FAIMKILLS PEOPLE....

FAIMKILLS
San Bernardino/Riverside

Faimkills is a product of the Bling-Era immersed in the lineage of rap music. Beginning in 1996, he began using 100% analog techniques for recording in his bathroom using a cd player to playback beats while recording vocals and playback simultaneously with a tape recorder. After while, he learned how to layer his vocals on tape, greatly defining the sound and definition found in much of his vocal recording today. He continued for nearly a decade recording analog, passing mixtapesque cassettes with a select few at his high school. Upon entering college, Faim was turned on to the digital recording process using his laptop, Cakewalk Media Mixer, Creative Sound Blaster external sound card, and a Boston Audio karaoke microphone. Spent some cash, purchased Marshall mics, M-Audio pre-amp/usb interface, and Ableton Live 6. Homie it's a new day.

Faimkills is a musical interpreter blending sounds that would make a hybrid/mash-up act sound like the norm. Faim not only raps, but on occasion sings and screams if the mood is striking. Through out the course of his journey, Faimkills has held many monikers, finally resting on the ideology of his own manifestation, simply --Fame Kills. There is a thorough rationalization of the name, which is an ironic notion due to the fact that he is so far from being famous.

In any case, having been influenced by so many artists, events, and pedagogies, Faimkills has begun to find his niche in this abyss resting snug between Rap and "the underground, feeling like a mess of "true hip-hop" hardheadedness, extra-money-rap sentiments and stylings, artfully and tragically emo, and a giant elitist-indie-scene-hipster-fuck. The most important thing to note is that Faimkills is part of a neo-classical musical tradition, hopefully helping to break more barriers and stereotypical sub-genreism in order to make solid adaptations, interpretations, and innovations to the music game at large.

Barreling through songs of love, lust, jealousy, murder, car wrecks, Divine Interventions, cruel twists of fate, internal damnation, moments of clarity, money, cash, hoes, hope, confession, fast lives, drugs, internal monologues, propaganda, questions, beliefs, and songs that act more like a piece of literature, a play, or a movie, one thing is clear...Faimkills.
