Count Bass D - The Gregory Hines of this Hip-Hop music thing...
BIOGRAPHY:
Some people DJ, others make beats. Heads everywhere spit lyrics—either off the dome or noted, and many are even recognized as true MC’s who actually manage to rock a crowd here & there. A few folks get by juggling two or more facets; and even a small number happen to be classically or self-taught piano players, drummers and strummers. Count Bass D does it all. And the fact that he also does it well, makes him the best in the business, pound-for-pound.
Count has been working to prove this since his decade-old debut, Pre-Life Crisis (Sony), where he recorded the only live rap album to date using all live instrumentation. Not only did he compose every note, pen lyrics, contribute the cuts and scratches--but he played most of the instruments.
With the release of his third solo-project, Dwight Spitz (2002), Count had mastered the art of the MPC sampler and now contributed a raw reflection of traditional Hip-hop beats & rhymes. The underground market hailed it, as it captured the essence of the culture. Rolling Stone (February 2003), classified Dwight Spitz as a “headphone masterpiece.”
BEGBORROWSTEEL (2005), contains elements of Dwight Spitz, but more refined and a touch more experimental. Though not as novel as Art For Sale (1998), BEGBORROWSTEEL is a clear example of a talented musician balancing rap music on his pinky finger. Count is presently in a Padded Room With A View plotting to take fall 2005 by storm with his next solo-effort.
