THE ARTIST
Adam Carter of Beloit, Wisconsin, recording under the expanded pseudonym Noir aka Nocturne is one of the more enlightened contemporary rappers, proffering a heady mix of verbiage and syncopated hip-hop rhythms. He made his first mixtape in early 2013 with It's Comin' Alive, a series of producers such as 9th Wonder, 14 KT, Apollo Brown, and Tantu on consumer identity with the occasional lapse into X-rated anatomical detail to make it a hit with the hardcore hip-hop audience. Conversely, the best song was "A Love Letter" and "Stairway", a laid-back statement of identity and individuality. By the growing up and moving constantly, Noir's life experience is fueled by his passion for writing and provided the rapper with a license to indulge his self-evident love of vocabulary and syntax. "Working on bringing a unique style to hip-hop. I have respect for anybody that keep's it real. I believe everyone is good in their own way and when you think about it as an art rather than competition, you'll see that everyone has their own style. Some people are going to feel you and some won't, but as long as you feel it is all that matters." |
