Hear the crying out of Addek's lyrics in calls to civilization and society. He empathizes with words of anguish from the struggling common man to achieve better and never to succumb to, and be engulfed in mediocrity. I have no fear of taking a risk. Hear life in an honest journey through hip hop. Hear the emotional struggles of the everyday independent artist. The battle between making a living and staying creative. The battle with negative influences, avoiding the lure of corruption. Staying true to your art form, but expanding its concepts and influences. The next voice in music. Redefining the industrys abuse of technology, and using it to circumvent them. Addek began his solo career with the controversial full length release: Hip Hop 9/11! Hip Hop 9/11 contains material so controversial that Addek and Speax were forced offstage by a show organizer to prevent offending the citys mayor. The politically charged classic Critikal Timez was the culprit, a crowd favorite. This underground classic was the opening song for Mabili Ajani's long time show Critical Times on WMNFs 88.5. This track is also featured in Aftershock a documentary that contains other music produced by Addek. Addek also co-produced 11 of 16 tracks on Hip Hop 9/11, as well as completely mastering the project. Addek released Hip hop 9/11 on his independent label Realityhiphop.com which he started as a producer in 2003. Addek has finished up a B.A. in Poly Sci @ U.S.F. and is now working on aggressively expanding his label. He has a creative partnership with Sunburnt Studio based out of Sarasota, Fl. Together they are working on an equally explosive video for Critikal Timez due out soon. Addek is also working on his next release Rise 2 Power, Which is poised 2 propel Hip Hop to a new level of truth. Addek: Different from everything else. "A breath of fresh air from the smog of commercially-control messages of mainstream hip-hop." Mabili Ajani -Critical Times: Talk Revolution- Fridays 11am (ET) 88.5 FM "These independent hip hop artists deliver some of the most provocative, politically aware and revolutionary lyrics in the regions vital underground rap scene." "The most original and resonant releases to emanate from the Bays underground rap scene to date." Scott Harrell -Weekly Planet- "Addek & Speax are the Suncoasts most talked about hip hop performers, judging from reviews, air play and civic group recognition" Mark Beyer -Tampa Tribune- "Addek helps reinvigorate the concept of rap as social and political commentary, razor-sharp music for the 21st century." |
