What's the Story with Tah Phrum Duh Bush?
Tah
Phrum Duh Bush is an oddball amongst artists.
Straying
away from the cliché of today’s generic musical formats, Tah has set out and
attained his goal of not “Gold”, not “Platinum” but “Aluminum” status! No need
to check the sound scan dammit! It doesn’t change a thing. Tah Phrum Duh Bush
gives birth to themes of life that 99% of earth's population can relate to in
one way or another. From the pinnacles of mania to the deep fathoms of
depression, Tah's artistry represents both ends of the Chi, both sides of the
Yin-Yang and all shades of the spectrum in between. No holy person is without
sin and no sinner is without sanctity. Tah finds mid-ground without ever being
at a polar extreme for an extended period of time.
Tah
lets the partaker know that it's OK to be the oddball. It's alright to think
your own thoughts, it's cool not to
do things just to fit in. Without the self, there is only mindless
wandering in the herd. Tah welcomes you to the reality of..."Sunshine
or Pure Shade?!?!"
Tah's
Lyrical wizardry entrances the listener to frequently indulge in usage of the
rewind function on his/her listening device to catch metaphors of great magnitude
that manage to elude the weak of thought.
Tah's
debut album is entitled "Sunshine or Pure Shade?!?!" The title of
this collective of witty and bewitchingly cunning selections is itself a
question of Tah's introspection of life. This question is most clearly
exemplified in the closing masterpiece "Life and Death Dichotomy".
Tah ponders the contrasts between the themes of life and death and challenges
the common ideas that most are programmed and conditioned to follow and believe
in.
“Phlatbush” is another selection that
represents the very essence of the "Sunshine or Pure Shade?!?!"
theme. Tah is a native of Phlatbush (Flatbush). Phlatbush is geographically the
center ofBrooklyn, "the most culturally
rich city in the world." Just about every race, religion and social class
is represented there. In Tah's "Phlatbush" all the pros and cons, ups
and downs and diversity of this urban land are brought to life. It is truly
awe-inspiring how much information about a city of demographically indefinable
people is brought to the soul through the ear of the listener.
Tah
Phrum Duh Bush is an oddball amongst artists. This dude is so askew from the
norm he is often labeled a weirdo-nonconformist-freak... “Hey man this cat just
ain’t right!” Yet somehow, strangely his look doesn’t quite fit the bill! With
the comparability to the rawness of Redman, the Energy of the Roots, the
lyrical intricacies of Pharoahe Monch and the savvy of A Tribe Called Quest, Tah
has been seen on stage doing wide ranges of craziness. Tah can be found in the
bowels ofNew York City
on a stage dropping science and knowledge in one instant and in the next he's
stage diving with a hole-filled parachute with an egg beater in one hand and a
mic in the next. Consequently, Tah Phrum Duh Bush has chosen to represent
himself as the antithesis of all; the positive to every negative and the negative
to every positive; an oxymoron live in the flesh! To be succinct he’s the
epitome of "Filthy-Clean!"
There is neither good nor bad. There only is what is: Sunshine or Pure Shade
