Purpose- Analyze This
TANK aka Jason Lipp began spittin back in the late 80's...Really the hip hop vibe might be said to have been born in him, as he was the dude breakdancing at the kindergarten recital when everyone else was doin somethin else. You could call that hammin up the spot or jus plain ol releasin energy.. Prolly, it's a combination of both that could predict future events. Spittin his way thru cafeteria lines, cafeteria courtyards, English classes, gym classes, science and math classes, TANK LIPP brought hip hop and rap to the high school arena early on. Shortly after the times when he was breakdancin up homecoming dances handin the DJ copies of CRAIG MACKs flava in YA EAR, and spreadin the sounds of MOBB DEEP's Shook Ones thru the hallways of Oviedo High School- TANK aka JASON LIPP- neighborhood knapsacker set up shop to spread his own flava in peoples ears..After recordin his first joints at the age of 13 with Omar Radwan and Fred Hamilton, TANK LIPP put notice out on the streets that he was serious about trying to do this rap thing. In 1997, after polishin up the craft, and maturing wiser in age- TANK LIPP and OMAR RADWAN ( back then- PHAROAH MAGNETIC) linked up with SUPER SCIENTIFIC aka DANNY D. (who is known today as UNKNOWN SUSPECT).. The three dabbled into there explorations on the techniques 1200 and triton keyboards- each finding a niche that they would later contribute to the group.. The three linked up with other emcees FARENHEIGHT and TONY MILLZ ( now TONE DA REFEREE) - forming a group back then known as TEAM EXTRAVAGANT aka TEAM ELEMENTAL aka FIFTH BREED ( which is now reffered to today as (the CALICO SILO).....TEAM EXTRAVAGANT was an immense concoction of raw talent and energy, whom spent cipher pon cipher strengthening skills day n day out, night afta night.//From rockin porches to libraries, school buses and parties, hallways, bathrooms, closets( literally to enhance mic sounds when recordin), smoked out cars, fields and meadows, beaches, the ciphas reigned hott and magnetic always. In fact, there was soo much energy surroundin this group that it was just assumed that after high school an album was gonna be put out, and just a matter of when..Well, 'when', somehow dissipated, and people moved on to different jobs and work and school, and business ventures and a strong fan base in '98 of local oviedo and orlando heads dissipated as they grew into a group that seemed like it might never reunite...The love for hip hop neva died, but the act of makin music temporarily ceased.....With the acception of freestyles TEAM EXTRAVAGANT stopped puttin out mixtapes and rockin the recordin aspects..In 2003, TANK LIPP and OMAR THE RADWAN aka ( DJ 4th Dynasty aka PHAROAH MAGNETIC established new quarters for the ol TEAM to reunite as the CALICO SILO in ( THE CALICO SILO)..Calico SILO was the name given to the studio rebirthed in 2003..The talents joinin in the festivities were TANK aka JASON LIPP, OMAR THE RADWAN aka DJ 4th DYNASTY,TONY MILLZ aka (TONE DA REFEREE) and WARREN ELLIOT.. EGGED ON by fan members such as EWDEGE STEPLORD aka MIKE EVANS and LOU 'ROCK' - the SILO pumped out an EP/ MIXTAPE sort of GIG. It neva was formally pushed into the public, but the select people that it was passed around to got outstanding reviews....From the ill cuts, to the selection of beats spit on, to the mastery of the rhymes, to the stepping up of new productions on the tritons etc.-it seemed like the raw talent was still there...The team just needed the time to be alloted and with everyones schedules and separate lives being led, a dope revival of an ol school dope HIP HOP movement -TEAM EXTRAVAGANT - was progressively dissipating again...In October of 2003 TANK LIPP lost his father, and the SILO known AS CALICO SILO temporarily shut down.....The spirit of TANKs' dad was moving TANK and 'O, but between grief and movin on and living life there still seemed like little time to make any dreams happen..The dreams were still there and the talks between em were inspirational and motivational..'O set out for a lil hiyadus in Egypt and when he returned TANK LIPP and OMAR 4th DYNASTY RADWAN, teamed back up with SUPER SCIENTIFIC aka UNKNOWN SUSPECT and went to town on the debut TANK album REINCARNATED which was released last APRIL 2007.. That was a meaninful rebirth on many different avenues for all three of us...The album was a very personal debut TANK album that just happened to feature a great amount of contribution from two of the original members of TEAM EXTRAVAGANT- OMAR THE RADWAN and UNKNOWN SUSPECT..The concept was to show that no matter wut struggles life hands you, that there is always a reason to keep pushin thru, whether it's losing your dad in TAKE ME TO MY DAD, or realizing that there are plenty of fish in the sea after a bad breakup in WHORE, or that every day on earth is a gift and blessing we must cherish in TODAYS A GIFT, or just to hang tough and not give up when running in circles with the same problems in RUNNING IN PLACE..Due to the personal and highly emotional at some points -content of the debut of the REINCARNATED album it was probably a little difficult for people to feel the total energy and fire in this dope TEAM EXTRAVAGANT hip hop movement renewed by TANK...Certainly, the deep insights and writing talents of TANK LIPP were appreciated regardless of the fact that it wasn't really an album packed with numerous BANGERS. The beats were hott too, but it lost some of it's HIP HOP banga swagga due to the somber moods of many of the tracks. Nonetheless it put TANK and crew back on the map, respected, and definately gave a chill supply of audio (13 tracks) fa people to sit back and ponder about life and decisions that are made and the consequences of those decisions- and ultimately that there is always a reason to push on-because what doesn't keep u down at the bottom, only makes u stronger when u rise back to the top... Instinctively realizing that REINCARNATED didn't completely captivate everything that TEAM EXTRAVAGANT always stood for over the years, including ill ass scratching, and more rugged hip hop tracks, the immediate release of REINCARNATED left TANK simultaneously back in the booth firin up new tracks...This time the goal was to simultaneously supply an answer to the 'HIP HOP IS DEAD MOVEMENT' that circulated around the nation instigated by artists such as NAS..The debate was heated and many sides, angles, and opinions to the debate were shared by a variety of well known industry artists-NAS, LUDACRIS etc... TANK had his views too, and invigorated with motivation to show OZONE and the rest of the world the natural HIP HOP fire in him, he didn't want to leave the status quo as personal from just REINCARNATED, but he wanted to embrace the status HEATED wit his own hip hop flare-from more hip hop sounding beats, doper hip hop punchlines, more raw flows and hooks, and tighter rhyme schemes combined with an ever progressive TANK sound which can only be understood if u listen to the distinctive voice that is TANK when he raps...There is a BIG POPPA swag to the voice, wit rhyme scheme mucho PUNN-IAN ( BIG PUN) lol, making TANK a pleasurable sound to underground and commercial listening ears. Unfortunately at the time of this albums recording and production phase the CALICO SILO didn't split apart in spirit and friendship, but in actual physical location-AGAIN. Omar moved back temporarily to the middle east getting high tech over in ABU DABI, and UNKNOWN SUSPECT moved out of ORLANDO and out of state to a location that needs to be left unknown :) ..( yeah that's right the beats to hott and u will want to jack him for the production-so the location can't be disclosed :) ..So the goals of giving the project that TEAM EXTRAVAGANT sound with the ill nasty cuts and scratches wasn't possible...Instead of trying to shop a style that we could distinctively create on our own-with our own scratches, there is minimal scratches on this album..Sorry to disaapoint...W- Shop: odax

Thee Adventures of a B-Boy D-Boy
Muja Messiah- Thee Adventures Of A B-Boy D-Boy A veteran of Minneapolis underground Hip-Hop scene, Muja Messiah, debut full-length album, Thee Adventures of a B-Boy D-Boy. The Minneapolis based MC is know for his politically incorrect satire as he combines serious issues along with comedy and street anthems that attract the 'thinking wo/man' to his sound. With politically charged subject matter like the powerful anti-Bush song, "Patriot Act," featuring I-Self Devine and "Give It Up," featuring Black Thought of The Roots, Messiah is lyrically bursting of passion and his message is stronger than ever! Thee Adventures of a B-Boy D-Boy was originally slated to be called Niggativity when the process started in 2006. After working with Che Vicious (Dr.Dre/Eminen) in Los Angeles during the spring of 2007 and with advice from Slug and I-Self Devine, Muja Messiah was out to make a classic album that represented Minneapolis' harder side. The concept and ideas for the album evolved and Messiah dropped the name Niggitivity, and recorded a fresh batch of songs including bangers-"You Betcha," "Never Be Broke Again," and "Pretty Gurl." Working with longtime producer Doc (Esthero/RES/Young Buck) on the emotional "Growing Pains" Muja shows a vulnerable side as he navigates his life story in three parts. Muja Messiah teams up with fellow Twin Cities artist Slug (Atmosphere) on the introspective "What's This World Coming To?", Black Blondie's' Samahra on the Prince inspired "Beautiful" and rising Reggeaton star Maria Isa and Muja connect on the throwback " Royalty" Creating a narrative based off a generation raised strictly on hip-hop and it's cousin the street drug culture, the album weaves through daily battles and triumphs of a B-Boy/D-Boy. Recognizing the anger, struggle and observations of social awareness, coming of age stories and tales of Minneapolis and it's unique culture-clash. As a preview for the album Messiah released a mixtape in March of 2008 titled MPLS Massacre Vol. 1. With it's hardcore/aggressive tracks including internet favorites-"Amy Winehouse," a remix of M.I.A.'s "Paper Planes" featuring M.anifest, "O'Silly Me," featuring Slug and the conspiratorial "True Lies". The mixtape has received enthusiastic reviews and comments from local and national press resources. Muja Messiah is also linked with the notorious Raw Villa crew- a hard knock Hip-Hop crew that released the Rebellion E.P ( Black Corners) in 2000 which was followed by Muja Messiah's solo E.P. Wutz Goin' Down!!!? (Black Corners) in 2001. He's shared stages with The Roots, Slick Rick, Dead Prez, Common, Ghostface Killah, Rakim, De La Soul, Grandmaster Flash, KRS-One, Redman, 50-Cent, Atmosphere, J*Davey, Camp Lo, Slum Village and The Cool Kids. He's also preformed at CMJ, Soundset '08, Yo! The Movement-Celebration of Hip-Hop, Twin Cities Hip-Hop Awards, Minnesota Music Awards and the Toronto Urban Music Festival. Muja Messiah can be heard on Atmosphere's Strickly Leakage on "Crewed Up," URB Magazine's Next 1000 with the track "Beautiful" featuring Samahra (Black Blondie) and Vibe's 51 Best Myspace Rappers. Muja Messiah's debut Thee Adventures Of A B-Boy D-Boy (Black Corners) features Black Thought (The Roots), I-Self Devine, Slug (Atmosphere), Nikki Jean, Samahra (Black Blondie) and Maria Isa. Production by Che Vicious (Eminem, Nas, L.Hill), BeanOne (DeLa Soul,One Be Lo), Martin 'Doc' McKinney (Esthero,Young Buck) and Malik Worthy (Esthero, K-os).- Shop: odax

Unnoticed
Fans of early Posies, harmony-ridden, acoustic-driven pure pop, REJOICE! It's hard to find a band that better epitomizes what why so many folks fell so hard for The Posies during their 'Failure' and 'Dear 23' period (those Hollies-esque harmonies!) than Jesse Sprinkle's 'Unnoticed'. Fans of Michael Penn, Neil Finn, Ice Cream Hands and the those rare moments when Elliot Smith made happy pop music are going to, simply, be smitten and fall hard for this one. Sprinkle used to be in the band Poor Old Lu, who released some legendary, but hard to find albums in the 90's. Soaring open chorded strums and blended vocals fulfill the connection to all the aforementioned bands. Crisp guitar lines and rich, soothing vocals urge the complete success of this project clearly into focus, opening up fresh pop vistas of effortless strumming and lovely melodies. IT does not get much better than this for fans of acoustically, chiming, ringing power pop than this. Lyrically rich, the songs rely on sugar-sweet harmonies on every second of this CD. Extremely Highly Recommended! Jesse, a Seattle Washington native was thrust into the music industry over a decade ago as the drummer for the legendary underground group Poor Old Lu. And since they disbanded in 1996 he has managed to stay busy as a drummer, songwriter, and recording engineer. Jesse is currently residing in the majestic village of Dansville New York, where he owns and operates the illuminata recording company, engineering, producing, photographing, and designing for all sorts of musical outfits.You might have also heard jesse performing and or recording with the following artists: dead poetic - demon hunter - serene UK - paloma - robert deeble - annie quick - starflyer 59 - kutless, paul wright, michael knott, etc... dead poetic and demon hunter can both be seen on mtv's head bangers ball and extreme rock shows.- Shop: odax

Hyprhythmic
Review: Taxi Review of Debut Single 'HYPRHYTHMIC' Taxi - August 15, 2006 'I love having to critique songs like this. It has a unique twist to it. All tho it can somewhat remind one of an artist like R Kelly or Sisqo, the beats are a little more rugged and street then what they were doing. Meech voice is great, and he knows how to keep a good tone. The chorus for the song is strong and vocally Meech is great. Production wise the song is great. Keep the good music coming' The melody had good music in verses, and in choruses. The structure is well written and has good sectional contrast. The lyrics are cohesive, exhibit a good use of imagery, communicates emotion to listener, and the vocal does help to sell the song. Meech 'definitely knows when to bring hook/chorus in.' Meech Cannon Bio: Meech Canon's debut CD, HYPRHYTHMIC (Hip rea da mick), is jam-packed with hardcore beats that get 'cha right in the chest as well as a rugged-yet-smooth vocal delivery. While HYPRHYTHMIC blazes on the cutting edge of the hottest in urban music today, Meech Cannon also pulls personal influence from the early legends of soul. His club bangers will leave DJs and their patrons thoroughly satisfied and his slow jams will have women screaming for more. Born in Chicago, Meech came from musical parents, blues artists who were popular in the South and toured extensively until they settled down to raise nine children. This environment provided the emotional and artistic spark which galvanized Meech with the drive and talent he would later unleash within his own career. With looks to match his vocal chops, he has even landed film roles in The Fugitive and Save the Last Dance, quite an accolade for an up-and-coming R&B artist. Clearly, Meech's talents are broad and far-reaching. Influenced by the likes of many R&B and Hip Hop artists, both old and new, he creates his own style by fusing together the smoothness of R&B, and the depths of Soul pulverized in Hip Hop, better known as HYPRHYTHMIC. His character displays the multifaceted style of his artistry. He sings R&B, he sings Soul, he sings Hip Hop, he raps and he croons. His style is unique in that he has found a way to incorporate the many dimensions of his soul through his lyrics in HYPRHYTHMIC. This is his genre of music. It fills his soul and allows him to display the depths and totality of his talent. It shows the sexy, and sensual, the sensitive and debonair and, the playful, rough edge of Meech Cannon. HYPRHYTHMIC blends all the many faces of Meech into one. His charismatic presence is guaranteed to touch your soul. Meech describes HYPRHYTHMIC (Hip rea tha mick) as the smooth sound of R&B with a twist of Hip Hop. It's that sound that draws you to the beat, and the rhythm that makes you wanna shake a tale feather, with a heart stopping 808 bass, sensual R&B flows and eight bars spitting, hitting, you know the rest The song HYPRHYTHMIC is an up-tempo club banger about the unity among entertainers geographically. It's about showing love', says Meech. He embraces his feel and love for music in the song titled Soul, It speaks about the universal language of music. To Meech, Soul is universal, because there is no discrimination in the feel of music, it's all one love. One of his favorite R&B songs is I'm in Love. Ask Meech what he wants people to hear when they listen to I'm in Love. He answers, it's truly an honor to be in love and find that someone who fills your life. In the end it's what everyone is looking for. Meech wrote a song for his mother Rosemary, who died while his was working on his project. He wrote the song to show the love and appreciation for his mom. He wanted a legacy to show that her love would never be forgotten. He dedicated his album in her honor. Propaganda is more than just a song to vibe on. It speaks on world issues today. The lyrically honest views uninhibited by the influences of society are filled with Meech,s view of the current state of the world, which he isn,t afraid to share. Pure sensuality and sexy appeal are wrapped into the lyrics and feel of Get Down, Ride, and Ooh Baby. These songs are entertaining at best. His sensitivity can be heard in songs like Infidelity and Try Love Again. The songs speak of the many challenges of relationships. His playful, rough edge can be heard in Hellah Crackin, Hot, and Buck Wyle. These tracks are destined to get the party started. Full of 808s, hot beats and dynamic lyrics, they are sure to make a mark in the entertainment world.- Shop: odax
