Sum Presents :The Nobody Hole

NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE AT SUMWORLD.BANDCAMP.COM The Nobody Hole is a dark and fantastic hip-hop opera. It has been a labor of love for creator, Sum, for over four years. Borrowing themes from Alice in Wonderland, Edgar Allan Poe, Star Wars and many other influences, The Nobody Hole is a melting pot of creativity. This album is an all out experiment with songwriting, storytelling and visual art with no precedent. The ultimate goal is to one day animate the tale, thus the steady collaboration with visual artists and character designers. The story follows a boy by the name of Paul Lowenfall (also known as “Pygmy Paul”) who spends much of his lonely life sketching masterful portraits of characters from his imagination. A traumatic run-in with his mentally fragile mother breaks his heart and forces him into an alternate dimension. This alternate dimension is a halfway-world, full of the sad, lonely and broken. Nothing is what it seems, everyone is a figment of their own imagination and nobody is whole. Once he arrives in The Nobody Hole, he runs into a cast of characters he hopes will help him get back home. Among them are a pumpkin-headed sorceress, an old man with a rickety ship, and a mysterious thief with silver eyes. To make it worse, Paul's being stalked by a psychotic killer in a panda mask that he drew with his own hands. As the journey unfolds, Paul discovers a secret deep within his blood and hidden in his drawings... This is the first album of its kind; a Halloween tale told from the voice of an authentic emcee with some mean credits. An entire universe has been created, and The Nobody Hole has arrived. In addition to songs written by Sum, the tale features the outstanding music of Badtouch, narration by Sum's wife, Nzinga Kadalie and the artwork of Doug Hoffman, Jared Rogness and Jerome Lewis.
