A far too common trend in popular music today is shock value without virtue. Asstereotypes are fortified via Rrated celebrity personas and superfast lyrics, desensitized audiencesbecome less reactive and allow more content to go unchecked. Audiences are inoculated with ideasand attitudes from invalid sources that pose and front with extravagant flair and misleading
credentials. Celebrities harbor great power and privilege using these alter-egos, but it is not always
done responsibly.
Princess Biznotch is a creative MC/persona with positive shock value and lyrical content.
Songs are proponents of various causes and moral concerns; anti-crime, anti-violence, pro-social,
pro-“clean, wholesome fun”, environmentalism and maintaining a healthy body and self-image. The
objectives are to redefine the audience’s conception of rap and promote better use of power and
speech by using a non-traditional voice and perspective.
Princess Biznotch is a product of white suburban dissentience and dissociation. With Girl
Scout virtues, Frederick Nietzsche’s insight and Machiavellian policy, wisdom and smarts promote
more than rap itself. As a persuader, lyrics are carefully deliberated with great consideration for
audiences in need. Every song is clean-cut in lexicon because each line balances truth and creativity,
leaving no room for stagnant ambiguity.
Conscious lyricism with whimsical, clever, and profound content inspires Princess Biznotch.
Influenced by underground styles and philosophies, each and every track attempts to emulate
multiple elements of hip-hop without abandoning her own style and flavor. Whence inspired to
write rhymes, it is often ignited either by underground rappers’ lyrical content or by their equally
funky and original instrumentals. Aurally pleasing melodies as well as smooth verbal deliveries are
primary objectives for all Princess Biznotch material.
The target audience for Princess Biznotch and her agenda are English-speaking teens and
adolescents who are fans of rap music which is not mainstream, those who appreciate alternative
perspectives and philosophies, and those who recognize hip-hop as a form of expression even in a
non-traditional sense. Some songs are geared for individuals or smaller segmented audiences, but a
majority of the fanbase is built from audiences not necessarily part of such segments.
The channels Princess Biznotch uses for transmission are face to face interactions, audio
recordings, digital/graphical depictions, and written forms of lyrical expression. Most content is
diffused via the internet and social media sites because it provides the means for storage and
transmission. With social media sites like YouTube and Soundcloud that allow for reaching
audiences direct, endless space for information on storage sites such as Blogger and Facebook
ensure Princess Biznotch will be an eternal yet elusive source for complex messaging, original
interpretations of information and also a resource for source-coded accounts of reality.
Thus Spake Princess Biznotch is an album which will be released in May 2014. Thirteen
tracks comprise an algorithmic schematic symbolizing Princess Biznotch as a character, a human,
and an instrument of communication. Designed to provoke thought, contradict popular beliefs, and
promote free-thinking, the aural journey “Thus Spake Princess Biznotch” provides includes second
order covert priming, pro-social operant conditioning mechanisms, and call-to-action propositioning
using psychological methodology and time-tested cues. As a narrative, the album parallels the saga of
Frederick Nietzsche’s Zarathustra as he endured isolation and discovered wisdom from within
whence recognizing he was a godless will of self, ego, and virtue.
The face of Princess Biznotch, i.e. logo and icon, is represented by a cartoon graphic image
of a three-headed panda, spewing rainbows in all directions whilst suspended in space; a blue sunny
sky with puffy clouds provide the back drop for what seems like a playful product of a child’s
imagination. However, the elements of such an avatar symbolize more than could ever be expressed
in lyrical form. The album cover design shows how in one direction, hearts are being projected into
space, musical notes in another, and third, a collection of cassette tapes eject from the beast.
The tapes which are being released so colorfully into space are labeled using Princess
Biznotch’s deep-seated guidelines for being a great MC (Master of Ceremony) and effective speaker.
These have been recognized and respected since even before the music project came to be.
Extracted from Machiavellian philosophy, the three characteristics that which each and every track
strives to balance between are that it is what I wish to say, what people want to hear, and also what
people ought to hear. Somewhere inside such a triangle of idealism most certainly lies the Truth of
the matter, whatever it may be. However, as a strong proponent of personal sacrifice as a royal
responsibility and privilege, Princess Biznotch is fast approaching noble status as personal needs and
agenda are masked and lightly woven between a far more significant and rewarding blend of
material.
