Absoloot is a talented artist with the knowledge of a seasoned counselor, the intuition of a psychology professor and the talent of an expertly seasoned lyricist. Get ready for another ground breaking production from the highly anticipated album entitled Banksters.
The video ‘Watch Your Words’, Produced by SE Entertainment, provides a visually stunning interpretation of Absolut’s lyrical brilliance.’ Watch your words’ is a song about the words people use and their insensitivity “…better be careful who you serve,” “they watching so watch your words…” a rapper that focuses his rhymes on being consistent is vital in getting your story across.
Absoloot is one artist that has a particular method to his rap. He has the rare skill of keeping on topic in his tracks, unlike other rappers who have one topic and several storylines heading to confusion and not really getting to the point of their story. Considered ‘one of the ‘illest lyricist’, and a perfect example of his skill is in his latest release called ‘Watch Your Words’. He really put his heart into this one.
The track gives example of the different types of conversation that people have that could get them in trouble if they’re not selective with the words that they use. From business executives to your own household; there is a message that needs to be heard within the lyrical content of this track which reads more like a psycology lesson than a motto. A meaningful lesson on conduct and behavior, one that everyone should consider.
The track has a cool 9O’s vibe to it. The graphics on the video are exceptionally spectacular and original and are just as consistent as the lyrical content. If you serving your words just be careful who you serve you never know who you’re speaking too so watch what you say. There is a piano cover throughout the entire track the percussions are study just as the lyrical flow. Although the track is a couple of years old, it has the makings of what is needed to be heard today.
Overall, the track is extremely fascinating and consistent. The wordplay is on point, It has spectacular quality and a truly meaningful message. The performance on the video is magnificent and the content is appropriate, it fits with the song. Watch out for more good music from Absoloot. He is one hell of a rapper, producer and an artist with motivation and a philosophy that is admirable.

Exposed Vocals: How did you hear about Exposed Vocals? What made you decide to sign up?
Absoloot: I heard about Exposed Vocals on Twitter. I’m always on there and ended up coming across their profile and felt like their site would be awesome for exposure.
Exposed Vocals: So tell us your story. Where did you grow up? What made you decide to become an artist?
Absoloot: I grow up in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida. I actually started writing music in the 10th grade, but didn’t decide to pursue music as a career until I felt like I was good enough to perform live.
Exposed Vocals: What was your inspiration behind your name?
Absoloot: I find inspiration from those around me. I feel like music should be used as a tool to connect people of all walks of life and that’s what I try to do with my music.
Exposed Vocals: What do you think about online music sharing? Do you ever give your music away for free? Why?

Exposed Vocals: Since everyone was a start-up once, can you give any smaller or local bands or artists looking to get gigs and airplay some tips?
Absoloot: Yes most definitely. I find that a lot of artist don’t spend a lot of timing researching companies and radio stations online. The music industry has changed drastically and because of this a lot of the power is now in the hands of the artist. I would suggest trying to find internet based radio stations and magazines to submit your music to so that you can gain the exposure of potential fans all over the world.
Exposed Vocals: Do you ever make mistakes during performances? How do you handle that?
Absoloot: Not so much now as I did in the beginning. I try and rehearse as much as possible to try and prevent any mistakes. The last time I did make a mistake though I pretty much continue the show as normal.(Laughs)

Exposed Vocals: If you were given half a million dollars and a year off, what would you do? How would you spend it?

Exposed Vocals: If you could perform anywhere and with any artists (Dead or Alive) where and who would it be with? Why?
Absoloot: I would have to say Stevie Wonder and it really wouldn’t matter where we perform. I’m sure I would be in shock and awe the whole time. (Laughs)
