Tiye Phoenix mini art print

$9.00

One 4″ x 6″ mini print of a portrait illustration that I did of emcee, producer, & singer Tiye Phoenix. See original here.

This is a LIMITED QUANTITY print, with only 4 to purchase right here. There are other opportunities to get one of these: by chance (ordering a “mystery print” where I randomly handpick one to send) or through a giveaway on my Instagram at a later date. That said, if you absolutely want one*, order quickly! First come, first serve.

* These are sold individually, meaning you can only buy one of Tiye Phoenix. This way, other people have an opportunity to get their hands on one, too.

Details:

The sizing is that of a postcard: 4″ x 6″
Print is matte. The front (with the art) has a smooth, soft-feel coating. The back is a lime green color, and says “WOMXN IN HIP HOP BY TIFFANY BURRISS” in black lettering, on the bottom left corner. You are able to write on the back.
Each print comes numbered (on the back) and signed.
Colors are bold and vibrant, but may appear different on your screen than in real life.

Introduction that I wrote about Tiye Phoenix in 2019: Tiye Phoenix is an emcee, producer, & singer originally from Baltimore, Maryland. My intro to @tiyephoenix happened when the Polyrhythm Addicts song for “Reachin'” came out, sometime in 2007, & then their Breakin’ Glass album was in heavy rotation. A couple years following that, she dropped her debut album, titled Half Woman/Half Amazin’ (side note: she produced the title track), which I remember receiving massive amounts of praise in both print & online (rightfully so 🔥). Tiye Phoenix REMAINS a stand-out on the mic with a powerful delivery, clever rhymes, knock-out punchlines, & a flow that’s sophisticated, yet hard & unwavering. Whether spitting ferocious lyrical bangers, bedroom heat, or giving us introspective, spiritually-aligned songs, Tiye is a strong, empowered woman that continues to be a force to be reckoned with in hip hop. She has been making a name for herself since the ’90s, too! She started S.O.U.L. Food Symphony, a D.C.-based all-female collective that was made up of emcees, singers, & musicians. She was the first female artist to sign to Rawkus Records. Over time, she has worked with those such as Phonte, Mos Def, The Last Emperor, Hank & Keith Shocklee, Da Beatminerz, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Queen Herawin, & more. She even toured as a rapper with Teena Marie & Rick James (RIP). That said, she has a lot of music out there through solo releases, collaborative works, freestyles, & more, but her latest is the venomous “Kill Bill 3”, which finds her, Stahhr, & Queen Herawin spitting lethal verses. It will also be on her forthcoming EP, titled The Masters Program, which is named after her current educational endeavor (getting a Master’s in counseling!). Some other things? She is an astrologer & does chart readings on IG. She is a classically trained pianist. She is beginning to direct music videos, which can be seen in “Tiye’s Echo”. She is a mother to Safa, who is a jazz singer. If you don’t know her name yet, get familiar.

FYI: Tiye Phoenix has been putting in work since that intro paragraph. She has released the previously talked about EP The Masters Program, along with another, called The Glow, in 2020.
