For my hundredth post I wanted to make it extra special and post up some music from someone I've met personally and she really touched my heart with how down to Earth she was and how inviting she was. She was very humble, very gifted and insanely talented. She goes by the name of Mystic and she came to my town a few years back and peformed a very intimate show with a handful of fans lucky enough to find out about the event...
The song "Fatherless Child" really hit home because eventhough I had a stepfather it wasn't the same as when I had the love of my real father and hearig someone else go through a similar situation it really made my heart wrench to know other people went through the same things in life I did...
According to Amazon.com:
Mystic was voted best album for 2001...
"Mystic is the one folks have been waiting for. The Bay Area singer/rapper exudes the kind of bona fide b-girl bravado that, underneath their macho posturing, very few male MCs can match. Not a holier-than-thou granola dreamer, Mystic is a rhyme rebel who assesses harsh realities unflinchingly, with nerve and tenderness at the same time. She's a skilled MC, as evidenced by the intricate wordplay and cadences that she showcases on hardcore cautionary tales such as "The Gottas." She's also a great singer, with a smoky alto that captures lovesickness on "You Say, I Say." Cuts for Luck and Scars for Freedom is low-key and lush, with production by Left Coast luminaries such as the Angel and A-Plus. This album is b-womanhood at its best."
