Biography
Citizen Cope (aka Clarence Greenwood) is a singer/songwriter from Brooklyn NYC that blends folk, reggae, blues, and rock. His music is simple to the point of being stripped down, as if bearing it all was the only way to get our attention. A mix of hip-hop, folk, and blues his songs are mostly beats – mix bass drum, high hat, snare, clap track and repeat – buffed smooth by a haggard, road-weary voice. Uncommon chords for texture and keyboards for lift. One Rolling Stone critic called him “a modern day bluesman who paints a plaintive portrait of the human condition.”
