Presenting 'The Introduction' - the debut album by Scizzorhands

28 November 2019 - 0 Comments

Out today, independent artist Scizzorhands is proud to be releasing his first ever musical project.

Hundreds of beat ideas, multiple demos and hours of learning about music production have led to an different approach to Hip-hop. A journey from “oldhead” sample based beats to new style production - crossing into live recording, it’s a record that’ll take you through the eclectic mind of Scizzorhands himself.

The seven-track record, produced by Scizzorhands, features artist appearances from J.Dilla, collaborator and Detroit’s powerful voice of the underground Guilty Simpson. Plus an array of local New Zealand talent with the likes of the 9-5ers members Sabe, Edgar and HeefHakaBoogie; along with Kenny Slade, Diggy Dupé, Unchained XL, Kevin Posey, Gino October, Kloos, Dremayer and Omega Levine.

For the introduction, Scizzorhands tells a story through his production. An insight and ‘introduction’ to who he is as an artist and a person. The rough-edged Boombap lover and his laid back side . The artists chosen for this record bring together the correct energy and feel for how the story was to be told.

In the making of the introduction, Scizzorhands also came to a realisation that a big inspiration for of his music taste came from the suburb he calls home, Avondale.

“This is my first piece of work being released to the public in my name and I feel vulnerable” he reflects, “so I think it’s only right to be myself and make music with artists I myself like to listen to, and if people like it or can relate, that’s dope.”

The EP comes with heavy gritty stories with tracks like Money In, Money Out and then a softer heartfelt vibe with Let Go.

A lover of Hip Hop culture as a whole and its first element - DJing, Scizzorhands finds the time to teach the artform to up-and-coming DJ’s. “It’s a way to keep the culture I love alive” he states, “DJ’s and artists of yester-year complain about how the artistry used to matter. I believe to keep the artistry alive complaining doesn’t help, finding a medium to teach the artistry does. Hip-hop kept me out of trouble and focused, so if it can do that for me I’m sure it’ll help for others.” He also states that Hip-hop “is a culture for the cultureless - being a kid with no cultural identity I found my culture in Hip-hop music.”
