专辑简介

There are many talented entertainers in the music industry today. Many have worked hard for what they have and appreciate their success while others just went along for the thrill of being in the limelight but that is what separates artists from the everyday rapper. Only a handful of those artists have the determination to work until they reach a magnitude so high that it’s nearly impossible for society to ignore them. Meta-4, one of New York’s few up-and-coming lyricists and song writer is undoubtedly in that handful. Growing up in both the cities of Asbury Park, New Jersey and Brooklyn, New York, Meta-4 learned to quickly adapt to living in two different worlds. Even though New Jersey and New York are bordering states they’re completely different in a lot of aspects. Meta-4 utilized both experiences to his advantage by comparing both cities and making metaphoric references to social prosperity and poverty.

Influenced by an older cousin who was known for his smooth delivery of rhyming as well as being a regular in prison, 13 year-old Meta-4 picked up rapping and soon took over where his cousin left off because of his legal trouble. Now slowly but surely rising to the pinnacle of his career, Meta-4 is starting to notice the dreams he once aspired become a reality. Although he cold-heartedly departed a rap group, due to tension within the members, people find it hard to imagine him as being any thing other than a solo artist anyway. Now independently making moves from BET’s Freestyle Friday to various shows, interviews, and mixtape appearances, he shows no sign of slowing down. In a year when average album sales resemble the president’s salary (300,000) most artists have no choice but to feel uneasy about releasing anything where the sales get documented. However, Meta-4 is everything but worried as the release of his first independent album, Rap Ramadon, is underway. Without using a pen or pad, he humbly grabs words from out of space and puts them together like magic. That, along with his unique flow and swagger lead people to say “You must be from a different planet.”

In 2009, he’s making it his responsibility to give the people what they want and what they need. It\'s a difference according to him. “What they WANT is something catchy and/or something they can dance to. What they NEED is quality songs with hard and meaningful lyrics.” So when he gives you both sides of the coin, it\'s history in the making. “Pay attention to everything I say in my songs because it all means something beyond what your average rapper is putting together. Not being cocky, just being real.”

In addition to recording his new street album, he is shooting his first Documentary DVD titled \"The Docu-Meta-ry\" which will feature his underground career, never before seen footage of different shows, exclusive interviews, behind the scenes of his studio sessions, photo shoots, and his path to soon becoming an icon in the music industry. \"You get to follow my journey from Asbury Park to Brooklyn; from the studio to the radio station and exclusive coverage of what went down on Freestyle Friday.\" Currently, all you see on TV are artists that have already reached the famous plateau in their career. Now that up and coming artist are breaking into the world of mainstream media before being signed to a label, Meta-4 plans to give the world a look at his life before the fame. Wasting no time, he’s determined to rise to the top of the charts with his unique style & swagger and ultimately become your favorite MC.
