NEW ALBUM RELEASE: Independent Emcee Steve Cook Drops His New Project "M.I.D. Twenties"

[Illustrating New Art]

Syracuse new York Emcee Steve Cooks is an interesting individual. Not only does the creative art of his music stand out, but so does his back story.  Starting off, Steve Cook recently graduated from Buffalo State College, which is honorable mention in itself. I personally can't stress enough to up and coming artists that this music thing, is a business, and any education you can obtain will further you both in life and business. So big ups to Steve Cooks for that accomplishment.

And on to the talented artists music. Steve Cook previously collaborated with Syracuse recording artist "CYPH" and released 2 projects titled "Heaven or Vegas" and "Ingestion." Both of these projects were nominated for Hip Hop Album of the Year at the annual Syracuse Area Music Awards as well as gained them the attention of local and global record labels including Universal Music Group. And rigorous discussions and meetings....Steve Cook felt it was his better interest to remain independent. Although he was very appreciative to be recognized, Steve felt what he had cooking, would give him more to offer and the opportunity at better advancements in his career.

Which brings us to the release of Steve Cook's solo project "M.I.D. Twenties.' Where most emcees work on the writing of their project for a few months, maybe a year...Steve took another route. He came at his musical art like a brilliant painter or screen writer, preferring to take his time in the creative process. And document his growth and understanding in a diary type process.

Between the ages of 23 and 28, Steve worked on this project. Taking the best of his work and compiling it into the catalog he released as his "M.I.D. Twenties" Project. 17 songs fill this project and there is so many different styles and topics of content covered. Steve Cook is an outstanding artist. His lyrical delivery is amazing. Each instrumental is lyrically attacked with precise rhythm. Steve Cook's educated background definitely shines through in his wordplay. It's almost as if this artist never runs out of words to say. What I enjoyed...was that even though this project was written over a 5 year span, there is no difference. It's like he didn't grow much, because he was already designed to be a great emcee. 

"M.I.D. Twenties is currently available on all major music streaming and distribution services including iTunes, Spotify, Amazon and Tidal. But as a gift to his dedicated supporters, he has also made "M.I.D. Twenties" available for free streaming via the popular Soundcloud App. Check Out "M.I.D. Twenties" today and be a part of Hip Hop history in the making!
