Superstar STIX releases another critically acclaimed mix tape titled
Online, October 11, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The New Mix tape by STIX "Better Late than Never" hits the net with the hit street smashes "Champagne", "After This Drink", "Reservation", & "Light Up Freestyle."
Creating double entendres that leave the listener in awe, has become a trade mark of Stix and his hit songs on his mix tapes and albums such as "Late for Sound Check" "The Election" and "Better Late Than Never."
The art of storytelling, a format of songs outlining a sequence of events, and a drama free mix tape without the cops, robbers, strippers and drug kingpins is nothing new to STIX's creative process. After re-completing song after song to get the perfect mix of songs that can hold up to what the controversial art work stands for, has been a task for Stix with making "Better Late than Ever." Champagne is a good example of lyrics and parting mixed together with a hook from big poppa aka Biggie Smalls. Reservation tells a story of a crew doing it big amongst themselves like bosses should. He explains the lifestyle with his trademark double and triple entendres such as "I make 50-M No I'm not Dre!" The song Rotten is just one of those songs that is a beat knocking joint that has a catchy chorus that you can close your eyes and see the crowd singing it! Underneath the story is a concept.
The mixtape "Better Late than Never" is a metaphor for what Hip-Hop is to Stix. It is a tribute to the artists who have had the greatest impact on his definition of the art form. The key to understanding the concept of "Better Late than Never" can only be explained by Stix "My mix tape cover has deep symbolism behind the artwork. By no means am I trying to say that I am Jesus the prophet. The artwork means that this is my second coming to the music scene. The thorn crown piercing my head with blood running down is symbolic for the pain I have suffered with the business side of the music industry and the constant betrayal and disloyal activity. The glasses on my face represent knowledge and wisdom and the do's and don'ts I have accumulated going through my trials and tribulation. The title "Better Late than Never" I relate it to my entry in the music game on a mainstream level. I may be late entering the music industry professionally but at least I got to enter the game. I might have entered later than I wanted to, but at least I'm here.
