The songwriter and
producer of hip hop known as Michael Heathen has released his
official solo debut LP, “#uck Cancer.” The record is a charity
release with all proceeds benefiting the medical bills of Heathen's
mother and others likewise afflicted.
“#uck Cancer”
contains 12 original Michael Heathen tracks for an approximate total
listening time of half an hour. Like his other material, it has been
proudly published as an independent release without the involvement
of the corporate music industry on the G.L.O.A.T. Ent. record label.
Direct, packed with grooves, and surprisingly heartfelt, “#uck
Cancer” showcases Michael Heathen as one of the most intriguing
hip-hop artists the American South has to offer, and promises he has
plenty more where that came from.
In addition to the
considerable talents of Michael Heathen, himself, “#uck Cancer”
also features two performances by his longtime collaborator, G.
Champion.
The Dallas/Ft. Worth
Metroplex's Michael Heathen cites as main artistic influences Led
Zeppelin, Tech N9ne, Common, Eminem, Bone Thugs n' Harmony, and Tupac
Shakur. Heathen's own sound takes elements from each of these and
adds something fresh and unique for a result unlike anything today's
music fans have heard before. With an emphasis on verbal gymnastics,
gangsta-style instrumentation and enough bass to rattle any license
plate, “#uck Cancer” by Michael Heathen has a little something
for everybody.
Asked to describe the
overall meaning of “#uck Cancer,” Michael Heathen writes: “This
album was meant to be my first solo album release, and it is.
However, it is now transformed into a vessel to give back. All
proceeds from the album will be going to my mom to help recoup her
medical bills from her fight against breast cancer, the same cancer
that took her mother and sister.”
The Heathens come from
strong stock, however.
“My mom beat the
cancer,” he writes, “but it still took a toll. I want to be able
to help her back to her feet like she always did for me. If, for
whatever reason, this album exceeds that type of sales, then the
proceeds in excess of my mom's bills will go to help others in
similar situations.”
