After 3 long years since its inception, and 8 years since his last solo album, ELZHI has delivered his newest LP, Lead Poision! Recently, Elzhi detailed to Noisey why the album was delayed for so long & the difficulty that came with putting it out:
“..I’ve been away for awhile, and one of the reasons why I’ve been gone is because I’ve been getting chased by this fucking black cloud that I can’t seem to shake. The cloud has been so crazy that it’s made me look at things in ways where, you know my perception is pretty much negative..”
“..It always comes around and drenches me in rain drops and that’s part of the reason why it took a long time for me to do what I had to do. I knew what I had to do was instead of being safe, I had to be real and I had to take all the stress and depression and all the things I considered to be negative inside of me and get it out the only way I knew how to get it out, through writing. ‘Cause I felt like when that stuff is inside of me and you consume it, and you conceal it, it can become poisonous and it can be poison into your heart, your mind, your body, your soul. So whatever it is, I’m just encouraging anybody, like if anyone has ever felt the way that I’ve just explained, I’m encouraging anybody to find like an outlet. Whatever it is, basketball, drawing, whatever. You get it out of you, but I got it out the only way that I knew how, through my writing..”
