Rapper’s Music Appeals to Listeners Sensory System

hip hop — Sat, 24 Jan 2009 05:21:40 +0000

Several people have lost homes within recent months and may be looking for solace. Of the few million people that have lost jobs, some could be sick at home or in a hospital with no visitors and no friends to cheer them up. Despair could be setting in for some with nothing to cherish but memories. One very remarkable way of coping, is the thought of using music to place the mind at ease or to use as a crutch. Will music replace a good friend? This is highly doubtful but it could be an excellent substitute in an hour of need.

Music is a powerful tool that can be used as a coping mechanism for the common good. It can bridge generational gaps, cross party-lines, cross gender lines and motivate people to act or accomplish goals. Famous athletes as well as Presidents have acknowledged that they have successfully used music, specifically hip hop music as one of their motivational or relaxation tools.

It is an undeniable fact that music can calm nerves, ease depression, uplift spirits and provide relaxation so it may be well worth the 99-cents that iTunes charges for a download. It is indeed a small price to pay for something that is so powerful and can provide entertainment 24-hours a day all year repeatedly on iPods, mp3 players, iPhones, a Blackberry or some other chosen listening device.

Music also allows for exploration, knowledge expansion as well as the opportunity to learn new, interesting facts about other people’s lives and experiences. One such person is an emerging artist that is quickly blazing onto the hip hop music scene with a unique metaphor-laden style of rap.

Music critics say: he is “well on his way to becoming one of hip hop’s most prolific artists” and Adam Bernard said: “I was instantly drawn to his song ‘Pull Up.’ Dope music and even doper story”. This artist is now producing the Vanguard Series – an eclectic mix of singles that has similar characteristics to music from Earl Klugh or Nas – a cross-blend of Caribbean as well as electronic sounds but with heavy drums and strings.

Who is this rapper? Jair Dynast, his space – a rap music community social network has been launched. Feel free to join, learn about this artist, interact with others that share in his passion, watch music videos and be a part of his inspiring musical journey with The Vanguard monthly Series.

Jair Dynast Hip Hop Music Art Investment

hip hop — Thu, 08 Jan 2009 06:29:01 +0000

Brooklyn, NY: January 7, 2009

Introducing Jair Dynast�s versatile, metaphor-rich and unapologetic rhyme style has been a labor of love for us here at eMultimediaGroup, Inc. We have not only personally invested our monetary resources into breaking this independent, unsigned artist with no major label affiliation but also our very souls are invested in his music, his message, his creativity and his innate entertainment value. Nowadays, artists will never get this sort of attention, investment and care from a record label.

With the death of the CD pending and the move to a digital only age, the business model is to exploit any and all income sources an artist can generate but there is little to no investment made in artist-development. Many artists are forced to go it alone, create their own buzz, invest their own funds and then share everything they have earned. Needless to say, Jair Dynast is not like many artists in so many ways, he is a good investment.

We first presented Jair Dynast as a producer with his album, �Curriculum Vitae� receiving support from DJs across North America with the single, �SnakeEyes� peaking at #4 on the top 30 underground hip hop Charts at RapAttacklives and Record Breakers. �SnakeEyes� displayed Jair Dynast�s ability to draw his audience in with his deep narrative baritone. The album as a whole showed not only the hip hop music industry but fans alike how good Jair Dynast is at composing all sorts of beats with his blends of Hip Hop, R&B, Reggae and electronic sounds to deliver a diverse, uncategorized sound.

Jair then hit the studio for about 2-months or so in 2006 wrote, composed, produced, recorded and mixed his 18-track debut album, V.I.A.L.E.N.C.E. The album was met with widespread critical acclaim producing a Top Ten Album of the Year nod from RapReviews and Beyond Race�s Urban Editor Adam Bernard, the #1 single �Vicious�, the video single �Converse� and the #8 Most Wanted at Radio 1 in Greece for its single, �Promise�.

At eMultimediaGroup, Inc. our company views our relationship with artists as a stakeholder experience – it’s more like a strategic music alliance. We are very concerned with artistic presentation, place a high value on artistic expression and Jair Dynast is a true artist in every sense of the word.

Jair wanted to share with the world not only his music but his artistic abilities and creative expression on all levels. We gave the talented rapper-producer all the leverage to be totally involved so he designed the artwork for the album. He wanted it to be viewed like a photographic novel. We agreed as we feel Jair�s lyrics always seem to vividly paint a picture that illustrates his life experiences and those of people he has been surrounded by all his life.

To give music fans even more value for their money, Jair also gave his own synopsis of each song on the album: why he wrote and recorded it and his feelings at the time. In the coming weeks, we will be sharing a new rap song from the album. Stay tuned!
