Kellee moved to Pittsburgh in her late teens with the dream of changing the world. She learned more about the negative sides of our society through study at the University of Pittsburgh and Hip Hop was solidified as her passion and outlet for activism. She also experienced watching her mother go through a near death bout with cancer and used writing as a means to cope. She began performing in 2000 and has not stopped since. However, a sense of not being able to make any real change, a lack of confidence, and need for financial security pushed her into the workforce and on the spiritual journey, which proved to be a unique opportunity to learn about what would became her inspiration as an artist.
Kellee worked in events and promotions at the Pittsburgh City Paper right after college. After her father passed away Kellee again turned to music as a way to cope. Soon after the tragedy, she started her own female owned and operated, socially conscious company, Nakturnal, in hopes of securing a better income to help her mother in the future and allow for growth in her music career. For over two years now, Nakturnal has been considered the leading guerilla marketing and events organization in the region, that works daily for independent artists, worthy causes and is expanding nationally. While Nakturnal was growing, Kellee found more time to record and perform, and released her first album, Age of Feminine. She is currently working on her second release which highlights her mystical side. She is also launching a website that will act as an artistic statement with the help of a huge female team made up of Nakturnal and other talented Pittsburgh based women.
A deeply spiritual person striving to enjoy and appreciate the present, Kellee now sees activism on a energetic level that starts within. She studies the power of intention, meditation, quantum physics, astrology, tarot and other forms of mysticism. She feels her purpose in life is to make music that sends out good energy and makes people think. She believes massive global change is coming and that it starts with the individual. She asserts that our inner world is a mirror of our outer reality and that we have the power to help positively affect the world by "being the change we wish to see", as Ghandi puts it. She believes we are entering a new stage of evolution in human consciousness and hopes that her music inspires change and awareness in the listener. She believes music and art hold the key to the revolution we need and that we can enjoy this moment while opening hearts and minds.
Revival
Kellee Maize Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To all the ladies and my girls at nakturnal
Grab your journal. Its eternal.
See if you feel this.
The fear isnt out there, no ma its just love
We co-create this pain inside forever
Oh please, hu be′s, just take a look
You hooked, cause ain't no such thing as halfway lifted
The spirits around when the crown opens expansive sound
It′s similar in shaman law
Now we all float up and fold, and beyond, we in control
They better have the gemstones ready
Settin the babies free and our third eye steady
Hand healing is subtle, we touch you
Cells expand no bs to go home wit
My aura is thick, cause I be up in the mix of rapture
Enlightenment, this is what I'm after
The hate got a girl depressed
Wish my ether was armor to absorb the stress
God bless ur soul, the hematite is laid searching for the scroll
Holy grail quilt, the feminine re-enter
Two skills to one, put us together
It's like mixin citrine and guilt
Duality is lastin, takin my enemies with me
And all the outkasted I will never regret see
Goddess lives in me, retracted, and some confuse it as an act
We′ve risen now we can′t turn back
This is the fact, quantum physics is my crack
That can't say no, I will release the slack
Take a breath thank the goddess ur alive
Revival of the fifth sun we will survive
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth sun we will survive
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth sun we will survive
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth sun we will survive
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth
I′m zapped in the vortex I melt
Go with the flow you know when the flow gets low
His feathers go, remember that
As long as you don't have my back
I′ll be on the clock hustlin' recording a track
Reroute my team in tact and proceed exhausted
But certain payout more than the cost and
Its written the new world order, forget it, your smitten
My mother gave up spent a lot of time wishin
Mayan 5th world is my new sale pitchin
Ask my fam when I separated, alien fits in
But shit happens for a reason
No sense in holdin me down its really u
That your fist squeezin
Science now explains how your higher self tickle
Hit with a 528 hertz occult
Take responsibility and stop all the blame
No need to shoot bigger than me
Forget the fame
The point is set to tip the hundredth monkey real quick
Only a few, absorbin all your prejudice
Full affect don′t forget ain't done yet
No matter how much love I get
I'm making freedom my project, forever
Not givin up until it gets better
Indeed self improve and then we get together
When babies in the hearse, something just don′t work
Try not to react to silly shit and let my feelins hurt
My crews all about truth, we still cute
And quickly see to inner beauty root
Beyond self, on the track, stood up when I feel
In the city of bridges the portal opens well
You better realize
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth sun we will survive
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth sun we will survive
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth sun we will survive
Keep givin love till the day that we die
Revival of the fifth
Wanna give a shout out to brett from american built
Peter joseph from zeitgiest
Ben stewart from kymatica
And of course mobb - mobb deep
Much love
The lyrics of Kellee Maize's song "Revival" seem to be about personal transformation and the power of love to change oneself and the world around them. The first verse refers to the idea that fear and pain are not external forces acting upon us, but rather something we create within ourselves. The lyrics go on to suggest that we have the ability to control our own emotions and that healing can come from within.
The second verse mentions the power of gemstones and aura healing to reduce stress and aid in spiritual enlightenment. The next few lines seem to refer to the importance of feminine energy and the idea that women have a great power within them. There is also a nod to the Mayan fifth world theory, which focuses on the idea of a cosmic shift towards a new way of living in harmony with the planet.
The chorus repeats the phrase "Revival of the fifth sun we will survive" as a sort of mantra, encouraging listeners to keep striving for positive change through love and self-improvement.

DAIN "DEFEND THE 412"
The only ones who can't feel this are the ones who are too young to understand that hip hop
Was based on knowledge and not on drugs and guns...conscious rappers aren't felt by the deaf dumb and blind not because of lack of talent, but rather because they are light years ahead of their competition! keep going hard!! 412

Or the ones who read 'google female rapper'... oh the cringe :)
Kelsey Marie

Jordan Modic
If you know her music you know its more then hip hop. She sends a message, music is what you make it. Good music is good to listen to and like other forms of art makes a point. This is good music.

Consistently one of the most deep, intellectual, passionate, caring, talented, and heart felt rappers ever. The messages are so deeply positive for all. Thank you again Kellee. I keep my autographed CD in my safe. The universe loves you
LazarusCato
I love the production on this song, it's got that real sound, rather than the machine made pop beats.
Hunter Mann
Great rapping, good to hear lyrics that are a let go of the usual rapper content, bravo! I'm reminded of how great it was to first hear PM Dawn and how they focussed on new age lyrical themes. Wishing Kellee continued success. You're doing important work. You grow girlfriend!
