From the rugged heart of Bridgeport, Connecticut, to the mountain skies of Colorado, veteran emcee and producer Broken Sword has carved out a path that few in hip-hop can parallel. Today, he officially drops his long-awaited album Legend of The Broken Sword — a cinematic, Kung Fu-inspired journey through sound, soul, and self-mastery.
With over 25 years in the game, Broken Sword has lived through every evolution of hip-hop — from cassette battles to digital dominance — and still stands unwavering in his originality. Early on, he was sharpened by greats like Rakim, Public Enemy, Big Daddy Kane, and Kool G Rap, artists who shaped his understanding of cadence, consciousness, and control.
“I started professionally when I was still a teen,” he recalls. “First with Ghetto Link, then Citizens of Kaos. Those years taught me the business — the grind, the patience, the craft.”
Now, as both artist and producer, Broken Sword has refined his skillset into something personal and precise. The name itself tells the story: the sword is the tongue, and the English — or slang — is broken. What results is a flow both poetic and raw, equal parts discipline and danger.
Inside Legend of The Broken Sword
Broken Sword’s new album feels like a film — a martial-arts motion picture scored through beats and bars. Each track carries the energy of a duel: sharp, spiritual, and full of intent.
The project features Myalansky (Wu-Syndicate) on the menacing yet meditative “Yakuza,” and Raiz Da Novelis on the cinematic “The Eagle and The Crane.” Both tracks expand the mythos of the album, blending Eastern mysticism with street wisdom in a way that feels timeless.
Production credits go to Prince Predator and Screwaholic, two sonic architects who give the record its textured, movie-like atmosphere — dusty samples, tight drums, and ancient-sounding flutes that echo through the chaos like temple bells.
The Message: Positivity, Power, and Purpose
Older, wiser, and spiritually aligned, Broken Sword now uses his music as a vessel for upliftment. Gone are the days of negative storytelling — today, his rhymes are mantras, declarations of faith and endurance.
“I’ve been through a lot,” he says. “But I’m focused on positive energy now. My music’s about spirituality, about standing tall and staying true no matter what comes your way.”
That balance — between toughness and tenderness, between warrior and monk — gives Legend of The Broken Sword a rare duality in modern hip-hop. It’s aggressive, yet enlightening. Street-born, yet divine.
Following the album’s release, Broken Sword is already preparing a new EP produced entirely by Prince Predator, alongside multiple collaborative projects that continue his creative expansion. As a self-sufficient producer and artist, he’s in full command of his craft and his message.
