7evenThirty – Acapella @ Deep Ellum [Video]

It takes an inventive and creative mind to stand out as an MC in today’s crowded climate. 7evenThirty has a sound and style unlike any other. The Jackson, Mississippi native has spent years grinding, finding his sound for the album “Heaven’s Computer” – a concept LP that has been taking hip hop heads on a ride ever since it was released last month. 7evenThirty’s space age gangster narratives take the run of the mill gangster persona and complicates then deepens it by examining it in the context of other planets and space travel. Recently, while out in Dallas, 7even made a pit stop to showcase his flow acapella and on camera. 7even spits his bars in front of an enormous metal space man statue, fitting as it almost hints at the fantastic world 7even weaves with his lines. The verse he spits is murder. 7even details how he’s a “Southern style sinner with sinister cynicism”, and spits acrobatic lines about “popping brains like pimples” and robbing Will Robinson before ending his verse with a new take on the southern slang of being dripped out and draped up. 7evenThirty’s “Heaven’s Computer” – a funky space age gangster story – is told in some of the coldest bars you’ll hear in a minute.
