Paradox Hiatus CD

After a two-year reprieve amidst the heavy humanity of life in Belize, Paradox has returned “home” with a head-full of experiences, an altered perspective on the United States, and a commitment to promoting positive change through music. ‘Hiatus’ is the first solo effort from Paradox, but with this release he shows himself to be no rookie on the mic, spitting observational wisdom about the things he’s seen and the people he’s known like a true old soul. Despite Belize’s influence, as heard in the heartfelt storytelling and thought-provoking introspection found throughout, ‘Hiatus’ remains firmly grounded in the boom bap tradition with its flurry of witty wordplay and braggadocios punch-lines. Not your average rapper, Paradox has something to tell you and plenty vocabulary to do it. Currently residing in Austin, TX, the “live music capital of the world,” Paradox has already started to make a name for himself as a crowd-pleasing performer.Before completing ‘Hiatus,’ Paradox was a member of the group 49 Stories, which shared stages with such hip hop favorites as Awol One, Josh Martinez, Mr. Lif, Fakts One, DJ Moves, MC Paul Barman, Grayskul, and Sleep of Oldominion. In 2003, 49 Stories dropped an album entitled ‘Blind Faith’ to considerable praise from critics and fans alike. In the words of one reviewer from hiphophotspot.com, “If one was to define meaning in hip hop music on a universal level, Blind Faith would sum it up... 49 Stories is a highly talented group that easily impresses fans with every word, rhyme, beat, and song.”Voicebox Records is the label that brought you:AES – ‘May to December’ (2003)Sentence – ‘There and Back’ (2005)Shovel – Self-Titled (2006)Booking & Publicity Contact:Matt Klassen469.867.8050Paradox@ParadoxHipHop.com
