GET TO KNOW ME...
The beautiful and talented Bless Roxwell was birthed by The Golden Age
of Hip-Hop. Always reading and writing poetry & short stories, the
music made an impression on her at an early age: "My older brother was
writing rhymes, performing and recording. So, as a little one, I wasn't
just listening to all the classics that helped shape the game, but
experiencing the creative process behind them as well".
Soon
Bless Roxwell was giving big brother a run for his money- her 2002 EP,
"Believe-In", featuring production by the Scratchismz Crew from Boston,
is a testament to those first few years of grind in The Big Apple.
"Combining my love for writing with such an influential Hip-Hop
background, well, rhyming just seemed like a natural progression," she
remembers. The 2005 self release of her first full-length project,
"8.2-3.95", solidified that progression and garnered heavy interest and
praise, as well as earning Ms. Roxwell a solid fanbase of support among
the die-hard and hard to please hip hop fans. It also got the attention
of Blackout Ink Records, which re-released it in 2006 and an alliance
was born.
So, these days, you'll find Bless writing her blog
"The Revolution of FRESH" which features her series, "She's So Fresh"
Fridayz! where she profiles female MC's and women in Hip Hop. She's
also writing and recording her newest project, a free mixtape for her
fans, "revolutions", in addition to rocking shows and promoting tracks
from her third effort, "Bless Roxwell:evolutions", released in 2008.
Production on "Bless Roxwell:evolutions" was again spearheaded by the
one and only, beat-wizard Ayatollah, however the two tracks from
newcomer MFutures have been well received by exploring a new sound and
claiming new fans for Ms. Roxwell. To feel the full experience, Bless
welcomes you to check out one of her red-hot live shows near you as she
blazes her way into the hearts of audiences and listeners. In the words
of Ms. Roxwell herself, "Embrace change because as you learn and you
grow, it's the only thing you can truly count on. I'd like for people,
when they hear my music, to hear evolution...the past, present and
future of Hip-Hop."
