Psykelectics
These boys went from 'copycats' to the real deal in jus a few years. Psykelectics biggest break was probably the Black Eye Peas : Rap For A Cause competition, which they won first. Since then, they have created a name for themselves in the local hiphop scene. Most of their tracks are produced by Gotbeats Foundation, mainly by the talented J'y'Reste and also by The F Word. Their songs like 'Poltergeist' and 'Foreign Films' are among the local's favourite and undeniably the few best songs the local hiphop scene have heard. Lyrically, these boys are lyricist at heart, and, trust me, u wont want to miss their showcase at Hiphop Hurray this weekend. This is also the first time the boys will be performing at the Waterfront, Esplanade. Show some love for them people!
XstatiX
Straight from the As.One Family contingent, Xstatix is one of the strongest crew in the local hiphop scene. These three lyricist were together since 5 years ago, and still making music staying true to hiphop. Xstatix was last seen at Totally Booked Geylang East library, and their performance was surpassingly excellent. A lot emcee/crews have tried to sound like them these days, but none can be compared to this pioneering crew. Their beats are mainly done by Gotbeats Foundation main man behind dope samples, The IZA. This is certainly an act not to be miss this weekend.
Velvet Groove
Velvet Groove's main man, Razil, has gone a long way and finally found his style in this crew. Velvet Groove made a huge impact at Platform 5 with a captivating performance and they were nominated the top 5 in the annual rap talent search. No doubt, Razil's silky smooth voice mixed wif Ollie's rap flows are a perfect combination. Their melodious and catchy Hiphop/R&B beats are mainly produced by Sazery and also by the multi talented Razil. Velvet Groove was last seen at Smashd, an event organised for The Straits Time pocket fund, and their set was splendid. If u like to party, then these boys are the one u're looking for. They are off the hook.
Sleeq
These two young gentlemen are not only charming wif their looks, but they are extremely talented. Alyph is the main man in the music production of Sleeq, under the monicker Magic Potion and it is, no doubt, making waves in the local hiphop scene. Syarif on the hand, recently joined the Singapore Teen Idol competition and he came in 2nd runner up, but he really has a great voice. On a personal note, they are cousin actually. Sleeq is definately one of the hiphop / r&b crew to look out for tis year, and u'll be dissapoined if u miss their set this weekend.
Nthral
Nthral's biggest break was probably when he won the 50 cent rap-alike competition held in 2003. Later he emerged again in the popular local hiphop talent search, Platform 4 in 2004 and he came in 2nd. But, he was one of the crowd's favourite at that time and his music were really² good. Nthral have not been performing for quite some time, due to tight schedule, but i bet alot of people out there are eagerly waiting for him to perform again. Hiphop Hurray this weekend is definately a big comeback for him, so show some love and catch this talented solo emcee in action.
Public Eyez
Wat more can i say? Public Eyez have the sickest flow among many crews in the local hiphop scene. These boys are among the pioneering acts still standing strong since 5 years ago with a single purpose, to entertain the audience. Songs like 'Futuristic' and 'Last Goodbye', which was sampled from the late Sudirman, are among the popular songs they have and are definately the local's favourtite. Most of their beats are produced by Ferkazz. They were last seen at Smashd, and their set was off the hook. U cannot miss them this weekend.
Psykelectics, Xstatix, Velvet Groove and me are performin on Saturday, 25th February. Sleeq, Nthral and Public Eyez will be performin on Sunday, 26th February. Both shows start at 7.30pm. Dont be late! U wont wanna miss a single thing. :)
