Ordeal (hip hop)
Ordeal is a 28 yr old mc from southeatern massachuasetts. he began writing rhymes at age 10 and recorded two albums in 2004 and 2005. Beat On Beat Off Jesus and its follow up the Bird Shit Optimist has been heard and loved by many and now after a few yrs of trials and tribulations followed bu a lull in creativity, ordeal is back and demoing songs for his upcoming third album "Good Night and Give Up...".
Ordeal's music can stand up to the output of any artist releasing underground hip hop today. His music is a testiment to the artistic integrity of underground musicians who craft music for the love of their art not for financial gain....Band/artist history
i started writing rhymes at ten. recorded demos with omni in 1999-2000, met abbadon in 2001, made 2 albums 1 in 2004 one in 2005. it all really came together when i met abbadon in new hampshire. he really got me into the artHave you performed in front of an audience?I have played shows. In 2000 i played a couple shows with a rapcore band i was with at the time called 508 at a club called Reflections in New Bedford, Massachusetts. Later in 2001 i performed with my producer abbadon at the elks lodge in laconia NH a few times. twice as opening act lifted, and once as opening act for passage of restiform bodies (anticon records) and fierce skribble jam competitor Adeem.
Performing is really what its all about. i mean u do it for the music but of course u want to reach ppl. There were sum cool moments. When we opened for lifted, a guy dressed like a blues brother hopped on stage with a briefcase, whipped out a harmonica, and joined the band b4 going hed to hed in a harmonica battle wit lifted mc justin delate. that was cool. And getting to performed with known artists like passage and adeem is the hi light of my resume
