As Habeas say with his own words "Habeas is a 27 year old emcee/producer/audio engineer. He does his own production, writing, recording, mixing, and mastering. He started making Hip-Hop music back in 1998 and went to school for audio engineering 10 years later. He sounds like a mix between Atmosphere/Jedi Mind Tricks/Mac Lethal/El-P/Sage Francis/Oh No/Wu-Tang Clan /Madlib/RJD2/Soul Khan/Aesop Rock, all rolled into one person. His music doesn't always fit the usual Hip-Hop or Rap guidelines. He's constantly progressing and becoming better with each song. Instead of fitting into the regular guidelines of Rap and Hip-Hop, he's writing his own guidelines, which are very broad and unrestricted. Habeas is considered a vet in his home state of Arizona. He is most recognized as 1/3 of The Natives Are Restless and is also a staff member of the now National Emcee Battle League based out of Tucson, AZ called Voicebox Battles."
" This latest project is about Habeas taking the time to make his own solo album. The title track and first single "Breath Of Fresh Air (Gotta Get Away)" explains thoroughly the reasoning behind Habeas creating this solo album. Although the album was made for Habeas's own satisfaction and enjoyment, and not someoneone elses, it's basically a guideline for the up and coming rapper on how to make a hip hop album. Each song is very relatable for the 99% of the people in the world and their daily struggles. It's about not giving up and trying your best no matter what challenges are thrown at you. The sound for this album is clearly Boom Bap, Diggin' In The Crates, pure Hip-Hop, with multi syllable rhymes schemes, and internal rhyme patterns, with a 90's feel delivery and cadence. The lyrics never stray from the topic of the content on each song. It's a "Breath Of Fresh" musically and sonically from all the music industry puppets who lack creative control, it's also a "Breath Of Fresh Air" to help you cope and get away from the stresses of life that sometimes consumes us and makes us claustrophobic." - Habeas.
In other words, this is a up and coming hard-working artist, emcee, producer and engineer. Check out the album through the links under:
