1. Virtuoso, rapper and hip-hopper from USA
2. Virtuoso, operatic pop vocal group from Finland
1. Virtuoso has been in the game since 1998 solidifying his reputation as a groundbreaking vocalist and a true renaissance man. He founded his own record label, Big Bang Records and is hard at work finishing his new album, WW3:The Final Conflict. But all this didn't happen overnight, he has exhibited supreme dedication to living his dreams and despite resistance at every turn, Virutoso is rounding the corner and is poised to explode.
Born just outside of Boston, Massachusetts, Virtuoso was blessed with a strong heritage in the realm of thought & sound. Virtually growing up in recording studios, he regularly accompanied his father on the job as a top studio electronics specialist in MA in the early 1980's. His early exposure to the Boston music scene had him hanging around Rock&Roll legends like Aerosmith, Boston & the Cars and prepared him for what would soon become a career path of his own.
In addition to his musical aspirations, young Virt was also a workhorse on the pitchers mound. He was a starting pitcher on the Cambridge Rindge& Latin Varsity team from his freshman year on, and by all accounts he had the stuff to make the big leagues. But apparently his destiny laid elsewhere because a tragic line drive struck his collarbone on the mound. Never one to go down easy Virt still picked up the ball and threw the batter out before the pain hit and he hit the ground. During the difficult recovery period Virt returned to his childhood passion of music with a vengeance, and a year later he was devastating street corner cyphers and rocking any stage he could get his feet on. After hearing a particularly vicious tounge lashing by Virt of some local MC's on the corner of Mass Ave, Fakts One invited Virt to appear on his legendary "True School Thursdays" radio show. After he rocked it the phones lit up and Virt started connecting the dots, soon pairing with Madsol Desar for the now classic "Omnipotence".
By age 17, Virtuoso was making his own vinyl records, appearing on international releases and touring across the globe. Virtuosos fiery, intellectual battle raps and honest, cutting-edge social commentary quickly caught the attention of the international underground hip-hop community. With a deep, powerful voice and assorted, dexterous flows, he debuted on wax in 1998 and was immediately recognized as a force to be reckoned with on the exploding Boston hip-hop scene.
After whetting appetites with devastating off the head freestyles and a string of show-stealing guest appearances, Virtuoso released his first single, "Incinerator," b/w Orions Belt, featuring Mr. Lif and Esoteric. After dropping two more 12" he released his self-distributed debut album, "WW1: The Voice of Reason" acclaimed by fans and critics alike for its lyrical prowess and diverse soundscape. He followed up this succesfull debut with the Molemen produced 12" "God of Thunder" and appeared on many notable releases in the international music scene.
Virtuoso has performed extensively in the United States, opening for such popular acts as A Tribe Called Quest, Busta Rhymes, The Beatnuts, Eminem, Rakim, Bravehearts, Black Moon, Wu-Tang Clan, Deltron 3030 & M.O.P. He has toured Europe four times, including two stints with Oakland lyrical legends, Hieroglyphics. He has also collaborated on record with such musical luminaries as Del tha Funkee Homosapien, Casual, Jaz-O, Tatiana Ali, Bahamadia, Mr.Lif, Akrobatik, Jedi Mind Tricks, 7L & Esoteric, Torch and DJ Vadim. His trail-blazing lyrical genius, packaged in a unique blend of hard-edged hip-hop containing elements of rock, funk and dramatic orchestra has garnered significant notice. Virt has been featured in magazines such as URB, XXL, Mass Appeal and Insomniac and was awarded a Boston Music Award in 2002 for Outstanding Hip-Hop act. His dazzling freestyle skills also earned him an appearance on CBSs The Carson Daly Show and resulted in a final-four finish in the HBO Blaze magazine MC Battle.
Staying true to the ferocious energy that gained him recognition, he came back with a vengeance for his RYKO distributed sophmore LP, "WW2: Evolution of the Torturer." Released in an election year, his former label Omnipotent Records partnered with the maverick NYC imprint Raptivism Records to unleash his fury. The album provides some of the most radical content in recent memory, including the controversial lead single Farenheit 9/11 b/w "Military Intelligence f/Akrobatik" that plays like a hip-hop soundtrack for the war in Iraq & Afghanistan. Now in 2006 Virtuoso is on fire, releasing his explosive new mix CD "Big Bangers" on his newly founded Big Bang Records, and getting ready to start a tour in support of his upcoming 2006 LP "The Final Conflict".

Animal
Virtuoso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I swallow six foot men my jaw size ludicrous
When I was new to this I ate my siblings in the uterus
Kill a killer whale, iller scales than iguanas
Shred cows in seconds like thousands of pirahnas
Hammer head thermal radar sensors increase
Crossing under-water vocanic peaks where lava leaks
The bola zambezi shark rip you apart
Livers eighteen gallons of oil to help me float
More than eighteen gallons of blood fell out your throat
After I co-ordinate pectoral and dorsal
To your co-ordinates then dissect your body to morsels
On Normandy's beach it's storming
Ferocious feeding frenzys forming, as your blood is emptied its pouring
Needle nosed battering ram, shattering slams to your cattamaran
With my teeth stabbing your glands
[Chorus x2]
Raahhh! I am an animal!
Sea land or air, eat a man or two
Chew through whole crews like a cannibal
Cut and sandwich you, I am an animal!
[Verse 2]
I'm the malicious mammal, killing sadistic vandals
Who are destroying earths crystalline twisted channels
My tiger fleet need thirteen pounds of meat
Each a day to stay alive and eat
The chief predator, so if you got beef I'm deading ya
Chew through caribou large cattle etcetera
And man stands at the head of the list
He destroys prey and habitat that let us exist
The caspian bali and java were not survivors
I roll with the indo-chinese and south china
Sumatran, bengal and siberian
When caught men fall and scream I'm not hearing 'em
Every tiger's unique stripes distinguishes
Us from one another like human finger prints
My tiger claw wounds you can't hide with gauze
Died of course with your skull inside my jaws!
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
My razor beak and crest are sharp and regal
Dark and evil, the ravenous harpy eagle
Dart between trees, snatch two toed sloths
Seventeen pounds to the ground then chew its nose off
Wing span is ten feet
I beat howler monkies out the trees while you pecking seed where the hens eat
The bald eagle, perched on a tall steeple
All feeble prey get slayed including ya'll people
When I'm landing with my team start abandoning your dream
Snatch that ass like a salmon in a stream
Slashing ya, in the air tear half of ya
Cause the other half dropped in Alaska
I'm hacking the flesh off the back of ya
Then take a bath in ya, fresh blood like Dracula
I ravage ya, carcass like a scavenger
Claws stabbing ya, aerial attack massacre!
[Chorus]
The song "Animal" by Virtuoso is a gritty and aggressive exploration of the viciousness of the animal kingdom. The lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of different animals and their capabilities, showing the brutality and power that they possess. The first verse sets the tone for the song, with the rapper describing himself as an animal that can swallow six-foot men and shred cows in seconds. He talks about his thermal radar sensors and his ability to survive the dinosaur extinction with a ridiculous heart. The second verse focuses on tigers, with the rapper describing how they need thirteen pounds of meat each day and how man destroys their prey and habitat. The final verse is about the harpy eagle, an animal that is "dark and evil" and can snatch two-toed sloths out of trees.
The song is a powerful commentary on the harshness of nature and the cruelty of the animal kingdom. It highlights the fact that humans are not the only creatures capable of extreme violence and aggression. Animals are often depicted as cute and cuddly creatures in popular culture, but "Animal" pulls back the curtain and exposes the brutal reality of the natural world.
