Iras EP : The Story

Iras — Mon, 25 Jun 2012 04:00:00 +0000

Hey y'all,

Well, this project is suppose to be my last album. I did plan on telling stories during my career and at its end I wanted to tell mine.

However Mr Cue (with whom I’ve composed this EP) convinced me to start it now which I did and will keep on writing as significant events occur in my life hence the choice I made to put dates as song titles.
However this project, merely entitled “Iras”, is only an EP and will be completed over the years. I’m getting away from what I usually do which is telling the story of a character and see it unfolds over an entire album.

Anyway, I wanted to thank my dear friend Cue who gave me the idea for this EP and also my family as I’d be literally dead by now if it wasn’t for them, I love you all ! In the end I do hope you will enjoy the first steps of my autobiographical album...

Photoshoot In Toulouse

Iras — Mon, 28 May 2012 01:00:07 +0000

Hey y'all,

I did a photoshoot in the streets of my city with a friend of mine, Nicolas Fleuré, and I wanted to share it with you guys.
Basically it's divided in three parts which are : Abandoned Hospital, Under a Weeping Willow & Streets of Toulouse.

The Pilgrimage Of Samael Angel

Iras — Sat, 25 Jun 2011 05:00:00 +0000

Hey y'all,

If you are reading this it means that this 6 years project is over and was just released worldwide. All the sweat, the trips to the hospital, the friends I've lost, the people I've alienated, the time that I'll never get back, the death of my social life and all the other crappy things that I went through are about to be poured and transformed into this craft.

This project tells the story of Samael Angel which is divided into 3 chapters.
The entire trilogy is merely entitled : The Pilgrimage Of Samael Angel.

The first chapter "Samael Angel" was released on June 25th 2009.
The second chapter entitled "Samael's Sentience" was released on June 25th 2010.
The third chapter "The Credence Of Samael" was released on June 25th 2011.

It's hard to label the genre of this project since it is a very eclectic one. It's more of a melting pot between rap, slam, rock, r&b, classical & storytelling. But we could sum it up and label it African Rap and/or Storytelling Rap.

Before you start downloading the entire trilogy all at once, please read this thread in order for you to understand the project...

My Cosmos Is Mere Free So Spread It Like A Spree

Iras — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 07:07:29 +0000

Hey y'all,

As I've mentioned previously I'm about to kick off a worldwide web ad campaign.

The tagline for the latter is : "My Cosmos Is Mere Free So Spread It Like A Spree".

That line will be associated with some "Free Download" pictures or "Free Album Inside" pictures and so on...

Anyway I'm blogging about it because I need your help. Up until now I haven't really used my social network websites because I never found the time to sit down so as to handle it & also because I haven't hired yet a publicist to take care of that.

Well, those are about to change since Iras World is going to the next level. In any case, like I've said I need your help to spread the word so that my myspace, twitter and facebook pages turn around your friends.

Articles About Iras

Hey y'all,

As artists we all crave for attention in any way possible. Some of us say "I don't care what they say and/or think about me" however being an artist means that you automatically care.

We all do this because a part of us has a God complex and wants to be loved and adulated.

Needless to say, I don't escape that category. Nevertheless I do whatever I can in order to avoid "the game" entirely. Believe you me, it's a very difficult task trying to stay away from the limelights so that only your art gets the attention.

I sometimes even find myself to be jealous of my art (I know I need psychiatric help) !

In any case I've managed to compile in this thread all the articles I've participated in, ergo these are only those I'm aware of, which were written about me & ordered from the most recent to the older one...
