This past week, it was announced that T BARZ has been added to the already phenomenal line-up to perform at the 25th Annual ESSENCE Music Festival in New Orleans on July 5-7. “I am still in shock that I will be part of such a spectacular and momentous event. This is stuff that you dream of as a kid and to know that I will be rocking one the stages at ESSENCE, it’s simply unreal ,” said T BARZ.

The re-release of Genesis is led by the smash single, “The Lyfe“. The single is already creating national buzz with airplay in Atlanta, New Orleans, Mobile, New York, Connecticut, Philadelphia and Los Angeles. “The Lyfe” was written by T Barz, Lou Humphrey and Jasmon Joyner. “It’s a vibe song inspired by an almost summer day, 70 degrees to be exact, top down while riding on an old-school ride driving through the neighborhood thinking about those goals that you want to accomplish” adds Barz.

“This has been something that I’ve wanted the world to hear for years. When I first started working on the album, I knew I wanted the end result to be what it is today. Genesis is me…from beginning to end and I am very proud of the work we have put into this project. A representation of me in music form with a bit of something for everyone to enjoy and relate,” says T Barz. “The unique album cover also symbolizes what this album means to me. The beginning. With this being my debut album, I wanted to come from the bottom and blossom into this beautiful tree filled with life. The graphic artist was able to bring my ideas and vision to life and I could not be happier,” adds Barz.

Standout tracks on “Genesis” includes the title track, “Genesis” where T Barz just simply flows on the track with no hooks, just barz. Then, there is “The Illest”, the in-your-face song where Barz proves why she calls herself the illest lyrically and no one can tell her otherwise. On “Bottles” she touches on a topic that affects many of us in the community, Alcoholism. She lends her experiences on what she has witnessed with others and simply shares a word of encouragement to those that are facing this battle or have faced it in the past.

She is also set to be to the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans, La. on Friday July 5-7.
