The irony of the L.A. wiseacre's new material is that he's a vocal wizard whose subject is instrumentals. Riffing in vintage acrobatic style about jazz history, ParanormL proceeds to add his own chapter, tricking out warm bop lines with lean beats and a hip-hopper's vision of a fireside chat.
It's 1992 in L.A. Southern California , a transformation is about to take place that will undoubtedly be recognized as a pivotal point in the history of music. Immersed in hip hop and seeking new avenues of expression, a 14 year old breaker/graffiti artist picks up a steno pad and a ball point and scribes the first of many rhymes that subsist deep in his soul.
From that point on, The ParanormL knew he had found his true calling. Deeply inspired by innovators like De La Soul, A Tribe Called Quest, Pharcyde, Souls of Mischief, he started the group S.H.P. (Seventh Heaven Planets) and began rockin' shows. The ParanormL produced, recorded, mastered, and performed on all of S.H.P.'s material, including the group's two albums ("Re-Evalution" & "Chemistry"). This experience served him well as he has matured and naturally progressed into one of Undergorund's most respected solo acts. On his first solo release, "Refrain from the Mundane", The ParanormL recorded 21 classic Hip Hop tracks featuring Crag Malkovich, Johnny Five, RedCloud, Earthworm & more.
The future is now, and while hip-hop is clouded by wack beats laced with simplistic fairytales and blatant fiction, The ParanormL drops his 2nd solo album "The PortaL" with stark contrast. 13 revolutionary tracks of banging beats, intertwined with mesmeric melodies, and conceptual lyrics delivered with unadulterated veracity. "The PortaL" takes you on a multi-dimensional journey back to hip-hop's roots and through it's rewritten future. Phoenix Orion of Alien Nation, Neila from Nomadic Sound System, and Gentle Jones heard on IllBoogie Records last Compilation, three of the underground's most brilliant emcees, join The ParanormL on his quest to revolutionize Hip Hop and bring out of it's current state of disarray.
The ParanormL sets him self apart from the rest by striving to stay the most diverse lyricist out on the scene. Doing albums that consist of a vast array of vibes and sounds killing the monotony and keeping things fresh. Being a huge fan of the whole Jazz era The ParanormL was allways greatly inspired by the ones who made it happen for us all true Hip Hop heads, from the likes of John Coltrane, Count Basie, Gershwin to Sarah Vaughn & Ella you will defintely hear the influence in his delivery and cadence.
The ParanormL has allways done the so called "Abstract Hip-Hop" and what he now calls "Jazz-Hop" since his conception into being a full time artist. There for you will never get the same thing from this cat and suprise is definite when listening to his catalog of music. Expect the un-expected and a ahead of its time sound. The ParanormL's next projects will be strictly Jazz orientated and more melodic than usual.
