Oklahoma City - When rapper Eminem made his 1999 debut with the ground breaking hit "My Name Is"
from his "The Slim Shady LP" project, he turned the music scene upside
down and positioned himself as the "Rap God" he is today. Fifteen years
later, female rapper Amber Glass is vying for the "Rap Goddess" throne. Spitting fierce lyrical fury with feminine flow, the new artist, from Power Moves Media,
pays tribute to the rap legend with a bold, unapologetic remake of his
"My Name Is" single via a vibrantly viscious video release. With a
brilliant display of in-your-face imagery, twisted flavor and seductive
finesse, the video and the song mimic the original track but with a wild
woman twist !
An Oklahoma native, Amber Glass is the discovery of Power Moves Media CEO Nitro (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bN4CzjNWVOg#t=70
). A potent mix of sass, sex and sizzle, Glass spews unrepentant verses
that roll raw and punch with dominion. Take female rapper Iggy Azalea, add steroids, and Amber Glass emerges !
Influenced by Eminem, Tupac and Nas,
Amber started rapping at the age of 17. Working her way around the
local hip hop scene in Oklohoma City, Power Moves Media artist Young Star initially took note of her skills and convinced Nitro to sign her.
"Amber
Glass is indicative of what Power Moves Media is all about. She
shatters your perceptions of her when she opens her mouth to rhyme. Her
verses knock out the competition. She is spearheading our roster of
releases, paving the path for the power moves we have planned," notes
Nitro.
"My Name Is" was shot in Phoenix, Arizona and directed by Carlos Berber. The
video is a scene by scene reenactment of the original "My Name Is"
video, with Amber swapping out Eminem's moniker for her own and tweaking
the lyrics with her own risqué rants. "My Name Is" pops with the same
zany antics as the original release but resonates with 2014 sensibility.
"For
me as a white girl, Eminem was a powerful reflection growing up. He
showed me what I had the potential to do. He kicked down walls and
built up new ones. I'm not trying to be a female Eminem though, I just
wanted to pay homage to him for making a way for artists like me. If is
sees "My Name Is," project I hope it makes him proud because he was a
great inspiration to me."
