His dj experience goes way back to the mid nineties when he started to practice and occasionally did a gig. However, most of his talent was saved for his big breakthrough. Since 2002 he made it up with performances on numerous big raves worldwide.
All of his productions received massive dj support on hardcore events. The enormous hits "Rotterdam Nightmare" (the anthem of the very successful return of this legendary event) "Weird Shit" and "Fuck the Fame" underlined the fact that Tha Playah deserved his success.
His performance can be best described as utterly remorseless; leaving his audience fulfilled, but totally blown away, probably missing a limb or two. Being a producer has his advantages; his performances always feature unreleased and exclusive tracks.
The debut album of one of Neophyte Records' finest, youngest and most talented hardcore artists, Tha Playah is called "The Greatest Clits". This double CD by this mastah of shock includes loads of exclusive fresh hardcore tracks produced in a way only Tha Playah can: boombastic, melodic, ruff and slammin'!! The hardcore legends Neophyte, Evil Activities, The Viper and Tommyknocker have a guest appearance on this album by delivering two stunning remixes, in which they mash up four of Tha Playah's biggies!! Next to new material, this album gives a great overview of many Playah releases and remixes he delivered over the past years. Despite of his already legendary status and the fact that he is a true 'Playah', this man remains down to earth:
"FUCK THA FAME"
Why So Serious
Tha Playah Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm a man of my word
Let's put a smile on that face
Why so serious?
He comes at me with the knife
Why so serious?
Hit me!
You've changed things... forever
There's no going back
See, to them, you're just a freak...
Like me!
You can't give in!
Why so serious?
He comes at me with the knife
Why so serious?
Hit me!
I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you... Stranger
The lyrics to Tha Playah's song "Why so serious" are a reflection of the iconic lines spoken by the character of the Joker in the 2008 film, The Dark Knight. The first lines, "Where do we begin? I'm a man of my word. Let's put a smile on that face," are a twisted invitation to chaos and destruction. The Joker is a master manipulator who revels in the chaos he creates. He wants to bring a smile to people's faces by forcing them to confront the dark aspects of human nature.
The refrain of the song, "Why so serious? He comes at me with the knife. Why so serious? Hit me!" captures the Joker's nihilistic worldview. He sees life as meaningless and devoid of purpose. The Joker is not afraid to confront danger and violence head-on. He views them as necessary tools to achieve his goals. The line "You've changed things... forever. There's no going back," is a warning to Batman that the Joker has forever altered the balance between good and evil. The Joker has become a force to be reckoned with in the world of Gotham City.
The final lines of the song, "I believe whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you... Stranger," are a further reflection of the Joker's worldview. He believes that everyone has the potential to become as twisted and chaotic as he is. The lyrics imply that even when pushed to the brink of death, the human spirit has the capacity to survive, but not without experiencing profound changes. Overall, the lyrics to "Why so serious" are a haunting representation of the Joker's nihilistic philosophy and his desire to destroy everything around him.
