“Arrow Rhymancis” is the new album by Diné rapper Christopher Mike-Bidtah aka Def-I of Albuquerque, New Mexico. The album will be released on April 7.
“I couldn’t forget about my female friends, they are on every track,” said Def-I.
The title of the album comes from the word “aerodynamics,” which is the study of the way air moves around things, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Def-I said the title is similar to a master of ceremonies who raps to an audience and their words travel around the room and into the ears of listeners.
“Everyone has a different flow, flow in MC rhyming,” said Def-I. “I love hearing different flows, study and learn.”
