The Stoic: Behold... A Starving Artist is a collection of songs that expresses the artist's style of music through lyrical streams of consciousness in combination with live musical instrumentation. This combination of musical artistry invites the listeners to explore the hidden worlds of The Stoic's introspection of spoken word that is illustrated through the genre of alternative hip hop music.  


This fusion is accomplished through live instrumentation of electric/acoustic guitar, electric bass, keyboards, and string arrangements. The Stoic's combination of organic musical instrumentation, lyricism, and song writing structure personifies the delicate intricacies of stoicism that are nuanced within the interpersonal display of musical harmony articulated through the canvas of life we call... "The Human Experience".  


The 1st song from the LP, "Cloak-N-Dagger" discusses the "trial and error" of human life when a person is blinded by their ambition (Cloak) but will suffer the penalty that awaits (Dagger) through a stream of consciousness, accompanied by an electric guitar solo that seals the victim's fate.  


The 2nd song on the LP is "Essence of Truth". Essence of Truth discusses the 4 main ways how truth is revealed in a person's life: Anger, Confessions, Laughter, and Surveillance. The track is created through electric bass, rhythm guitar, and changing keyboard chords.

The 4th song on the LP is called: "Silent Rain" Silent Rain discusses the inner turmoil that a person faces through their walk of life. The music is created by live electric bass and electric guitar, with electric keyboard. Normally, people are unaware that they are hurting due to them suffering in silence: "Silent Rain, the pain that every man fears; Silent Rain, that quiet storm only one man hears..."  


The 5th song from the LP is called: "Flame (Ferocious Entity Roars Endless)" is a fusion of the artist with live instrumentation. This sacred union illustrates the quiet thoughts of the musician as well as the hidden voice of the artist who appreciates being in the presence of live bass guitar grooves accompanied by electric guitar rhythms that echos their personification of internal challenges of the human spirit that refuses to be extinguished - Flame (Ferocious Entity Roars Endless).
