Basically, the Blessing is Sime Gezus & Scissor Hands. They're both emcees and producers from upstate New York, and are currently working on their debut, "Always the Quiet Ones.."
Why this name?
Basically.. we see life backwards, shining light on the dark, and dark on the light, showing the good from the bad, and the bad from the good..
Do you play live?
Scissor Hands:
We've yet to play live together, however... I've done a few open mic shows & did a show with Realistikk and Sev Statik in Watervliet, NY.

Sime Gezus:
I did a few shows in Boston last year, and the year before.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Sime Gezus:
It gives heads a chance to hear music that won't get exposed anywhere else.

Scissor Hands:
I think it's pretty much destroyed the music industry in every way possible.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Uhh YEAH
Band History:
Scissor Hands:
The Blessing formed in 2003 and met through Wil Blaise.. basically I was feeling Sime's sh*** & he was feeling mine.. I've been rapping since 1998, and making beats since around 2000. I've released a few demos & one major Ep called "Wait Until Dark".

Sime Gezus:
He had like 3 weeks of school left when I met him.. it was when he had just finished Succubus. Basicallly this is my 3rd year f***in wit beats and spittin.
