"MJ PARKER ASSURES US THAT “ERRTHANG IS POSSIBLE”"

I’m always worried when i hear MJ PARKER spitting. And no it’s not because he lacks talent; anyone who’d suggest that MJ is lacking would never be a friend of mind.

It’s just that he rhymes, recites, spits at such a mind-numbing rate it’s incredible to hear but he never takes a breathe. MJ’s like a superhuman tho, he excels — make that super-excels at a form of artistic expression that a tiny fragment of the population could imitate. Rappers are everywhere, i wish them all well but there are not too many MJ PARKER’s out there.

Whether he’s (i think) mocking conspiracy theories, or describing what’s in his brain, MJ PARKER’s moniker well-describes the mystery of Genius. Both MJ and Charlie Parker were misunderstood briefly, in their days. Hell, i still dont understand Thelonious Monk, yet i’d crumble and die if i couldn’t hear him again. De La Soul, beyond me. Tori Amos: way way beyond.

Having said all that, “Errthang is Possible” is perhaps MJ’s most-straightforward piece i think i’ve ever heard: with lines like “didn’t i tell you my ambition is to inspire those that can’t find hope?” And i believe him for the passion he pours out to the audience. He knows he’s a combo trendsetter/spooky-philosopher/esoteric humanitarian. (I just strung those words together because i dont dare try to define his music, tho i try and fail at dissecting it).

Luckily MJ PARKER is what he is: a complex poet whose philosophical cosmic and funky poetics take awhile to reach those of us who can’t understand how water boils on an invection stove.

December 23 tho MJ fans get an early gift: ‘Eclipse Tha Paradigm Of TIME Vol. 2’. It’s a mixtape, i’m guessing it’s free, if not you’ll hear no complaints from me. And i’d better hear no complaints from you.

Bio

Born August 28, 1991 MJ Parker is the 24 year old lyricist who makes music that represents his Idiosyncratic Paradigm, which he intends to title the name of his 2nd album, which will be in the genre of alternative experimental hip-hop/rap. 

He has recently recorded the demo and some finalized versions of the 15 songs that would be his first album, '0PULENT VALUE$ & VIG0R0U$ $WAG', if he were ever able to secure a distribution or production deal that would allow him to immediately place '0PULENT VALUE$ & VIG0R0U$ $WAG' in online retail stores while vending them at stores that sell physical albums at a more random yet current and opportune time within the project's promotional era or duration as a #1 priority of what MJ Parker's music means at any given moment.

'0PULENT VALUE$ & VIG0R0U$ $WAG' is about the lifestyle taken with MJ Parker's bizarre outlook on life that when we as humans, or any Earthling die on this planet we will become Alien: soundcloud.com/mjsharker2015/alien

All previous work including the 2 volumes of 'Eclipse Tha Paradigm Of TIME' and MP3: IDIOSYNCRASY were grounded and revolved around telling the stories of how MJ Parker develops this idea through self-cognizance and observing how that effects what he surrounds himself by in his environment.

He has been recording songs since the end of the 2012 summer and was writing spoken word poetry 10 years before that. The "vessel that occupies the music" of his 'Idiosyncratic Paradigm' can be found at: soundcloud.com/mjsharker2015

MJ Parker's song 'Alien' is about how his acknowledgment of the belief that when humans die their insular spirits will become Alien, as he raps in the songs hook, "When I cease to live I will become an Alien." His goal with his music that he believes is an 'Idiosyncratic Paradigm' is that he wants to inspire people to believe that Earthlings don't cease to live and the souls inside ourselves aren't mortal. When he performs "Alien" live he likes to affirm this belief with maximum potency and spread the cerebral-bending innovation that permeates throughout all his other songs and music on: soundcloud.com/mjsharker2015
