From Author To Hip-hop Artist

Heti is a new artist emerging from the Republic of Haiti. He first began narrating his experiences in the book titled "Knowledge Never Overshadows Wisdom, K.N.O.W." and now releases an hip-hop album titled "Godbody".

Washington DC, D.C. (prHWY.com) July 9, 2010 - Heti is a music artist hailing from the Island of The Republic of Haiti. He comes from a diverse background in sound and culture such as hip hop, reggae, and Haitian Music, but there is more to his music when you take the time to listen. At the age of 10 years old he arrived into the United States as a refugee during the political violence of his country in the early 90's. He adapted quickly to the new environment and began to grow a liking to hip-hop music. Soon he began writing rhymes narrating his thoughts and experiences in the world, a world judgmental to the young black males. After running into legal trouble in his late teens, Heti decided to begin a new path in life. Being an advent reader he soon wrote and published his first book titled "Knowledge Never Overshadows Wisdom, K.N.O.W", which highlights the wisdom gained through his experiences. but he admits that his love is in the music, and his goal is to speak about the subject of his book in the music. This is not uncommon as many artist are both writers and musician, artists such as the late Tupac Shakur, KRS One, The RZA, 50 Cent, all fall in the list of artists who published books. The difference in the case is that Heti was a writer before a began making musician, which points to the notion that "if an artist really has something to say, he/she would write a book".
His debut album, "Godbody" is a great display of talent to say the least, but it remains to be a teaser until the sophomore album follows and gives a better sense of who he is. The first track "Godbody" is demanding in tone, a calling to bring forth the inner powers. "Tha Story" explains his journey from Haiti to the U.S., his trails in life, and gaining of identity. "Plans to Rule" is the third track on the album, expressing his aim to ruling himself and his surroundings. "Understand Me" is another track that clarifies his mentality and the character that he is, with rhymes like, "true to myself and never will these cowards change me; love and respect is in the hearts of the realest". Track five "Traveling", explores his fascination with traveling in a mental, physical, and spiritual sense. "Contemplation" delves into the pressures that the artist has faced in the world and the things observed through his experiences. "Champion Chant" is a single dedicated to the people of Haiti in light of the tragic earthquake that occurred in January, reminding his people that freedom is a battle thus as a people they must fight to overcome. "Go Hardd" testifies to the unrelenting drive and the ability to bring forth the warrior spirit. "Ryda Mix" is a remix of the original track featuring MK, another upcoming from Haiti. What tops it off is knowing that this album was recorded in just weeks. The album is definitely worthy of being listened to, it is available in itunes, Amazon, and all major retail stores. Expect a refreshing sound when Heti makes his introduction.
