Artist Description: Within the depths of Atlanta, the freestyle hotbed of the South, Ishues has crossed paths with countless soldiers. Though his opponents arm themselves heavily with verbal skill and wit, each finds himself standing amidst the dust trails of Ishues’ signature delivery and journalistic poetry, muted only by ear-deafening reception. Ishues’ impressive resume unveils a slew of championship title wins. He is the three-time champion of the prolific MC Warz, and the current MC Warz Heavyweight Freestyle Southern Underground Champion. He holds three Mic Aggression titles as well as the Lyrical Warfare title. And all that is besides the countless street battles in New York, New Jersey and in the South. Ishues is a magnet for challenges; every show ends not only with the resounding applause from appreciative fans, but also with numerous approaches by MC’s, unable to suppress their urge to cipher with the lyrical master. Ishues’ no-holds-barred approach to narration lends itself to documenting the day-to-day combats of the social underdog. He rushes out of the gates with skillfully woven stories, precise and rife with description. Set for release on February 3, 2004, Ishues’ debut album, Reality Flow, is eighteen unadulterated hip-hop tracks partitioned into four segments. Each segment holds a distinctive theme, though by no means are the segments isolated from each other. Together they meld into an annals of Ishues' life. Through the first half of the album, Ishues touches on the obstacles and hard times he's had in his past. As the album progresses, he turns the microscope on himself and finds himself learning from his past mistakes, culminating in personal revelations not typically discussed in the hip-hop realm. The album serves as a diary, opening a window into the mind of a true MC. Ishues’ adeptness at language manipulation and meticulous word-phrasing provides a vivid canvas for storytelling.
