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
