What do you get when Hip-Hop, reggae and a little old school music meet and get infused a lot of R&B Soul? What do you get when the line between lyrics and pure poetry becomes so blurred that you get engulfed in a sea of pure musical passion and energy. What do you get when intelligence and sensuality flow together to embrace you in absolute musical and lyrical excellence and transports you to a place in which there is nothing at that very moment but you and the music? YOU GET ART. YOU GET EXPRESSION. YOU GET PASSION. YOU GET STRENGTH. YOU GET CRE8IVEFREEDOM.
