[11.26.12] Genius releases the album artwork for his debut EP, āVirtuoso,ā set to release 12.12.12. The artwork depicts Genius being shot, with a graphic version of Leonardo da Vinciās renowned Vitruvian Man masterpiece in place of his heart.
āThe Vitruvian Man represents the quintessential man,ā says Genius. āI wanted to create an abstract artwork that told a story, something almost mythological.ā
The Virtuoso Ā will be available on iTunes and Amazon December 12, 2012.

For a while Iāve been talking about experimenting with weave to see the difference in reception from men and society. Itās just my own social experiment.Ā Is fakery really the key to success?Ā Your degree, intelligence, and personality ā all the things that SHOULD matter simply donāt.Ā
I was talking to a friend one day and I made the comment, āIf I get weave Iām going to feel pressured to wear make-up and heels everyday.āĀ The jerk in my passenger seat chimed in, āDonāt be afraid to be a grown woman,ā in a semi-condescending tone.Ā Who in the hell does he think he is?Ā Furthermore, how do heels, weave, and make-up make me a āgrownā woman?Ā I was offended to the max. Ā I was listening to a man tell me Iām not good enough.Ā I should look like the girls on TV.Ā I should spend hundred of dollars on fake hair then a few more hundred for someone to install it just to look like the girl over there. Ā What if I was self-conscious?Ā Has he looked in the mirror lately?
A few days later, I tried a new hairdresser by the name of Alove at Salon Ramsey here in Atlanta. Ā She was very friendly and funny (apparently it runs in the bloodlineāsheās Faizon Loveās sister) and made me feel at ease. She recommended I try a weave, not because my real hair was lacking, but I donāt/canāt do hair and itās low maintenance.Ā It made a lot a sense unlike the jackass who said it would make me a grown woman.Ā I decided I would FINALLY go through with my little weave experiment and I already feel like a sell out.Ā All my sistas who fought the European ideal of what beauty is will shake their heads. I will leave the realm of authenticity to become one of them.Ā Even if itās temporary.Ā Maybe Iāve fallen under the pressures of a superficial city and industry.Ā However, Iām excited to try something new and see the reaction.Ā Alove will be installing my weave and I will update you guys!Ā If you need hair services, contact Alove.Ā Sheās pretty dope!Ā Tell her Ahshanti sent ya!
