Denzel Washington Convinces Rapper to Go On Spiritual
Journey
WYLDTHANG, member of the rap collective Desprado has
set out on a 52 week rap challenge after being convinced
to do so by Denzel Washington. Denzel was talking at
an engagement and he mentioned how God gives each one
of us gifts. he says, But when you use your gifts thats
your gift to God. I had never heard it stated quite
like that, and in that second I instantly knew what
I had to do.
WYLDTHANG had previously compiled a secret stash of
what he calls tiny tunes, which are songs that are 1
minute to 1 minute and 30 seconds long. I have a lot
of friends that have A.D.D or at least act like it.
he states, They have extremely short attention spans
so I wanted to make something for them that was straight
to the point.
The tiny tunes topics WYLDTHANG is cranking out weekly
range from the typical (money,cars,clothes) to the taboo
( love,life,happiness).
I remember Denzel saying, As you begin to share your
talents and gifts with the world, you begin to learn
trully who you really are. I thought about that for
a while. he reflects, After I realized I would be doing
the 52 week rap challenge I wondered what would I Iearn
about myself that I didn t already know?
Each week requires WYLDTHANG to talk about something
something different and by doing this he is gradually
peeling back the layers to who he is as both a person
and artist. The music is literally moving so fast he
can t stop to think if he wants to reveal this or reveal
that and in doing so he is seeing a true picture of
himself.
Man, I just try to stay focus and give something fresh
and unique each time. he says, Sometimes I amaze myself.
WYLDTHANG has performed alongside legends like Scarface
and Juvenile and was recently featured in the Dallas
Music Festival and the Legends of Hip Hop Tour.
Currently he is working on his debut studio album RIZE
which will be distributed by Desprado Entertainment
and the lead single from the project is called Good-Good
and features female rap artist Shawnna (DTP/Def Jam).
