Deemed often by the media as the “prince of noize,” Bronx-born musician YUZIMA<\/a> just released his latest single titled\u00a0Atheist<\/em>\u00a0from his soon-to-drop\u00a0insta-album where he explores American\u00a0obsession with religion and belief systems.<\/p>\n

He describes himself as a “quasi-atheist-agnostic” and in this single “respectfully asks\u00a0why certain artists, particularly of color, feel the need to include God in their work to be relevant?” \u00a0He explains, “my\u00a0lyrics are inspired by the likes of Patti Smith, Kanye West, and Bob Dylan and I\u00a0switch between the voice of the believer and the non-believer, [eventually] leading to an ecstatic wail at the bridge of the song. Twisting lyrics go from the spiritual to the sexual – even positioning the act of ejaculation as a godly act.”<\/p>\n
