[edit] Concept
Blaze Ya Dead Homie establishes the character portrayed by the artist, Blaze Ya Dead Homie, and provides basic background to his story. Blaze is a gang member who was killed in a drive-by shooting during the late 1980s.[2][3] Over a decade later, he was "mysteriously resurrected from the dead."[3]
[edit] Music and lyrics
Through the concept of a reincarnated gang member, Blaze was able to express his real life interest in the supernatural "alongside his history with the 'hood and affinity for gangster rap."[3] Blaze considers Blaze Ya Dead Homie his most realistic album because he incorporated much of his personal experience into the EP.[3] He has continued to use much of the same styles and themes throughout all of his work since creating the Blaze Ya Dead Homie character. The theme of reincarnation in this EP also served as a metaphor in reality, as Blaze was returning to rapping after he had quit for a short period due to an unsuccessful early career.[3]
