Gothic Hip Hop

Some hip hop heads say I am not Hip Hop. Some goths say I am not Gothic. I say I am everything and nothing, the past and the future, the negative and the positive, love, hate, heaven, hell, god, demon, life and death. I see the darkness in the world because it is all around me, it surrounds me in time and space. The music I hear in my head will always be dark, melancholy and epic. A master storyteller with a wild, ethereal imagination of boundless proportions was born. When I was a kid listening to Hip Hop I was instantly in love, for there was a magic in the wordplay of some of the great lyricists, yet for me there was always something missing. The streets were covered whether in the hood or the burbs, party-time, in the club, ballin', ice grillin' the list goes on. I wanted something more, something with qualities of escapism, to go the kind of places that crept up in my mind regularly, but it didn't exist. So, I went from writer to rapper taking the grim, gothic overtones with me. Every song is a puzzle box, so perhaps you can call me Pinhead if this place I bring you to was truly Hell. This is not Horrorcore, so there is more to the tale then just blackness and despair. There is triumph, adventure, love, war and experiences that can only be described as epic. My world is OverHorde and you will go there every time you hear one of my songs. I am a testament to the fact that the world is yours to do with what you will. I am Gothic. I am Hip Hop. I am Gothic Hip Hop.
