FINESSE’ STRIKES A CHORD W/ STYLIN’

It’s not everyday that you come across a 16yr old rapper and when you do, you can’t help but expect for their tracks to imitate the rhetoric and tunage that over-saturates our radio-waves today – phat catchy beats with tasteless lyrics governed by materialism, sex and violence. Now turn all that around, remove all stereotypes, keep the phat catchy beats and you’ve got a lyrical mastermind, a musical humanitarian, a 16yr old with a vision and a gift. Trey Nelson aka FINESSE’ from St. Helena, SC , promises to change the rap game by throwing tracks back to the days when rappers empowered society through music. Say what?

 “I started making music for others that like music with substance and conscious thought. I’m 16 years of age, started last year when I released my project Persona: Legend of Wolfay, which showcased a poetic ability to describe my personality as well as my philosophy of ROM which stands for Romulus Overtaking Metropolis. What that means is that the traditional method of soul in hip-hop can overtake this mechanical music on the radio driven by drugs, no-emotion, and money”.

At a young age FINESSE’ delved into poetry and writing so rapping came naturally. His music promotes the idea that knowledge is power and words have weight. He states that it’s all about enlightenment when you are in his presence and listening to his music – He aims to spit wisdom and reveal truths by taking you on a moral merry-go-round: a visually descriptive and mentally stimulating poetic collage of fates and realities emerge through his rhymes, yet he keeps the fun and the positivity factor high with a natural light chorus. Check out, download and share the buzz-track “Stylin” by FINESSE and make sure to look out for his upcoming album, Ultima Thule, release date September 19th, 2013.
