Breez Evahflowin Information

1. Over feat. Swave Sevah & Shaneeka Harrell [FREE DOWNLOAD]

About the release: Now available for free download is the first single from Breez Evahflowin's upcoming album "Breez Deez Treez" to be released this Summer on Domination Recordings. Breez Evahflowin a founding member of the Stronghold underground rap collective, emerged as a leading force in the New York and national battle rap scenes during the late '90s and has gone on to work with some of the illest artists in the underground hip hop scene (including Vast Aire, Slug, Chali 2na & The Molemen). The exclusive single "Over" is produced by Dave "Daveytree" Archuletta and features guest lyrics from Harlem's very own Swave Sevah, named by The Source Magazine as "Best Unsigned Hype" of 2008.

About: Swave Sevah aka Swavy Krokett aka The Spitist, aka Anakyn Highwalker. Call him what you want, but once you hear this NYC native's unmistakable baritone and clever verses, you won't forget him. Born and raised in Harlem, Swave started spitting rhymes at the age of 9. He studied martial arts and earned black belts in Tae Kwon Do and Shotokan. As a young man, he dreamed of someday making it to the NBA, but that faded as his passion and talent for music grew. "Hip hop swallowed me whole," he says. Now Swave is one-third of the hip-hop group CVEES, who released their debut single "The Jump Off" in July of 2003. He also is a member of the underground wrecking crew Stronghold. Swave's gravelly freestyling won the world famous End of the Weak MC Challenge ..20, and along with rap partner-in-crime IkeP, Swave won the spitboxing tag-team battle at Club Pyramid. In 2005, he toured the United States with J Live, C-Rayz Walz and Vast Aire on the Best Damn Rap Tour. He also recently has been touring the world with Immortal Technique. 2008 was a big year for Swave after dropping high profile appearances on Vast Aire's "Duece's Wild", and Immortal Technique's "The Third World", he was crowned the Unisigned Hype from The Source magazine. With his ONG BOK and So Harlem mixtapes flooding the streets, the world will finally be ready for his solo debut "Hell Up In Harlem" produced in enitirely by Drum & Knowledge of Parallel Thought.

About: Shaneeka Harrell (Singer + Dancer) is a native of Miami, FL. where she attended New World School of the Arts. She continued her training at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, receiving an apprenticeship with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Co. in her final year. Shortly after completing her studies in 2001, she joined Jawole Willa Jo Zollar’s Urban Bush Women. After four seasons as a featured performer with Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company, Ms. Harrell is now focusing on her own work as an independent artist and has recently been named Choreographer in Residence at Bates College. "I give thanks for the blessing and grace to partake in the journey."

thank you mr. and mrs. DJ in every college with a radio station for the support on the Troublemakers LP so far. Thank you mr. and mrs. Blogger as well for helping us spread the word and the promo jams your support has been amazing. We've been going at this about as independent as it gets, "hollywood shuffle style" for my trueschoolers out there. Bout to start callin' in favors and actually call some people back. The most encouraging thing about this all so far is that most of this support is from the youth. I say this because we're grown men tryin' to make grown man music. I myself am at a place in my life where I find it harder and harder to find age-appropriate hip hop. So we set out to make an album for the "I don't listen to hip hop anymore" crowd. A legitimate genre of music should not be limited to an age range. Both Dutch and I have nothing to 'keep up with' except to continue to make music because that makes us what we are. I'd like to invite you all to check out more tracks at myspace.com/tmakers

with respect,
Breez

here are some of the reviews so far-


THE TROUBLE MAKERS INTEND TO RESSURECT HIP HOP
"What makes a record stand out? Usually it's the beats or rhymes that the producer and emcee respectively created, but sometimes a producer and emcee combine together and deliver an album, the type of record rappers are rarely known for. Perhaps it's because rappers don't do entire albums with one beat maker or maybe it's just because rap today has become a land of club singles and ring tones.

Whatever it is, Breez Evahflowin and Dirt E. Dutch have combined to form Troublemakers and if their self-titled first effort is any indication, they intend to cause even more problems for an industry that is already in trouble.

Knowing little about producer Dirt E. Dutch, his style is reminiscent of an era of classic producers utilizing drums that knock and samples that any good crate digger would be remiss not to add to his list of records to look for.

The rhyming half of Troublemakers, Breez Evahflowin, has been a staple of the NY underground for years as both a solo emcee and member of the unbeatable – and missing in action – collective Stronghold. Probably better known for guest verses and a 12-inch or two, here we get to finally see Breez stretch out and try some different styles and really show us why he hasn't given up on a career in this crazy industry: dude has skills.

Attacking the industry and those who challenge hip-hop's relevancy on "No Room for Growth," we see Breez team up with L.I.F.E. Long. The two emcees' chemistry is perfect and rather than it feeling like a competition of who can spit harder, it feels more natural and they try to build off each other.

Throughout the record, Dutch splices in audio clips from, I'm assuming, a combination of films, TV shows and records. These audio clips add to the content of Breez's rhymes and make it feel like a cohesive set of tracks rather than 12 random songs.

This album will satisfy that desire for some banging hip-hop while we wait for the industry to get back in gear and deliver some heat but, unfortunately, it may get forgotten by the end of 2008, and that would be a shame. Do what you have to to find this project, if for no other reason than to hear one emcee and one producer rock together in the vein of that traditional hip-hop sound."

Breez Evahflowin and Dirt E. Dutch "Troublemakers"
"This duo bring more of a boom bap hip-hop style that really sounds good coming through the speakers. Lots of pop culture sound samples mixed in between tracks. Bangin'!"
-CJAM MUSIC REVIEW


"I haven't heard from this guy in a while, but I'm glad he's back! The ever talented Breez Evahflowin' has teamed up with producer Dirt E. Dutch to deliver (at least to my knowledge) the first new music from Breez in years! The CD, which isn't available in most stores, is another classic example of a sleeper. Virtually no promotion or marketing behind this, but the final product is dope. Check it out."
