Im just a guy with a passion for music and lyrics. This crazy cat CeriousComplex does most of my beats and production, and youll soon see some stuff coming out with Def Starr. I feel i bring something unique to the hip-hop world.
Why this name?
I go by acute because it exemplifies my stance on things. Im precise in everything i do and every word i choose to speak is used with the most explicit of intentions. Im also going by Honest J now but that has a much more complex explanation.
Do you play live?
Ive participated at a couple of local emcee battles and post alot on EMCEEFORUMS.com, you can catch me freestylin' at a lot of parties and even out at the bars sometimes, pretty much anytime theres some people to spit with.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
The internet is the new key to reaching the masses. Through it, unknown artists like myself have a chance to put music out there for all to hear (and like). It also helps to undermine the power of gigantic corporate record companies tyranny over the business.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
In a second...As long as my rights as an artist are upheld and I dont have to succumb to the wishes of some tie wearing, easy listening, yuppie scum bag... Or if the $$$$$ is right and i can quit turning wrenches for a living!
Band History:
Im a 21 year old philosophy/pre-law student @ the University of Kansas. I was raised in a suburb of Kansas City and have been listening to hip-hop and freestyling since early high school. Only recently (2005), have I attempted to hone my skills and produce quality full length songs workin with CeriousComplex and Def Starr.
Your influences?
All the artists on Rhymesayers (Esp. Slug and Brother Ali)and lots of other underground hip-hop, I'd say my style is intellectual and complex, something you really have tune in to in order to get something out of it, for more of my musical style see CeriousComplex or Def Starr's page.
Favorite spot?
Montego Bay, Jamaica: right near da beach
Equipment used:
simple-a pen, some loose leaf and a microphone. Ive never even set foot in a booth or studio...
