Hip-Hop
history was made at Payroll Studios in High Point, NC on Wednesday, February
11th, when Eric Graham, and the legendary Supreme DJ NyBorn, finished recording
the final songs on his up-and-coming album, Pocket Full of Ghetto Poems, which many consider to be a Hip-Hop
classic.
With
anticipation of something great happening, this historical studio session was
filmed by Terrence Graham, of 5 Foot Productions, in preparation for a future
documentary, which intends to highlight the recording and writing process, as well as the potential rise to
Hip-Hop stardom, of the self-proclaimed Black poetry writer, turned MC, from
Magnolia.
Amazingly, with every song made, the North Carolina-born Hip-Hop fiend displays his versatility, story-telling ability and overall lyrical prowess.

Matter
of fact, during his last studio session, he revealed some new material, which
included the following songs:- My Last Black Love Letter
- Bulletproof
- Money and The Power
- CIAA
- Too Many MC’s
“At
this point, I am really surprised at the type of support I am receiving from
Facebook as well as from people in the community, who have heard some of the
songs that I have shared over the Internet so far. Especially, when one considers that I am an unknown so-called artist "said Graham, who is a
graduate of Winston-Salem State University, where he received a B.A. in Mass
Communications, with a concentration of Radio & Television and a minor in
History, with an emphasis in African-American Studies.
“But,
honestly, this whole process has really been a humbling experience, especially from an art standpoint,
when you allow other people to critique your work.”
As
Graham, who some know by the name Steel Magnolia, continues to shock people
with his ability to rap.
It’s,
however, his level of creativity with his image-driven videos that have really
impressed so many people.
“Plus,
everyone knows a picture is worth a thousand words. So, this helps, give
seemingly, meaningless,- music- meaning.”
With
that said, Graham is definitely painting a beautiful picture worth seeing or in
his case, to be heard, especially by those willing to listen.
“They are many layers in this mixtape-slash-album,” stated the Magnolia native.

“If
those, who purchase it, when it is made available, really listen to the content
within it, they will find out, it is really is a masterpiece.”
“Especially,
after see-ing the visual videos made along the way.”
