Eprhyme Releases New Music Video

eprhyme — Thu, 17 Nov 2011 17:10:31 +0000

We are excited to announce the world premiere of Eprhyme’s latest music video, ‘Life Sentence’!

‘Life Sentence’ is a poetic exploration of solitary authorship — interpreting the old-world literary tradition and archetypes for the ‘ADD’ generation. This is a boundary and genre-crossing work that exists at the intersection of Radical Jewish, Indy and Hip-Hop culture.

High-brow vs. lo-fi at its best!

Special thanks goes out to everyone who supported the project through Kickstarter, director Lenny Bass, colorist Eric Alvarado, co-producer Amy Smith and choreographer Dages Keates.

Enjoy!

Eprhyme in England! 8.25.11

eprhyme — Mon, 08 Aug 2011 18:08:14 +0000

In just a couple weeks I will be hopping on a plane across the Atlantic to play at an awesome outdoor Jewish music festival called LimmudFest. Limmud is an amazing conference centered on diverse and pluralistic Jewish learning and community. It was started in England over 30 years ago, and is now literally world-wide, with Limmuds taking place on at least 4 continents. I will be performing and teaching a handful of classes on esoteric Jewish teaching and creativity. If you’re in England, or know people there, let ‘em know that Eprhyme is coming their way, and they don’t want to miss it!

Don’t miss Eprhyme this summer at The Isabella Freedman Jewish Retreat Center where he will be performing and teaching at 2 amazing in-depth retreats. These will both be amazing opportunities to work with and learn from some of the most exciting Contemporary Jewish Thinkers and Cultural Catalysts. And there are rumors that Eprhyme will be presenting never before seen pieces from his newest experimental Hip Hop Theater project!

“Orthodox Hip Hop On An Indie Rock Stalwart”

http://www.jewcy.com/arts-and-culture/music/orthodox-hip-hop-on-an-indie-rock-stalwart

“Eprhyme really maximizes his potential on Dopestylevsky, making one of his strongest efforts to date. It makes Calvin Johnson seem like a visionary finally returning to hip hop to release such an album.”

http://survivingthegoldenage.com/eprhyme-dopestylevsky/

“The music draws from guitars, synthesizers, loops and several other media. Eprhyme’s rhymes are tasteful and clever, and his voice is magical. It dances over his rhymes, animating them in a singsong manner. The beats are clever and diverse, and there’s more to the music than a heavy hitting bass. This is an album for the hip hop connoisseur who is interested in a variety of genres.”

http://www.newsrecord.org/living/entertainment/alternative-artists-unleash-new-tunes-1.2559454

“Eprhyme uses a cross-continental perspective to shake his sound free from (regional) distinctions, embracing many instruments, rhythms, and textures with a jazz-man’s ear for bringing the disparate into harmony.Think Kanye West, but less self-indulgent and more experimental.”
