| About Me |
|
Contrary to what many believe, I didn't get my name from a Tool song. I found it while looking randomly through the dictionary, and thought the term 'schism' fit me fairly well, given the ethnical schism in the house growin up (half black, half white), and the musical schism I face now (reconciling my rap lyrics with my love for punk and the blues can be tough as hell...) Anyways, when I was 14, I started out rhyming like Common or Talib Kweli, in the "socially conscious" vein brought on by the whole neo-soul surge in the late 90's - I only got good once I got into Eminem, and I got really good once I branched beyond rap. Now my influences range from Eminem to Lou Reed, Bob Dylan to the Ramones, Cream and the Rolling Stones back to Jay Z. Nowadays, I rap, make beats, and play a Fender Strat (Clapton IS God; those Bluesbreakers freaks were right!) - been in a couple bands, played the background, played the foreground, now I just wanna jam. I'll write, I'll contribute, just gimme whatcha got.
