“If you trust yourself, any choice you make will be correct. If you do not trust yourself, anything you do will be wrong.”
The human mind is not an already fully informed and developed organ. It takes work and time to develop it. Much like a computer and a child it learns through repetition and through what it is exposed to. New code, new language, new frames of thinking, new ideas and concepts are what forms it into a varied and well functioning machine. It is capable of relating to one person’s pain and helping solve the problems of another, it is capable of appreciating sculpture, art, and music of any variety. Yet, we humans limit ourselves to our comfort zone. We are relegated to a limited environment when we don’t seek out eclecticism. This is the purpose of a few, and those few are the creators/creatives that fuel our appreciation for the humanities.
Tae Zu is one of those creatives. He was exposed to a variety of music early on in his formative years by his grandfather. Early musical experiences ranging from jazz and funk to blue and poetry. He also developed a strong affinity for hip hop music from the East Coast. The grittiness of the music of Slick Rick and Wu-Tang and the complex lyrical schemes gave Tae Zu an ear for music that he would develop into the person/rapper he is today. An emcee that practiced and tested himself through a variety of experience, he would join cyphers, and then move onto an interest in battle rap. He would develop and hone his craft with a record label out of El Paso, Texas and went on to where he is today.
As an artist Tae Zu the Desert Ghod is a practitioner of the sport, meaning he not only creates hip hop but actively records, writes, and works towards his musical goals. He has a recent release on his website only titled “Tel Off”. A gritty beat backdrop and lyrical mastery that is not common in the current musical landscape or era. His other two most recent projects are “Off’ and “Respratory” both available on all platforms and available to listen to below. Check out Tae Zu and follow him on his social media links below.
