains seven original tracks for an
approximate total listening time of 20 minutes. The “Disconnect”
EP by BlkSknn has been described as “an audio story told by
BlkSknn,” and is presented by Blk English, who describe themselves
as “a collective of independent artists of all avenues with similar
progressive mindsets.” Inventive, poetic, and packed with social
commentary, “Disconnect” from BlkSknn has something for every hip
hop fan in 2018 and beyond.
BlkSknn cites as main artistic
influences a Tribe Called Quest, Nas, Musiq Soulchild, Andre 3000,
Bob Marley, Curren$y, and the American graffiti artist, Jean-Michel
Basquiat.
This last entry in his list of favorite
creative persons may seem out-of-place, but it makes perfect sense
when BlkSknn describes his aims for “Disconnect” and other music.
Basquiat painted separations: rich and poor, inner and outer,
integration and segregation. Like Basquiat, BlkSknn is deeply
interested in human connections – and “Disconnect”-tions.
BlkSknn says of his new EP, “My
project is going to share and explore the relationships we have as
human beings with the things we love the most.”
One of the latest colorful minds to
come from the music hotbed of Seattle, Wash., BlkSknn has been
described as “providing a new refreshing perspective on hip-hop
music and the music industry as a whole. The combination of his
uncanny rhyme patterns and infectious flows partnered with an
unparalleled lyric ability, BlkSknn has made himself into a musical
tyrant over the past year.”
One source writes of a recent BlkSknn
performance: “You can see the exponential growth. He's been putting
in enormous amounts of time every day to expand his range in sound
and substance, and it has helped him elevate his abilities in ways
that will one day touch the ears and souls of millions.”
Speaking of their own aims, the Blk
English collective of artists have gone on record to say, “We are
aiming to build a support system for artists who want to make a
change with their craft so that we all prosper rather than one person
in the city reaping all the benefits.”
The “Disconnect” EP album from
BlkSknn is available online worldwide from over 600 quality digital
music stores now.
