I like this idea, here goes.


Big Berd is my gangster-persona alter ego, full name Eddward Bennjamin DeHefy Nygma, C.E.O. of Big Berd Recordings and Event Management, former Mayor of an apocalyptic city in the future.


Brought up from a scrappy street life that shaped him into a godforsaken killer, Berd made his way through spheres of gang bosses and political influencers while breaking hearts and proving his worth through muscle and will. After a hard turn that forces him to face the evils of his ways, he resolves to do better and right his wrongs, but the savage life of the streets stays hungry. He is eventually driven to suicide and leaprs from a cliff, but just barely survives and is brought to a high-tech medical facility. Here, goes through experimental treatments and is then cryogenically frozen.


Waking up hundreds of years in the future, he slowly acclimates to a sci-fi world, and helps grow a small post-apocalyptic community into a flourishing city. He is soon elected the mayor of this city, his ascent littered with crime and corruption. Realizing his villainous status is now more prominent than ever, he takes a major step back, and places the most capable, good-hearted people around him into positions of power.


Eventually he discovers a way to go backwards through time and returns to his own era. He links up with a record executive and a venue network overseer, establishing a media and hospitality empire, and personally produces some progressive-positive-spiritual rap music.


From here, he takes the same route as Puff Daddy and ends up throwing himself off a cliff again and stuck in a long-ass timeloop.


That's where he's at right now.


Never typed this out in full before but this has kind of been the underlying plot that takes place over the 10+ albums worth of lyrics that I've written under the name Big Berd over the last 15+ years. A lot of it is really loosely strung together but I've been conceptualizing it for the last few years since getting back up into music making.

thanks for the prompt.
