Edan - Beautiful Beats, Stormy Lyrics
Emcee/DJ/Producer/Musician/Artist Edan is a master of musical collage. His second LP, Beauty & The Beat
shoot my television walk out doors and explore
with the innocence of kids age four
I frolic in the sand with a colony of ants
my particles expand building oxygen in plants
from Rakim to Caz to Lakim Shabazz
illogically advanced with a knowledge of the past”Download Making Planets
Edan has associated himself with some of the rawest, most significant and established emcees and djs in the underground and in the biz at large. For example, check out his jam, Cut Chemist remix of Torture Chamber featuring Percee P.
In addition to time tested emcee, Beauty and the Beat features, Mr. Liff, Dagha and Insight.
Incorporating vintage pedals and digital effects keeps his show live, hitting hard on reverb and delays at key moments. Moving from the tables to the mic, to both at once is a feat few in the world can do well.
In addition to all that, dude does his own album art and has a singer/songwriter folk project on the side. Plus he’s environmentally conscious…“I don’t think human beings right now are doing too much to assess their relationship with nature, and just the natural ways of this world. Ultimately it’s about saving ourselves because once we cross that line the world will shit us out and revitalize and bloom once again as if we never even existed. It’s not really about save the earth as, respect the earth and save ourselves. And respect each other and love each other. And know that love is all we got here, and make most of our actions stem from that.”
- Grand GoodThe combination of all these seemingly disparate elements is Edan Portnoy, a hiphop jabberwok.
The artist receives an Oxhorn rating of “if you haven’t heard it, I will hunt your ears with a soundgun”
