Ginsbergs Inkling - The Halfpenny Marvel (2006)
The Maritimes are pretty, especially in the fall. But the beauty of falling red maple leaves weren’t enough to keep Ginsberg (John Creary) content. With no mustache, he packed the rusty Corolla and sought something bigger. Almost satisfied somewhere in Cowtown, he teaches English and Social Studies to youth at-risk, spending his free time traveling, reading, writing and making beats. These latter two creative yearnings collided into his debut release, The Halfpenny Marvel.
Way back in 86’, Raising Hell and License to Ill set in marvelous motion an imperfect love affair. A romance with rhyme that involved reciting all the lyrics of these classics to grade six teachers and giggling schoolgirls. Two decades later, The Halfpenny Marvel is a self produced, juggle of orthodox hip hop and something more creative, uncanny, and humane. A bending collage of dusty breaks, spacey synth, pretty pianos, fluttering flutes, somber horns, electronic melodies, movie clips, and tight turntable scratches (courtesy of Matt ‘Braille’ Cameron).
Ginsberg’s words are mostly poetic musings, capturing moments and wandering over social sickness, ex-girlfriends, red balloons, teary eyed depression, and new haircuts. The mood is both dark and warm. Apocalyptic and playful. Cinematic, personal, and worn. And if nothing else, The Halfpenny Marvel shows wonderful potential marinating.
