Jammerzine has an exclusive interview with Bishop The Overseer (Seth Usifo Nwosu®) as well as the premiere of his new album ‘Nation Of Immigrants, releasing today. Bishop is way more than an acronym (B.I.S.H.O.P., stands for ‘Best Individual Style Only Happens Through Potential’), he is what most of us should strive to become and many of us secretly behold. He is the culmination of what many of us fear to be and reside where most of us fear to tread. Someone who can talk with you about anything and leave you a little smarter than you were before. Steeped in history and a set of visions he shares with and through his music.
In this interview, we talk with Bishop about those visions and his music, in what I consider an incredibly insightful conversation more than an interview. We delve into many subjects that more of us should converse about and only showcases his music and mindset even more.
About ‘Nation Of Immigrants’
‘Nation Of Immigrants’ is an album that, while in your face, knows that is the quickest route to your mind. Musically, this is second to none. Filled with everything from jazz to hip hop to RnB and soul, this genre bender knows that the goal is your soul by consistently saying the quiet part out loud for all to hear and, hopefully, some to listen. Featuring family, friends and musical compatriots, ‘Nation Of Immigrants’ is social commentary set to soundtrack penned by a poet and recorded by a true artist. Listen, learn, love, repeat.
