Imagine if Maya Angelou, Assata Shakur, Nina Simone, Bahamadia, and Ladybug Mecca united to become one Goddess MC — the result would be the word-warrior Semiratruth. I know for a fact if I could turn back the hands of time, her on-point rhyme flows would have the crowd at the Goodlife in the 90’s give her a standing ovation. This lyrical powerhouse is an instrument unto herself and every word she spits is a straight jewel. What I love about her songs is that she picks beats that are tools that help her paint her brilliant sonic paintings for us all to be transfixed by.
Semiratruth’s most recent album I GOT BANDZ FOR THE MOONLANDIN’ is an epic journey into the mind of a confident Emcee that has something to say! While I listen to her songs, I find myself saying to my inner being, how can I become a better human? Every song on this album is a perfect and balanced plate of audio soul food that will uplift your spirit with each listen. I want Semiratruth to know she is creating art that matters and it will truly stand the test of time. The Black experience in America is complex, and so are words of expression you will encounter on I GOT BANDZ FOR THE MOONLANDIN’. Blast “i tried to meditate on the ship” then tell me that your ears are in the presence of greatness!
