Kam Moye, for­merly Supastition, is proud to announce the release of his lat­est video, "Splitting Image". Produced by Symbolyc One, and shot and directed by Matt Koza, whose cred­its include Little Brother, RJD2, and Kam's own "Let's Be Honest," the video depicts a story about life's choices forc­ing growth and gain­ing knowl­edge. Apparent through­out the video, Kam's name change is more than just cos­metic - the "split­ting image" also refers to a dis­tinct change lyri­cally towards a wiser per­sona with a great deal of life expe­ri­ence and perspective.

The breathy and angelic vocal stylings of Neenah com­ple­ment the set­ting of the video and serve to bal­ance Kam's con­fi­dent and poised rhymes. Standing amidst a bar­ren back­drop, Kam deliv­ers a pow­er­ful mes­sage and chal­lenges lis­ten­ers to not only "grow older" but to also "grow" as indi­vid­u­als. Kam Moye explains, "I wanted it to doc­u­ment my real life story of becom­ing a father at 16 and show the pres­sure I was fac­ing at the time. I couldn't even take care of myself when I brought my daugh­ter into the world." He con­tin­ues, "It's a way of show­ing younger peo­ple that your life isn't over when you make a bad deci­sion but it means you've got to work twice as hard at your dreams. Hopefully some­one will feel inspired by it." By jux­ta­pos­ing Kam's ver­bals with visu­als of a teenager's unplanned cir­cum­stances, the video makes good on its promise of hope and resilience. Kam Moye raps, "It's hard to back­track, start a new begin­ning. / So start­ing today I'm vow­ing to make a new end­ing. / They say a new you is hard to rebuild / But keep­ing some per­sonal flaws are just part of the deal."

North Carolina's own, Kam Moye aka Supastition, teams up with up and com­ing Bay Area direc­tor, Charles Barcelona (Homegrown Outfitters/Right Lane Ent) for the Marco Polo-pro­duced banger, "Forever Fresh." The video is done documentary-style and show­cases Kam in var­i­ous behind-the-scenes clips, past videos, and show footage from per­for­mances in the U.S. and abroad. The rest of the video was shot on loca­tion in San Francisco and Los Angeles. The song itself is rem­i­nis­cent of the for­mer Supastition sound with Kam spit­ting rapid fire, while still drop­ping jew­els like "I'm what hap­pens when a child prodigy grows up." Marco Polo's head nod­ding pro­duc­tion shines bril­liantly through­out the track  tri­umphant horn stabs and clas­sic boom bap drums leave the per­fect back­drop for Kam's feroc­ity. "Forever Fresh" is the b-side to Kam Moye's offi­cial sec­ond sin­gle and album title track, "Splitting Image."

Also, be sure to also check out Kam's appear­ance on the offi­cial Wake Up Show Anthem 2010, which also fea­tures appear­ances from Tajai of Souls Of Mischief, Crooked I, Tech N9ne, The RZA, Ras Kass, B-Real, and more.

Splitting Image com­ing this Tuesday via Myx Music Label. I remem­ber say­ing ear­lier this year that Myx Music was about to make some major moves this year. I didn't know how right I was when I said it. I'm glad I was right, though. Via Rock The Dub & 2DB.

To cel­e­brate the release of the new “Splitting Image” album, the offi­cial Kam Moye Album Release Party will be going down on THURSDAY, OCTOBER 29, 2009 at the new Dharma Lounge in Charlotte, NC. I need YOU in the place to make this night unfor­get­table. This is slated to be my biggest album to date so why not throw the biggest party to cel­e­brate. Special guest per­for­mances by Rapper Big Pooh (of Little Brother), DJ D.R. (live on the MPC), DJ Forge (pro­vid­ing the music for the night), and a few more sur­prises. The event will be hosted by Charlotte’s own Wolly Vinyl with pho­tog­ra­phy being han­dled by Jasiatic. This is also a Birthday cel­e­bra­tion for the lovely Mrs Kam Moye. Regardless of where you’re from or how far you’re traveling…I promise you that this is one show you don’t want to miss!!! This event is brought to you cour­tesy of Reform School, Hall of Justus, MYX Music, and Niche Market.

Never in my life­time would I have thought that choos­ing to go by my real name instead of my rap alias would gain so much atten­tion (more than the music itself). To the rest of the world, I changed my name but per­son­ally, I just dropped my rap alias. I’ve heard a mil­lion rea­sons why I changed it (some pretty ridicu­lous) so I’m going to set the record straight. So for those of you who want to know or care enough to read then feel free to con­tinue read­ing because this is my final time address­ing it. To those who could care less….well, con­tinue car­ing less! This is a long read and we are in the Twitter age where peo­ple aren’t fond of read­ing more than 140 characters…

I don't know what else to say about Kam Moye that I haven't said or that his songs have told you. This brother's dope, plain & sim­ple. If you don't believe me, then let Splitting Image argue his case on October 27th. [via]

Kam relays the song's mes­sage from the get-go, say­ing, "If you don't appre­ci­ate what you have right now, you'll never appre­ci­ate what's com­ing to you in the future." The song is con­cep­tual in the way that each verse tack­les dif­fer­ent issues relat­ing to mate­ri­al­ism and super­fi­cial ten­den­cies. Kam goes in on mate­ri­al­ism for the first verse before touch­ing on women and rela­tion­ships in verse two and star­dom in the third and final verse, rap­ping, "I don't need peo­ple in the streets to know me / Man, I kind of like keep­ing it dis­creet and low-key." With Veterano pro­vid­ing a soul­ful back­drop for Kam's true-to-life deliv­ery, this track is poised to turn some heads as the lead sin­gle off his new album. Be sure to get a taste of Kam Moye's new sound, and look out for Splitting Image via MYX Music Label October 27, 2009.
