"Altered" is a non-distributed mixtape by Erinem.

This entire album was made in just one week. This was not my choice by any means -- as I prefer to take my time with everything, because I'm kind of a hopeless perfectionist. 

At the time of these recordings, I was working with a consultant, who ended up being just another worthless crook. As so many are.  This project was forced to be brought to completion in just one week, at the demand of this consultant. 

I don't know how I managed it, to be honest. But, it's my philosophy that even when something is very, very, hard... it's not ever truly impossible. "Hard, but not impossible" became the running theme of this album, both in process and in product. 

This album was actually written and recorded in the second week of June, 2020. While this consultant made a thousand excuses to me, this album sat on my hard drive and collected dust. It just was never "the right time" or whatever. 

"Altered" was recorded at Loud House Studios in Atlanta Georgia, June 2020. I would not recommend that studio, to be honest with you all. 

However, at the time I wasn't calling the shots for myself, so, things like that tended to be out of my control. The original projects were so badly engineered, it took an engineering genius to sort through it all and re-route everything correctly. 

I have to give a special shout out to *Guy Bartov* the extraordinary, prodigious producer and audio engineer who saved this project, and resurrected it from the state it had been left in. 

I also want to give credit to the album art artist, who did a PERFECT job bringing to life the imagery I had in mind. Her name is Jenn Nolasco, and she's insanely talented. 

This project is a tribute to self reliance, and to lessons learned (even if they have to be learned the hard way). I'm done trusting others to hold my hand and lead me to my destiny. Instead, I've cleaned house and released this project (along with my officially distributed album, "The Gambit") all on my own. 

Even a year later, I'm still glad this album is getting out there. Hard work deserves to see the light of day.

lyrics: 
i am not good with my problems
always use weapons to solve em
don't give a fuck bout my enemies
i let em rest in the bottom
i can't wait 
oh no
for the day you give up
i couldn't fake
no more
you were never enough

NEVER ENOUGH ft. ELIZA RED

Erinem is a female hip hop artist, based out of East Harlem, NYC, but has recently relocated back to her birthplace in Texas. Born Erin Emily Wheeler, Erinem gets her artist name from a combination of her first and middle name. She originally went by the artist name Emcee Erin Emily, which was eventually shortened to Emcee Erin Em, then Emcee ErinEm, and eventually became just Erinem.

Influenced heavily by artists out of Aftermath, and the golden era of hip hop, Erinem is poised to make her mark on the mainstream. Erinem makes every part of the songs she releases, from making the beat to producing the track, to writing the lyrics (no exceptions). She is known to be a perfectionist, and she obsesses over the details. Erinem was almost on a totally different path in life, going to an Ivy League grad school in NYC for poetry, which she called a “mute art” and found that it never really fulfilled her. Living there in East Harlem, she found hip hop. She quit her job, sold her apartment, and moved back home to Texas to be able to pursue music full time, which she has done for the last 6 years, in which time she as an artist has experienced tremendous growth.

In that time she has worked with notable artists, including a feature from Bizarre of D12. She stands by lyricism, hard work, and integrity in your field. She believes in long hours, a focused working environment and isn't driven by a need for money or fame. She’s often heard saying, "I just want to work with my peers."
