The final word is Seattle Hip Hop is eating off this new music in first part of 2011. But the year also offered some surprises. Like Brainstorm striking out solo after Dyme Def cam on the scene in 2007. How do you cut out into a new lane when you have already done so much work and people already know about you and your music. Then answer is simple approach your own project like it’s your first project. The plus is that with year in game you actually got solid people to call on and get help from. But Brainstorm recently did an interview with HipHopDX.com and laid out the truth about “The Celestine Prophecy”.
From the mouth of Brainstorm:
“People know Dyme Def as a group that makes good party-type Hip Hop music. But with The Celestine Prophecy, I wanted to establish myself as a solo artist. I felt like this was my personal testament, and everything on the project that I’m speaking on I’ve either done it or witnessed it.”
“Musically I wanted it to be completely different than what I was doing with the group”
“Personally, I hate rapping over my own shit man. I don’t know what it is, I think I may be one of the few producers that feels like that, but I’m one of them. I love my beats, and I love to hear Dyme Def and other people on them, but not me”
“I want people to look at this project and be like, damn this guy Brainstorm, he’s dope with Dyme Def and he’s dope on the solo tip. I want people to recognize that I am definitely a force to be reckoned with, and I feel like this project is a really good representation of me and everything that I stand for.”
