Product Description
CD Description
WELCOME TO MY DREAM, by Texas artist Mark Griffin, better known as MC 900 Ft Jesus, is a collection of compositions that crosses musical and cultural borders while maintaining a unified sound and a singularity of purpose. The easy tag to lay on Griffin would be that of a "white rapper", but that would be both unfair and misleading. True, most of the lyrics here are delivered in a syncopated, urgent chant, but that'swhere the similarities between this and standard hip-hop end.
Instead of the gangster bravado or carnal boasting that many rappers indulge in, Griffin combines a sense of alienation with a poetic craftsmanship that renders his paranoiacshaggy-dog tales doubly arresting. His odd-man-out persona sometimes recalls the stance of late-'50s Beat poetry, an influence laid bare on "Dali's Handgun", with Ginsberg-like raving over acoustic percussion. Griffin's poetic ambitions are possessed of a more modern air on "Hearing Voices in One'sHead" and the starkly chilling "Falling Elevators", which find the narrator in a disaffected reverie that signifies without the aid of rhyme or metre.
