Messiah LIVE | Up Close & Personal @ Eden Lounge
Saturday January 14th
Since launching his music career circa 2010, Messiah’s voice has echoed on Latin American airwaves and in barrios around the world. The overarching theme of his lyrics is pride and swagger; there is a musical cadence even in his everyday speech. Yet, Messiah’s braggadocio doesn’t at all ignore complexity and context. His delivery is unrelenting and his rhymes often sound like they’re steadfastly bouncing off a concrete wall. More importantly, his songs are a sign of the times, proof that hip-hop really blew up and grew up. In other words, the 25-year-old is a rare breed of rapper, helping pave the way for future bicultural MCs and their mass appeal.
