D-Catalyst EP Gift Rapped

Share:FacebookXWhatsAppEmail

""On Sunday 9 November 2014 I had the wonderful honour of being the very first person other than the artist and the producer to listen to the whole completed and fully mastered D-CATALYST EP by Bix-C before it went for printing and packaging.
…and It is Freakin Awesome!!!

The 10 Hip Hop tracks on the EP being mostly in Afrikaans with sprinklings of English, the lyrical acrobatics and technical abilities of this MC will make anyone who thinks that Afrikaans rap can’t compete with Americanised English on a technical level think twice and they will probably end up going “Damn!” while pressing the rewind button.

For those who have already been initiated and have heard his still highly acclaimed three year old previous offering “The Bix-C Theory EP”, D-Catalyst will definitely come across as either just as good with a twist in a new direction or as I suspect, it will be hailed by most as way better.
This in my opinion could have been released and sold as the long-awaited debut album, yet Bix-C says he is still a long way from there and he goes on to say that if one listens carefully to D-Catalyst you will understand why this could never be The Album and he especially wants other Hip Hop artists to understand his reasoning.

Over the past two years or more I have been privileged to witness some aspects of this man’s writing process and he would sometimes let me in on the progress he as making with creating tracks and laying down vocals.
I’ve seen how Bix-C has literally been sweating blood for this project and all for the purpose of giving something for FREE as a gift of love to the Hip Hop community.
I certainly don’t go around advocating that artists should be giving away music for free and this is way better than what some some artists would pass off as a fully priced album but Bix-C has some very unique reasons for doing this.

""Due to be available in about two weeks from now at around 25 November, D-Catalyst EP will be distributed as a limited edition high quality audio CD or as an mp3 album download and what is more important than the fact that Bix-C is giving it away for FREE is the statement he is making by doing this.
You will actually have to listen for yourself to figure out what that statement. I’ve already made up my mind that my favourite two tracks are “Bix-C Magic” and “Wiet jy wie ek is?”

Now if you are skeptical about music that is being given for Free Mahala Gratis Verniet and yes sometimes we do get subjected to utter mediocrity that gets passed off as Hip Hip but if you are that skeptic, I can promise you that you are actually going to want to pay him for your copy of D-Catalyst EP.
Keep your eyes on Bruinou.com for more details about when Bix-C will be hitting the stage again, for the release of his upcoming music video, for details about his future projects and of course how you can get your copy of D-Catalyst.

The details of how you can get your copy of D-Catalyst EP will be available on the Bix-C Edu-Tainment Website from the first week in December 2014 but in the meantime here is a slightly old but brilliant freestyle video of Bix-C and a drummer doing a sound-check at the CTICC.

You can now also download D-Catalyst EP Direct from Rymklets Republiek and just make sure to log on to the BIX C site to thank the brother.
