Phenzwaan is undisputedly one of the most prominent names in spoken word and poetry. For thenumerous award winner, Phenzwaan's latest feat, Solidified, is simply another notch in the belt of a man who is defying all traditional notions in the world of poetry & spoken word. When asked to describe his new release in one sentence or less the lyrical connoisseur candidly says "a consolidation of my relationship with the world as an artist." Hence, the thinking behind the title Solidified, Phenzwaan's ninth effort in a series of undeniably groundbreaking CD's. Solidified, a fusion of compelling spoken word, is an all-inspiring collection of music and verbal dexterity guaranteed to feed the mind and energise the soul.

"Making a CD that could creatively, lyrically and musically stand up and represent against all eight of my previous releases put together as well as showcase my versatility and the entirety of my growth as an artist was a challenge for me," says Phenzwaan of this closing effort which cleverly and successfully documents just how far he has come. A fusion of dynamic and diverse deliveries, inventive instrumental adaptation, and creatively constructed collaborations, as opposed to mere poems, the London native continues toexcel the parameters and from this album it isirrefutablethat hehas solidified himself as anartist capable of mapping outhis owntrademark uncharted territory.[/align]
