After  spending  his  adolescence  building  up  a  street  buzz  under  the  name  Young Savage,   the   Philadelphia   rapper   Shawn   Smith   reclaimed   his   own   name   for   his autobiographical debut, SINK OR SWIM: A SHAWN SMITH STORY. Once known for his voracious freestyles and quippy punchlines, Smith’s latest chapter brims with big-picture storytelling  and  astute  social  commentary.  “I  figure  I  can  be  a  spokesperson  because they never gon’ be able to tell their own story,” he says, casting a light on his Southwest Philly friends and family.  “People being aware of that cycle could open their minds up,” he adds optimistically. And yet, there’s no preachiness in his perspective. Instead, Smith has figured out a careful balance in rapping about his upbringing: he’s equal parts sharp-tongued and warm-hearted.

Cess Citizen has spent five years writing his thoughts, feelings, and conclusions. This is how CESS CITIZEN has come to be a recording artist: one who looks past the normal oppression and into the characters and themes that make up the turmoil. The impact of his recent release, ‘Falling In Style’ is a vivid illustration of how Cess’s writing process finds balance in a chaotic world – working in conjunction with instrument based music, each song’s message is received either quickly or later with a powerful realization. Continuity is heard throughout the album’s musicality and lyrical elements that hold true to the ongoing theme of the album, which is growth and responsibility. Focus on family, business, and social responsibilities is Cess’s way of navigating the known and unknown in order to curate balance. Cess considered cadence very much to successfully collaborate with the smooth, upbeat, slow, melodic, and ambient sounds that make up the track list; this further advocated the album’s purest essence to come to a balanced conclusion by exploring what is known and not known – thus experiencing the process of growth. With an array of verses, bridges, and choruses: Cess Citizen is able to take the listener on a brief growth journey that ends where the listener starts.

No genre, just a crazy vision put to song.
