BIO: After a two-year reprieve amidst the heavy humanity of life in Belize, Paradox has returned home with a head-full of experiences, an altered perspective on the United States, and a commitment to promoting positive change through music. "Hiatus" is the first solo effort from Paradox, but with this release he shows himself to be no rookie on the mic, spitting observational wisdom about the things he's seen and the people he's known like a true old soul. Despite Belize's influence, as heard in the heartfelt storytelling and thought-provoking introspection found throughout, "Hiatus" remains firmly grounded in the boom bap tradition with its flurry of witty wordplay and braggadocios punch-lines. Not your average rapper, Paradox has something to tell you and plenty vocabulary to do it. Currently residing in Austin, TX, the "live music capital of the world," Paradox has already started to make a name for himself as a crowd-pleasing performer. Paradox has shared stages and worked musically with such Christian hip hop favorites as Theory Hazit, Othello of Lightheaded, and Sev Statik, Listener, Playdough, and Beat Rabbi of Deepspace5.
