| Info: | Friday, January 13th. 2006 Kapacity Entertainment presents C-RAYZ WALZ. NYC Definitive Jux Records - [ crayzwalz.com ] As one of the original members of the infamous rap crew Stronghold, C Rayz Walz has been a fixture in the New York hip-hop scene for years. He hosts tons of hip-hop shows and events, and has more charisma and energy than most rappers can dream of. But that doesn't mean he's not serious: he's battled and beaten the top battle emcees in the world (including freestyle legend Supernatural), dropped singles that consistently make noise on the Billboard charts, has had a video in rotation on BET and started his own label, Sun Cycle Records. Hand picked by Wu-Tang OG Raekwon to open for him on his last tour, this album finds C-Rayz coming full circle, burning all of his old rhyme books and creating his sophomore full length on Definitive Jux from scratch after months of seclusion. The Album entitled "Year Of The Beast" (out on May 17th on Definitive Jux) include guest appearances by El-P, M-1 of Dead Prez, Jean Grae, Vordul Mega of Cannibal Ox, Aesop Rock, Rob Sonic; the evolution of the beast is now complete; here's a quick glimpse on how it came about: Releases an unprecedented 20 singles thru various independent labels distributed by Fat Beats including "It's A Wrap" (Sub-Verse) which breaks the billboard top 100 Hip Hop Charts with a debut at #61. Recognized as the only three time EOW emcee challenge freestyle champion crushing the competition three years in a row challengers included Jin, Breeze (Stronghold member), Immortal Technique, etc. Banned from competing in the Blaze Battle for defeating all contestants in past battles. Releases three independent albums on his own Sun Cycle Records label: 1. "The Prelude"- C-Rayz first full length album with production by Plain Pat (Def Jam) and Emile (Ghostface). 2. "Singular Plurals"- a compilation of his greatest singles to date featuring Can Ox, Aesop Rock, The Molemen, Breeze Evahflowin, Akrobatik, etc. 3. "Limelight" his most underrated hard to find work to date featuring Academy Award Winner Adrian Brody dba A Ranger, Wordsworth, Ryan Perfect, M-1 from Dead Prez. Signs deal with producer and label owner EL-P with Definitive Jux releases his first major worldwide distributed record entitled "Ravipops" 20,000 sold and counting. Over 200 live shows since the release of "Ravipops" in the US , Europe and South America on stage with Miri Ben-Ari , Raekwon the Chef, El-P, RJD2, Mos Def, Aesop Rock, The Pharcyde, People Under the Stairs, Atmosphere, Mr. Cheeks, De La Soul, Perceptionist, Slick Rick, Doug E Fresh, Pete Rock, and even Insane Clown Posse. Finally in 2005 after a year and a half of seclusion and studying the art of war, C-Rayz burns his cherished collection of 20 rhyme books and listens to over 1000 beat submissions with only 15 making the cut; he puts together his follow up sophomore album on "Definitive Jux" entitled "YEAR OF THE BEAST" This is a long awaited debut performance for C-Rayz. R.A. THE RUGGED MAN - NYC Nature Sounds - [ ratheruggedman.com ] Despite a notorious reputation for pissing off executives, R.A. developed a musical resume over the next 10 years that speaks for itself. Working with everyone from Mobb Deep to Notorious B.I.G, as well as producers such as Erick Sermon, Trackmasters, DJ Quick, Alchemist, Havoc, Buckwild, and Ayatolah. Along with his numerous 12” singles and mix-tape appearances, he was also featured on many high-profile compilations, such as all three of the Rawkus Records Soundbombing albums. He recently signed a book deal with Testify Books, and his writing appears regularly in Vibe, King, Mass Appeal, and Rides. R.A. had accomplished all this without ever releasing an LP of his own. With the recent release of his debut album, "Die, Rugged Man, Die", his fans will finally get to see R.A.'s real-life struggles through his notoriously demented worldview. It's a long overdue chance to prove himself, not only for his outrageous antics, but also for a musical and lyrical genius that until now has been overshadowed by controversy and fear in the industry. With high praise for his new album from the likes of Rolling Stone and Vibe, plus his single “Lessons” hitting number 1 on U.S. college radio, things now seem to be going R.A.'s way. He's been constantly touring and ripping stages worldwide, welcome him back for our first show of 2006. DL INCOGNITO.
