::Headphone Junkie:: Hezekiah Previews New Album Dreams Don't Chase Themselves
by Daniel Harris

It has been nearly four years since the release of hip hop artist Hezekiah's last album Conscious Porn and fans have been patiently waiting for his next release. This past Thursday, Hezekiah provided his fans with a preview of his much anticipated new album along with a great opportunity for fans to select the first single from the album.

Dreams Don't Chase Themselves was written and produced Hezekiah, a first for the Philly MC. Another first for him, there are no other MCs featured on the album. During the album preview, held on TwitCasting, he said that many of his critics believe that he is incapable of standing on his own on an album and how he hopes this album will end that debate.

Even with his success, Hezekiah still holds true to his soulful, raw sound. Tracks like "Once You Pick It Up" and "Hologram Dreams" hold true to the sound and the style most fans are familiar with. "The album title is what I'm going through right now" Hezekiah noted during the session. He continued to say, "People think things come easy. They don't come easy, they come from hard work and dedication."

When asked what he's learned in the time since his last release, Hezekiah said, "There's a difference in labels now and labels from back in the day...it's all digital now and they can sign anything with no investment and just upload it to iTunes." In this digital age of the music business, real talent tends to get lost in the shuffle of ringtone and club singles. After participating in last night's preview and hearing the hard work and dedication that went into creating this album, we are pretty confident that Dreams Don't Chase Themselves will be a step in the right direction to reclaim real music.

Hezekiah hopes to release Dreams Don't Chase Themselves some time this Spring. Also be on the look out for the first single and video of the crowd favorite "Hologram Dreams."
