A Thorn in the United States Speaks

By Adam Glass
We were told this is his very first full album as a solo artist, and we were right,so we decided to ask him,"what gives"? His name is Lord Hector Diono, a name given to him by a 1990's Atlanta radio personality named Kenny Diamond of V-103, and a small child in south east Atlanta Georgia who witnessed a physical confrontation the music man was involved in that was said to display boxing characteristics of famed boxer Macho Hector Camacho. Lord Hector Diono would probably be best described musically as; Barry White vs Nate Dogg, for harmony and bass vocal ability,50 cent vs DMX for his street edge lyrical content, and Van Halen vs Mother's finest for his music production and compositions to describe him as a producer songwriter/rap artist in short.(Juliana Kutuzov AP) Born Lord Michael Chambers Rosenthorn,Hector has often been referred to by some music insiders as one of the untold stories of the late Notorious B.I.G.; it started with a promise that was never fulfilled because of the untimely death of the slain Brooklyn rapper,who was also the best friend of Damion D-Roc Butler of Roc Darling Films, who is the nephew to Darnell Johnson, the Godfather to Lord Hector Diono; a promise to come back to Atlanta Georgia and help groom and present Hector to the world. Hector has since bounced back from the tragedy,and now has a self titled,produced,composed,written,and arranged LP available now on itunes, Rhapsody,Napster,emusic,and Amazon.com entitled "Thorn"
The question was "Is this your last album?" The Decatur based unsung music icon told us it's his last independent rap album.
In His Own Words "There's so much more to me than rappin' on a mic.I'm a music composer, I produce music,I write songs, I shoot & edit short films,and I actually play some piano homey, and I want to share my craft with other artist that really put it down, be it singers or emcees. I've been in the business since I was thirteen years old man, I'm ready to transition to my full potential, my full potential aint rappin homey, it's making music and film for the globe ya feel me?"
Lord Hector Diono released his album "Thorn" June 2, 2010 through his indie label Dark Town Music Group and is distributed worldwide by an online distribution company called Catapult. This latest project, "Thorn(soundtrack for the O.G.)" was recorded and produced in Decatur, Georgia.Check your local online stores for availability. This album was released on Lord Hector's indie label Dark Town Music Group.The LP contains some explicit lyrics and parental discretion is advised. The album also features some Atlanta talent from "Shred(the verbal tongue)"of the Atlanta rap group "The Five",Dark Town Music Group R&B crooner,"Danny Houston" and Utica New York emcee,"Tommy Bunz". I give the LP 4 out of 5 stars for over all content. Be sure to visit http://www.lordhectordiono.com for updates it is available now online at your favorite online stores.
