Tori Fixx "Black.Out (Disc 1)" is bangin'

Hey, everybody, I have an artist to tell you about. He's independent and his name is Tori Fixx. He was a DJ for Prince. Hails from Minneapolis. I've been listening to him for a few years and he's just dropped his 4th album "Black.Out (Disc 1 of 3)" the album is hot! He is a rapper/producer/DJ/songwriter/extraordinaire. I just ordered a copy of it. Expermential hip hop/porno-funk at its finest! If you're looking for new music I recommend this artist. He's the only artist I know that's talking about racism/prejudice in the gay community in the song "Try (The Fixx Cabaret)," "Is it me or the Queer As cast doesn't seem to know any colored Folk." If you like experimental, underground or alternative hip hop PLEASE check Tori Fixx out. His beats are banged out, too. The man can produce his a** off. You'll scratch your head wondering how he came up with his beats. Check out music samples from the new CD at this link.

CD Baby Review:
Well on his way to becoming one of Alternative Hip-Hop's MVP's, Tori Fixx packs plenty of rhythmic jams, sexual exploration and lyrical introspection onto his latest CD (the first of three). Whether controlling every aspect of the party from bartenders to the DJ to the crowd on the dance floor ("Black.Out", "We Goin' In") or steaming up the proceedings ("Pornography", "Talk 2 Me"), T. Fixx continues to color outside the lines.

Leave it to him to pen an ode to male sexual liberation on the clever, tongue-in-cheek "And Daddy Makes 3" and "Elevator" ("Pitcher. Catcher. I do em' well with pride.") Tori's thought provoking, emotional and activist lyricism are top notch and best displayed on the eccentric, equal rights pleading "Try" and "Human Being", the heartbreaking "Rebound" and the bossa nova flavored, got-you-all-in-check anthem "Still Make Em' Dance".

It's been three years since a Tori Fixx had a full legnth release and CD picks up where Tori's Mochasutra left off. CD 1 is geared towards the club heads however this time around Tori is a bit more spiritual, socially concious and sexier than ever. Not to mention that his overall production, performance and his Porno-Funk sound have grown immensely. With this being the first CD of a musical trilogy (all slated for release this year), Tori leaves the listener wondering, "What's coming next?"
