THE VISION
|
Through his creation, Steve strives to cause awareness in the Hip Hop community, and breaks the stereo types within the Hip Hop Genre. One of those stereo types the MC is determined to break is the idea that Hip Hop is a Young man's game, and once an unsigned inspiring Hip Hip artist hits a certain age, then his or her pursuit of this profession is over. This is far from the truth, and is the motivation behind Steve Penn's new album titled "40 VoL 1" produced by BilBlastPro. Like fine wine he gets better with time, never concerned about competition, he's one of a kind. While there's quite of few of Steve's releases on multiple digital platforms, "40 Vol 1" along with future releases will only be distributed from this platform.
