I am Jack’s artistic outlet

Over the decades, rap has become one of the most popular genres of music.

Phenom, a new artist hailing from Ohio, is making his way onto the rap scene.

Phenom started producing for local and nationwide artists in the early 2000s. He now works with many Cleveland artists, helping them develop a sound and purpose in music.

A Cleveland native, Phenom represents his hometown by giving it a shout out in his songs. By doing this tiny yet distinct technique, he demonstrates his pride in the city on the Cuyahoga River.

Having been born and raised in Cleveland myself, I like his songs even more. It feels like he is representing where my family and I come from. I feel like Phenom doesn't just represent Cleveland with his music – he represents Ohio.

His new album is unlike any that I have heard before; it is that very detail, however, that makes this album so attractive.

The album is called "Tyler Durden" and is based around Brad Pitt's character in the popular movie "Fight Club." The entire album shares the common theme of the movie but focuses on Durden, who stands for freedom and nonconformity.

The album is very easy to follow and fun to listen to. Although typically upbeat, Phenom gives a soulful feel to a few of his songs. In most of them, he puts in dialogues from Fight Club, an addition that really connects the movie and the album well. It's much more effective than if he would've just rapped about the film.

My favorite song off the album is "For the Night Owl." I love it because I can relate – I tend to be a bit of a "night owl" myself. I like  to stay up, and I feel like I can relate more than someone who likes to go to bed early. This song is also a little different than the rest of the album; it has a different beat and feel to it, which I love.

His album isn't only about his music; it's about him. He made this album personal by rapping about his own life. He talks about girls, his friends and just his life in general.

The songs in "Tyler Durden" have a great beat. It's perfect to dance to or just jam out to while you're driving down the road.

While I loved how unique Phenom's style was, there were some parts that didn't really sit right with me.

Some of the dialogue pieces, while they were a very good concept, seemed a little out of place. I believe it would have been better for him to integrate more of the dialogue into the middle of his songs and rapped about the scene, rather than just tacking them on the end.

That's not Phenom's style, though. He really put his own touch on his album by putting them where they are.

I think fans of rap will enjoy this album even though it is different than the rap heard on the radio today.

Most people have never heard of music based off a movie before, but I highly suggest looking up this album.
