Cassettes Wont Listen and Bisc1 have been long time collaborators; in fact CWL has lent his production skills to every Bisc1 project to date.
"Turbulence" in Bisc1's own words:
"Strap in and enjoy the ride"
"Life is full of highs and lows contrasted with left and right turns. Variables arise that can throw you for a loop adding the element of unpredictability to the plans. In a world of so much contrast, a steady search for balance is inevitable. "Turbulence" is a reflection of the decisions made, the ones ahead and the encompassing second-guessing that comes with those predicaments. Becoming addicted to these choices and changes there is a constant attempting to grasp the unknown. The message is clear, "You wanna rock with b? Enjoy the ride. Lets go back and forth. Side to side."
The Background:
A native of Massachusetts by way of Connecticut, Bisc1 moved to NYC 10 years ago and quickly made a name for himself DJ'ing at clubs, distributing mixtapes, and in graffiti circles. Soon, Bisc1 picked up the mic and won several battle raps including the Whose Line Is It monthly at the Knitting Factory in NYC 4 consecutive months in a row. His debut release, The Basics EP (2006), gained the favorable attention of music critics and his subsequent release, The Stay Up Project mixtape (2007) was downloaded over 5000 times. Bisc's penchant for capturing our chaotic reality with his narratives, images, and collaborations has earned him a reputation as one of the most honest and creative artists of today. Going beyond music, Bisc1 is also an accomplished graphic artist. He's done cover art, designed promotional materials and spearheaded art direction for artists such as Aesop Rock, The Perceptionists, C-Rayz-Walz, Murs, El-P, and others. His art has been featured in several magazines and art house coffee table books and in galleries, such as Danny Simmon's Rush Arts Gallery. When Electric Night Falls, for which Bisc did all the art direction, will be available March 11th on Embedded Music.
