Tara Ellis “Big Poppa” Music Video

December 14th, 2008 | 2 Comments | Posted in Arts, Music, Video

Tara Ellis, a high voltage singer will release her new EP, Live & Die In LA, produced by Benny Cassette,(Crimson World) on Tuesday, December 16, 2008. Ellis has been setting a new standard for the Los Angeles music scene for the last year,  and her album Live & Die In LA has emerged as a tribute to some of the greatest hip-hop artists of this generation.

“One day I’m sitting in my living room and Biggie Smalls video comes on Big Poppa. I remember saying out loud “I miss this guy, and I miss when lyric writing was an art. What’s happened to the life that words use to have?” So I began some research on some of my favorite old school Hip-Hop songs and read through the lyrics. Inspired through melody, I sat down with my guitar and wrote my own version of these songs. This is my way of reminding the world of how great some of these artists are, and on the flip side how much the art has gone down hill, backwards and completely out of touch. You decide which one is which.” ­ – Tara Ellis
