Hey Guys! I wanna start giving you glimpses of the art and type of creativity that I do. So I figure I would start with one the most important to me, my 1st album. This was a long time coming. This a description and original write up for the release:
With the release of his debut EP “Motion Sound Picture” (Spring 2013, Definition Music LLC), Toledo/Cincinnati, OH artist HuntorPrey aims to balance these aspirations. Recently nominated for Best Spoken Word Artist at the Ohio Hip-Hop Awards, Huntorprey has toured
the country both as emcee and poet. Years of performing and writing has allowed Huntorprey to carve a unique and respected voice, building him an organic and dedicated following throughout spoken word and hip-hop scenes.
“Growing up, I spent a lot of my time watching movies, paying attention to the music and soundscape of films” says Huntor. “I began to use my own imagination, connecting these films to the everyday events of life. When I saw something happen around the block, I would subconsciously score the moment in my mind. I began to make cinematic scenes out of real life experiences.”
With “Motion Sound Picture”, HuntorPrey unites a distinctive personality with raw emotion and genuine heart, turning the details our eyes gloss over into an epic piece of audio cinema and engaging narrative. Constructed entirely by Ohio-based producer & label-mate Ill Poetic (The World is Ours, Synesthesia: The Yellow Movement), HuntorPrey lends a distinctive and desperate blue-collar Midwestern voice to a varied and gritty sound collage. The EP sets the stage for a wide spectrum of lush backgrounds, with influences ranging from MOP and Nine Inch Nails to movie scores and 80’s power-chord classics. Huntorprey navigates the terrain deftly with train-of-thought lyrics drenched in layers of metaphors and stark imagery, creating a vivid cinematic experience.
HuntorPrey leads his release off with the stunning David Damen-directed “This Way” video (Ill Poetic “Gone”, “The Enemies You Keep”). “This song is best described as CNN through the perspective of a 20something black man in the midst of a very real recession. It’s kind of a precursor to an EP that represents the heart and struggle of my region, but also the soul that lies inside. Even the most mundane events are filled with hope and pain” explains Huntor. “I can’t help but see life cinematically.”
I hope you guys enjoy as well.
