Tranzmittin' Lyve is a lyrical and musical journey of grand proportions. Sixteen tracks featuring the uncompromising voice and words of Cincinnati spoken-word artist N.R.G. da NuRa Goddezz (Amber Miles) set a against a diverse backdrop of original compositions from producer Gianni Di (Jonathan Salisbury).
With music ranging from dub, to jazz, blues, hip-hop and Afro-beat, the album is both a snap-shot in time and a lyrical journey through hope, anger, loss and love. N.R.G. pulls no punches and draws vibrant pictures of her very human experience. It is a richly-textured piece that'll draw you in deep and take you on a dramatic ride through the darkest moments to the essence of joy.
Evoking such seminal works as Linton-Kwezi Johnston's Bass Culture, Spearheads Stay Human and Lauryn Hill's Mis-Education, this is a remarkable feat of collaboration.
