Featured Artist of the Week 5.30.2010 : SKIPP COON & Mr. Nick

Ladies and Gentleman, we are back again with another HOTT Independent artist as this week's feature. This week's artist is the epitome of revolutionary, bold and independent. When you hear the phrase, "the revolution will not be televised" its very correct, because the revolution is being told through bars of rhythmic rhymes. I proudly present to you, Jackson, MS native, SKIPP COON & MR. NICK! Today you will learn more about this revolutionary hip hop duo, hear their music and have all of their contact information at your fingertips. Sit back, relax and enjoy SKIPP COON & MR. NICK...

***Who Are They???

“The revolution will not be televised, but thanks to Skipp Coon and Mr. Nick, it can be heard.” – Jackson Free Press, 2008

Where it all began:  A DJ & an Emcee.

Skipp Coon’s (Joecephus Martin) words embody those of one that is definitely a by-product of his environment.  His lines are witty & dark, sincere yet powerful and his message is thought-provoking and socially conscious, all of which complement his political, societal, and economic views.  Skipp simply “makes music that allows his listeners to reflect and not feel alone in the struggle”.

Mr. Nick (Nicholas Mejia), an extremely diverse musician and multi-instrumentalist, got his start playing guitar in various bands in Miami. First an avid record collector, then a DJ, eventually he got involved with production and electronic instruments when he realized the power of the drum, and as a result, he now makes music not because he wants to, but because he has to.

So… What makes these two so unique?  You ask good questions. 
Skipp Coon, a rapper from Jackson, Mississippi, had no idea what he and Mr. Nick, a DJ from Miami could have possibly had in common.  The verdict: good music.  In the spring of 2008, Nick approached Skipp, after one of his sets at the well-known basement lounge, Seven*Studioz, complimenting Skipp on his sound.  After many long conversations and meetings, the two agreed to work on Skipp’s next project... together.  Having never done any production or engineering, Nick took on the challenge of producing and recording Skipp’s entire album.



The rapper & the DJ officially became a duo and created Women Revolution Tennis Shoes, initially released October 2008 on Skipp’s independently-owned label, TiBBiT Music.  The album contains 10 tracks of Skipp’s fresh, raw lyricism and Nick’s eclectic mix of traditional and experimental sounds.  Reissued February 2010, Women Revolution Tennis Shoes continues to gain Skipp Coon & Mr. Nick acclaim from a growing audience.

In concert, Skipp & Nick keep their audience engaged, as they provide a nostalgic look at where it all began:  A DJ & an emcee. Skipp provides a mean, cadential flow, occasionally flashing the crowd a smile while Nick provides the sounds with with an ever-growing arsenal of buttons and blinking lights, each time giving the fans far more than they expected. 

An album full of surprises and with a sound of its own, Women Revolution Tennis Shoes rattles out intense percussive beats paired with soulful and bluesy riffs, and live instrumentation to serve as the perfect backdrop to the sharp, crafty, and unmistakable flow that together make a flawless 40 minute experience.

Featured Artist of the Week 5.23.2010 Presents: A. LEVY

Ladies & Gentleman, we are back with another HOTT artist for Featured Artist of the Week. This week's artist is a New Orleans native, like myself, and has been killing the local scene lyrically & through production. I present to you A. LEVY! A. Levy has a unique sound that is distinguishable amongst millions. Here you will find out more about A. Levy the artist/producer, listen to his music and find out how you can reach him to book him/hear MORE music or find out how you can collaborate on a project. So, sit back & enjoy A. LEVY, this week's featured artist...



***Who is He???



Born and raised in New Orleans Austin Levy, who has been recording and performing under the moniker A. Levy since 1999, has shared the same stages as Mickey Factz, Curren$y, Mannie Fresh, N.E.R.D. and many more.

With a classic New Orleans Hip Hop sound that will make your head bob and meaningful messages to match the flavor of the instrumentals that accompany his rhymes, A. Levy is well on his way to making a name for himself in the underground Hip Hop scene.

A. Levy has released two mixtapes, “You Welcome” and “Crashed Harddrive” which together have allowed him to accumulate fans across the nation from Los Angeles to New York and even Seattle. His first project saw desirable results but it was his second, and most recent, that solidified his spot in the New Orleans music scene and garnered him respect amongst his peers.

Music from his latest project, a 21-track tape, saw features from some of New Orleans’ finest emcees and production by some of the city’s best. The first single, N.O.L.A. is currently in rotation on New Orleans’ radio station, Q93. Tune in to Q93 radio personality, Wild Wayne’s weekly talk show “Real Talk” on Saturday mornings at 8 and you can hear more of his work via the show’s theme song.

An audio engineer and owner of The H.U.T. Studios, L.L.C. located in his hometown, A. Levy's musical influences, some of which can be heard in his own style, include Nas, Eminem, Jay-z, Mac, Lupe Fiasco, Fiend, Mystikal, Kanye West, Outkast and the entire Hip Hop culture worldwide



***His Music

Featured Artist of the Week 5.16.2010: Spits Nelson

Ladies and gentleman, we are back with a brand new Featured Artist of the Week, SPITS NELSON. Spits is a Jersey native, and is on a journey to put the East Coast back in the forefront of the industry. Today you will find out more about the artist as an individual, hear his music & find out how you can reach him to get even more of him. So sit back & enjoy Spits Nelson, this week's Featured Artist...

***Who is He????

“I can’t lose. Y’all better place the bet on me. I’ve been a g since 1983. that was my birth year, November 14th, a Scorpio then I was placed on this Earth here. I won’t bullshit around like some do. I was born to shine like the sun do. Born to grind, born to hustle, endured the struggle now I see the light through the tunnel.”

Oh I forgot this was a bio, my fault. They call me Spits, Spits Nelson, Joshua, or J-Nel, and yes I do it for the people. The beats are my psychologists and the rap is my therapy.

North Jersey (Newark) grew me, South Jersey (Willingboro) raised me, came up to Boston (Fisher College), then the flow got crazy! I’m just like y'all, I enjoy basketball games, X-Box 360, push start vehicles, the WWF, rainy days, and Haagen Dazs Vanilla Ice Cream.

I’ve been doing hip-hop music for the last six years. My work includes songs produced by Korona, a young, talented producer who blossomed at producing hip hop music of all types. In other words, he was a beast! He taught me to appreciate music and try different things when writing. I owe a lot of my success to having met him in 2004.

Over the years I’ve had the pleasure of working with some dope artists such as Iron Mic, Haas, V.S., Mastermyndz, Siiyara Nelson, Jimmy Wyldtree, and 2nd Avenue. I’m currently working with a new upstart record company called B.L.A.K. (Born Leaders Appointed Kings) Label Music.

My goal is to touch every city at least once and make sure the lunch is served. If y’all want Spits Nelson in your city hit me up at spits@spitsnelson.com and I’ll be glad to come through and serve lunch! Peace, Love, and Good Music.




***His Music

"Driving" 

"More Than Rap"

"You Know its Me"




 
***How Can I Get More of Him???




Congratulations Spits on being Featured Artist of the Week! Thank you for letting me share your talent with the world...I wish you all the luck on your future endeavors. I'll be watching & tracking your career from here on out. Ladies and gentleman, I hope you liked what you saw today. We'll be back next week with another hot artist...
