Compelling Calgarians: Sinzere

Rita Mingo for The Calgary herald

The words “tabula rasa” are Latin for clean slate. It was a fitting phrase for Sinzere’s debut album, which came out in August.

THE CALGARY HERALD

The self-education of Sinzere; Calgary artist uses hip-hop as an outlet for change, self-discovery and education

Appropriately called The Mission, it starts out somewhat cryptically. Her voice booming with purpose, Sinzere talks about the significance of the number 13 before referencing American abolitionist Harriet Tubman and outlining the historical, spiritual and personal ambitions of her first full-length album.

“Step inside and enjoy the ride … Tabula Rasa,” she says before the track morphs into a sublime rap with Tom Waits-ian piano and lyrics that reach back centuries in addressing the oppression of the African diaspora.

Sinzere: A Big Picture State Of Mind

The title of Sinzere’s latest work, Tabula Rasa, brings it all together. It’s a Latin phrase that means “blank slate,” but it’s also the name of a psychological theory that argues that human beings are truly a blank slate when they’re born, and that any biases or discrimination are taught to them rather than an innate human condition. Sinzere’s approach nods to the theory in full agreement, but also includes the need to erase the systems in place and begin again.

For all of Sinzere’s status as a knowledgeable rap historian, she’s been able to attract the attention of a number of legendary figures, including opening slots for Rakim, KRS-One, Raekwon and Rick Ross. Still, her biggest moment of inspiration comes from crossing paths with D12’s Obie Trice while working at her mom’s old salon and spa. His tour bus and entourage rolled through on a rainy day, and Sinzere found herself giving Trice a haircut. “I actually ended up connecting with him personally, and he’d actually just lost his mother at the time,” she says. “He was explaining to me how his new project was inspired by her. So I ended up getting on his tour bus and rolling out with him for the day. He had a signing in the mall, and it went from that to the studio.”

SATURDAY SPOTLIGHT

Rap/Soul Canadian artist Sinzere is a performer who doesn’t shy away from the raw and gritty. With witty lyricism and bold flow choices in her latest single ‘JiggaBoo’, Sinzere explores the sinsiter underbelly of entertainment and being a puppet to the industry. Her potent bars call out both the entertainment space for exploiting artists to fulfill their own agendas, while also calling out fame-hungry people for being naive mouthpieces for those in power. Through her vocal delivery, Sinzere is as genuine and determined as her name would suggest.

SINZERE – JIGGABOO [SINGLE]

Stereotypes about black people are not a new invention; they are arguably as old as written history itself. All over the globe people of other races have used some of these stereotypes to justify acts of cruelty, dehumanization, and even slavery. Worse yet, there are many black people who not only go along with racial stereotyping, they try to use it to their advantage – becoming shameless caricatures of themselves.
