MOUNTAINWALKER PRESS:

“Mountainwalker is a poet and a prophet on the mic. His richly-layered lyrics will feed your mind. Don’t sleep: Mountainwalker is making sure that Nashville stays on the hip-hop map.”

- Adam Bradley, author of Book of Rhymes: The Poetics of Hip Hop and editor of The Anthology of Rap

"...an alternate universe where Allen Ginsberg and Del tha Funkee Homosapien may very well be best friends."

"genre-fusing outsider extraordinaire Mountainwalker continues to raise the bar with his unorthodox sound and approach."

- Itoro Udoko, from "Nashville Cream" of The Nashville Scene - Wednesday, January 29, 2014 and January 7, 2014

“A quick set change would bring what is, undeniably, one of our most eclectic acts to date to the Acme stage: Mountainwalker. Straddling the lines between hip hop, jazz, alternative, and jam music, Backed by an impressive live band, the emcee mostly handled bass duties throughout, and employed the use of horns, keyboards, and more to bring to life a retro-informed, lyrically profound flavor of hip hop. Mountainwalker’s delivery, poetic style, and powerful live chops made him one seriously compelling performer. A high point came when the group invited guests to the stage to cover A Tribe Called Quest, further reinforcing their hip hop legitimacy while invoking a delighted, danceworthy response.”

- LIVE REVIEW from NO COUNTRY FOR NEW NASHVILLE - October 1st, 2014

Filled with soulful, hypnotic live instrumentation laid upon a bedrock of classic boom-bap production, "American Rhapsody", is a distinctive narrative Hip Hop recording tracing the mythic image of the phoenix through modern American life. Woven between rapid-fire personal commentary and classic swagger, Mountainwalker creates an esoteric layer of images surrounded by vast open spaces and quiet interludes.
