This is a brand new EP entitled "LET THE CHURCH SAY...AMEN!" by Milwaukee Hip Hop artist/poet, Mad Static (aka me.) This all was recorded within the course of four months, however this is the first project in two years that I am releasing to the public.
"LET THE CHURCH SAY...AMEN!" is comprised of six tracks giving a bird's eye view into every single one of my thoughts and emotions over the course of the last two years. From frustration to doubt, fear to accomplishments, no word is held back, as I tap into my deepest emotions in order to give the public what they want and love from me. Hip Hop that’s RAW, POETIC, AND UNAPOLOGETIC!!!
Much love and thanks goes out to Philly Anderson, Allen Halas, and Jaybyrd for contributing their productions and or words to this project. As well as a special thanks goes to Adlib for contributing his mixing/engineering skills to the project!

Mad Static's "LET THE CHURCH SAY...AMEN!"

The second track from my #FUCKWHOIOFFEND Summer series, as well as both an unreleased track from the vault, as well my debut on SoundCloud. This song made on an instrumental from Anno Domini Beats, touches on looking for answers and seeking guidance, while doubting yourself and questioning your worth. I was in a really dark place at the time of writing this, struggling with promoting music, finishing school, and feeling as if I am too far behind in life, while everyone else seems to be on their feet acheiving their goals and dreams. Regardless of how many people listen to this song, I feel it is a weight lifted, now that I've finally released it. Enjoy!

Untouchable (featuring Jaybyrd)

Mad Static is a hip-hop artist, poet, and songwriter, based out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Throughout his life as a teenager, he looked to music (specifically hip-hop, metal, and alternative rock) as a way of dealing with the pressures of high school and living up to others' expectations, that nearly led him to depression. Ever since he first performed poetry for his high school talent show, Static began going non-stop at writing and doing whatever it took to get his name heard. 

Around 2005, Static decided to make hip-hop music a full-time ambition, as he began to collaborate and network with other local artists, in hopes to find his signature sound. A sound that would mix his spoken word roots, with other influences from his days of studying rap music, that ranges from everyone well-known to underrated. If not enough, a lot of Static's songs incorporate themes of mostly heartache, loss, and paranoia with the world around him, and recited in almost a stream-of-consciousness delivery. While the instrumentals behind his voice are subdued in hard-hitting drums, strings, pianos, and the subtlety of guitars, noting of his rock influence. 

Mad Static is a man of many personalities, emotions, and ideas, to the point where you never know which side of him you'll get. However, at the end of the day, the one thing he makes clear, is that he doesn't rap for money, or fame, or anything materialistic. When he writes, it is to tell a story, when he speaks, it's to express his pain, and when he performs, it is to share the moment with those around him. Music is much more to Mad Static, and for those reasons, it is why to this day he remains an artist that refuses to compromise or dumb down to be the best in the game.
