Quad Almighty & The Powers That Be to Perform at The Legendary Bowery Poetry Club
April 29th , 2008
Quad Almighty and The Powers That Be Performing Live at Bowery Poetry Club NYC
Revolutionary Hip-Hop/Jazz Ensemble to perform songs from latest E.P., The Quad Almighty E.P.
New York, NY – Quad Almighty and The Powers That Be today announced that they will be performing at Bowery Poetry Club on April 29th. The performance will include tracks from the recently released Quad Almighty E.P. as well as some previously unreleased songs.
“I relish every opportunity to perform these songs because the subject matter is so relevant to things that are happening globally, as well as the struggles of everyday life.” said Quad Almighty. “For those of us who grew up as hip hop was making the transition from basement parties to corporate boardrooms, the current commercialization of hip-hop is a mockery of a movement that we feel obligated to carry on. The Quad Almighty E.P., a tribute to hip hop before the introduction of intrusive corporate interests, elucidates the struggles of the have-nots and outsiders.”
Quad Almighty burst onto the Midwest's hip hop scene in 1998, as a member of the hip hop group H.A.Z. (Hungry and Zooted). "Hungry for change but Zooted with contentment," is a slogan the group members used to describe their social disposition. Production on this new project, The Quad Almighty E.P., is attributed to Finsta - Brooklyn's own native son and one half of the hip hop duo Finsta & Bundy. The Quad Almighty E.P. has songs that rock, smooth songs, songs that make you think and songs that will make you dance; it contains nearly every feeling that music can evoke in a person. The Quad Almighty E.P. seeks to remind audiences of everything that made them fall in love with hip-hop music.

New York, New York- Over the past decade, while major record labelshave seen sales consistently decline, Quad Almighty- formerly of theMilwaukee, Wisconsin based hip hop group H.A.Z.- has been quietlysetting the underground music scene ablaze.With the highly anticipated spring 08' release of, The RoyalParchment: The Indoktrination of Dynastik Rationalizm in view; TheQuad Almighty E.P, his first E.P. as a solo artist, presents a hip hopamalgamation of socially relevant subject matter and razor sharpsatire, told through the lyrics of one of the Midwest's' most talentedyoung emcees."On this project I tried to create an accurate snapshot of the seriousand sometimes absurd issues we face today," Quad Almighty said. "Thereare tracks that many [hip –hop] head's can definitely relate to andother songs that are bit more academic; touching on thought provokingthemes that are rarely explored. Not to mention the production isinsane, with beats that can make a seamless transition from the club,to the car, to your ipod earphones…"Quad Almighty burst onto the Midwest's hip hop scene in 1998, as amember of the hip hop group H.A.Z. (Hungry and Zooted). "Hungry forchange but Zooted with contentment," is a slogan the group membersused to describe their social disposition. After establishing areputation for their searing social commentaries, unrelenting lyricalagility, and energetic live performances, H.A.Z. rewarded their loyalfan base with the 2001 release of their debut E.P. entitled OralElations. H.A.Z. followed Oral Elations with the 2002 self-titled L.P.Hungry and Zooted; both albums were released by the independent B-BoyUniversal record label. Following the modest success of Hungry andZooted, Quad Almighty began to work with various hip hop acts toincrease his national exposure and develop as a solo artist. Theseacts include Taste Emcees, Growing Nation, Finsta & Bundy, and BlackElephant.The Quad Almighty E.P.'s production is done by Finsta, Brooklyn's ownnative son and one half of the hip hop duo Finsta & Bundy. It giveship hop aficionados a "taste-test" of The Royal Parchment: TheIndoktrination of Dynastik Rationalizm. The E.P. is extremely listenerfriendly and reminds audiences of everything that made them fall inlove with hip-hop music.For more info go to: www.quadalmighty.com for booking inquiries email:quad@quadalmighty.com
