| Count Bass-D (a.ka. Dwight Farrell) admits he has
been "cursed" ever since he was a young child. He has the curse of being a
musician at heart and nothing more. "There's nothing else I could do. I call it a
curse because it's not necessarily the lifestyle I planned to live, but I just can't make
it go away. It's in my blood and I accept it." On his second album, Art for Sale,
Count takes his "curse" to a new level, intertwining all realms of music to
create his own genre. |
|
| His debut album, Pre-Life Crisis, received
massive praise from critics including a spot on Entertainment Weekly's Top Ten List.
Mixing a montage of jazz/soul/gospel along with his comedic wit and hip-hop influence,
Count began waking people up to a new original sound. Rap Pages said, "Pre-Life
Crisis is the type of mantiquilla that should be oozing out of speakers from here to
Mars." The Source concluded, "Count Bass-D is a new MC that has practically
emerged from nowhere with some of the best hip-hop jazz to date." |
|
| Now at the age of 25, Count has the experience of
releasing a major label debut and touring with renowned musicians such as George Clinton
and Branford Marsalis. Art for Sale is further experimentation into his own genre.
With influences such as Earth, Wind and Fire, Billy Joel, and Curtis Mayfield, as well as
TV show songs such as Fish and Fat Albert, Count gives us newfangled sketches of life from
a different perspective. Art for Sale contains a collection of tracks that expose
his pondering of current culture and society with a dark comedic approach that has not
been so masterfully done since De La Soul's Three Feet High and Rising. Within all
of his brooding though, Count leaves plenty of room to make fun of himself and the
mistakes he has made. Art for Sale this page is courtesy spongebath
