BOOK II: NEGRO NOMAD

On this album, I step outside of myself to explore the environment and culture that's around me, and use my voice as a reflection for folks of the Diaspora (i.e. Negros) and offer new and positive ways to view the world Read more
On this album, I step outside of myself to explore the environment and culture that's around me, and use my voice as a reflection for folks of the Diaspora (i.e. Negros) and offer new and positive ways to view the world while transforming it. I explore spirituality, traveling, culture, black plight, and systematic neglect through the lens of an autistic, Middle-American black man.

Where my previous album "book I: spacing out music 101" was more about my exploring and peeling back the layers of my internal world, "BOOK II: NEGRO NOMAD" is about my external world.

book I: spacing out music 101

Shyheim Nwadiei

I named this album after the type of music that I felt I made up to this point. Spacing out music is about wandering and reflection, and remaining in your own world. On this album, I explore autism, love, spirituality, temptation, and toxic cycles within the comforts of my own mind.

shy ● HEIM: Nwadiei's Trickle-Down Theory

Shyheim Nwadiei

This album separetes my "shy" nature with my more dominant, God-centered nature known as "HEIM", stemming from "Elohim". This is a personal album that delves into trauma, isolation, spirituality, and negative influences. This is an album about transformation that balances the light and darkness needed for evolution

searching

Shyheim Nwadiei

This song is about the search for meaning beyond distractions and illusion. He uses the stories of his past to reflect on his purpose for being and seeks to evolve past the superficial.

Murphy

Shyheim Nwadiei

Named after the main character Shaun Murphy in "The Good Doctor", I use him as a symbol to delve deeper into my autism, and give people a view of the inner workings of a black, autistic brain. Rather than run away from it like I've done with songs prior to this, I face it head on and morph it into a superpower.

EVERYBODY RAP GOOD (feat. Victor Collins)

Shyheim Nwadiei

A modern day old to hip hop addressing it's decline and urging the people to fully return to hip hop's essence. This establishes the assertive yet reflection voice of Shyheim the NEGRO NOMAD and places him as an insurmountable force within the hip hop landscape.

Wrote this joint about having to disconnect from yourself to follow the unnatural cycles of this world.

Inspired by Psalms 1:2 which says,
" But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.'
I took this scripture and reversed the "day and night" to come up with the title "night n' day" to show that cycles such as working 9-5s has kept us from our more natural frequencies.
