Heath McNease - A Lesson Before Dying

 
1
Copied!
I heard jesus
Walking through my house
It was too dark to see his face
But i heard him
As clear as day
Say, "i'm ashamed
That you live this way"

Tears on my face
Shivers up my neck
Chills up my back
And covered in sweat

I said i am not a fool
I am not a fool
I know i hear you
But i just can't see you
I never could see you

I said i am not a fool
I am not a fool
I know i hear you
But if i don't see you
Did i make you up in my head?

Oh, oh, oh oh oh

I said i don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But i hear death coming
And i'm tired of running
So tired of running

I said i don't wanna die
I don't wanna die
But if i can't see you
Said if i don't see you
When i close my eyes
Wake me up

Biography

Heath McNease is an indie rapper slash alternative folk artist slash Twitter comedian from South Georgia (or Jawjah, as he would say). He’s arguably the most hard-working upcoming artist, having released 15+ projects over the last 5 years (by comparison, most artists release an album every year or so)

Associated artists:
Playdough, Redcloud, Propaganda, JGivens,Pigeon John, Greg Lafollete, ManChild, Jetty Rae, Isaac Knox, HeirJordan.

Associated Acts:
- Free Daps
- Pen Pals
- Whose Rhyme is it Anyway (defunct)

Genres:
- Singer-Songwriter, Folk, Parody, Hip-hop (southern, classic, nerdcore)

For fans of:
- The Swell Season
- The Avett Brothers
- The Civil Wars
- The Weepies
- Simon & Garfunkel

Growing up, his musical influences included folk artists like Simon & Garfunkel, The Beatles, and The Carpenters.

However, thanks to his older brothers, Heath’s also a hip-hop nerd, particularly fond of gangsta and Southern rappers like Outkast and Warren G, “f-bombs and all”.

He attended Valdosta State University and graduated in 2006 with a degree in musical theater.

Though faith heavily influences his music, Heath wouldn’t necessarily classify himself as a “Christian” artist. He’s no squeaky-clean, Chris Tomlin, Contemporary Christian Music musician. He exposes his doubts and fears about faith honestly.

From serious to trivial, Heath is a melange of musical styles and content:

For honest, heartfelt biographical and spiritual content set to mellow folk, check out one of his newer releases, Who Knows? Who Cares?.

For an example of hilarious, multi-syllabic pop culture references layered over your favorite catchy hip-hop beats, check out his newest singles, Rapper and Bicentennial Man (Michigan).
