"Money is the reason why we're all mad, I never seen a dollar bill that went bad..." Russ Madison
I think one of my favorite things about being involved in the music industry, is the people you meet. Artists and the artistically inclined are always interesting people. Mr. Madison, aka Joose DeNiro is no exception. But, that's about the only area in which this man is no exception to the rules.
With a lyrical style that brings truth, emotion, and undeniable talent back to hip hop, he captivates listeners from all walks of life.
It's been a long time since an artist has caught my ear so completely.
And on so many levels.
Intellect, experience, raw emotion...
Wether he's freestyling in the whip, or killing it in the booth, every word drips with a dedication and skill that our lady hiphop has been missing for a long time.
Bronx native, currently blessing the Carolinas with his precense, Russ Madison doesn't just have the IT factor, he's redefining it for not only a generation, but for the game.
So, when you're turning on your radios (and I can say I feel like it won't be long, with complete faith) and that dj throw on Russ Madison...aka Joose De Niro...go head turn it up. Join the resistance.
