WASHINGTON, DC - Brave Soul Collective (BSC), SWERV Magazine (co-sponsor) & The Front Porch present the Pre-Inauguration Official CD Release Party for Tim'm T. West's "In Security: The Golden Error". This represents artist, lyricist and Queer Hip Hop Icon Tim'm T. West's 3rd solo project following critically acclaimed projects "Songs from Red Dirt" the more recent "Blakkboy Blue(s)". The album, not unlike the first two, is an autobiographical lens through Tim'm's life as a black man, a black gay man, and a Hip Hop head. It examines finding security in ones insecurities and celebrating them. With original production by a strong cast of both straight and LGBT emcees/vocalists and producers, Tim'm has began to see a broadening of his fan base without making compromises in content. With vocal collaborations with Last Offence, Bryn't, William Scott, Maia Papaya, Tru, Deadlee, Mid*One, Tim Dillinger, TwiZza, The Qure, and Sarafina as well as production by Dirty Bird (CA), Eddy J. Free (Cincinnati), DJ Sirrah (Cincinnati), Tru (Atlanta), and Lil Biggie (ATL) the album is Tim'm's most polished and upbeat project to date. Says Tim'm: "I'm known for being that deep bohemian who is too old school and conscious to have fun with music. With this project, I saw an opportunity to remember the joy I found in Hip Hop during its Golden Era... Hip Hop was great party music AND had a lot of meaningful content. After all, what if you began to see your errors and insecurities as golden, as opportunities to grow and change." Included in this celebration of great music will be a special performance by invited artist Wiliam Scott and poetry by KaNikki J. The event will be hosted by Def Poetry Jam's ButtaFlySoul.
