Vibe with Paris Dillard. Also known as, Honasty Blade. Why the unique spelling?? It’s an acronym. Humble, Original and Nasty wit’ it. Honasty Blade. “Always On Point.”
Breeding grounds: Cleveland, Ohio. Raised by his grandparents, a unique ability was developed; an advanced rate of maturation. Influenced by the Smooth Jazz music his grandparents played while growing up in a pivotal time for Hip Hop music gave him the necessary elements to pioneer a new genre. Behold the birth of Smoov-Hop. With his water-like flow and glass shard, sharp delivery, Honasty Blade remains…Always on Point.
He is currently recording multiple studio projects. One of which appropriately titled: “Swords Sharpen Swords”.
So, how did we get to this point? Funny you should Axe..
Since the early age of 11, recording songs became a regular activity for the young swordsmith. Wanting to keep pace with both uncles and his brother not only invoked his excitement but also built character. A character like no other.
In numerology, the number 12 is of great significance. Both clocks and calendars can be seen as a reference to reflect this symbolism. Refer back to a 12 year old Honasty Blade witnessing his older brother pass away in a hospital bed due to medical complications. This tragedy motivated the young M.C. to take his craft to the next level. That he did. Soon after, he performed at various local venues, gaining experience, making connections and strengthening his stage performance. In addition, Honasty Blade is no stranger to the battle culture. Competing in Cleveland, Ohio’s “Spitboxers” and Randall Mall’s “Ground Zero” battle tournaments, both outlets served as the perfect catalyst to give Honasty’s Blade the necessary sharpening. An east coast influence of lyricism blended with a Midwest melodic swing gives Honasty Blade an unmistakable signature sound. The Smoov Hop sound is illustrated by his melodic, catchy choruses and charismatically crafted rhymes. Listeners who also crave substance will surely be satisfied.
