Sk8er/filmmaker/spoken word artist 8.bliss is to hip hop what Jonathan Richman was to rock �n� roll. Naive notes from a North American kid in this post hip hop�hype and 911 thuggology mix up is what became the thesis of A Train of Events, Bliss�s first full-length album. On this, we hear �Full Moon Meeting�, a smooth, massive call-and-response. There�s also a tight tag-team flex between the artist and his dad, as well as �Poetic Shorts�, 8.bliss�s treatise on hip hop and spoken word, where the MC sounds off with a splendid evocation of Wagnerian poetics. Recently married and on a move to NYC, 8.bliss has plans for a follow-up to A Train of Events. But for now, we sit and speak with 8.bliss and absorb the basic subtext to his poetry, music, films � and probably his sk8in style.
