Click here to make your own!"The Truth of Art Rests in the Struggle to Produce it"NEFEW, New Education From Every Word, stands for authentic rap music strongly sticking to the fundamentals of hip hop.NEFEW, New Education from Every WordIf you thought there was no authentic and native english Rapmusic with an international potential in Switzerland, think AGAIN!From a small town in the north of Switzerland comes a rap collect that is about to reveal its talents to the world. NEFEW incorporates rapper Polemikk (Lyrics, Production) and Producer PA-Double (DJ, Production). Theyve been involved with hip hop since 1991, at the early age of 12 years. Unlike many, they've made their first contact with hip hop through b-boying and graffiti and moved over to rapping and producing two years later, still trying to integrate all elements of the culture into their endeavors. In 1999 they released their first vinyl-EP called Lyrical Quarrel, of which they sold over a thousand copies in Switzerland only. After having contributed to different international projects, theyve released their second EP in 2003 entitled Pieces of Forsaken Times, of which they sold over 4000 copies in Switzerland, Germany, France and the US. Both releases had been put out independently under their own temporary label Out Of Frame Records, followed by other international works on mixtapes and compilations. In 2005, Polemikk and PA-Double decided to take their work to another level by working on their first album, which they finished within 10 months, currently holding 20 tracks.Nefew is often compared to artists such as Little Brother, Talib Kweli, Ken Starr and Pete Rock by many of their reviewers. With their dynamic solo performances on stage and alongside artists such as Dead Prez, Timbo King (Wu-Tang), the Digable Planets, the Pharcyde and the Expansion Team , theyre able to fascinate all of their spectators. Their music ranges from Neo Soul to up-to-date hip hop with soulful elements and a positive lyrical content. For their first album, Nefew collaborated with US artists such as Boston MC Insight, radio hosts B. McLean and P. Rainyn and Jazz singer Daniela Sarda. Polemikk and PA-Double both see themselves as representatives of authentic rap music and a strong hip hop ethic, sticking to the real fundamentals of the culture. As a lyricist and a slam-poet, it has always been Polemikks ambition to put content above fashion and trends, convincing his audience with a huge lyrical and intellectual capacity that produces simplicity at the same time. At this day, he has proven to be a native English rapper capable of keeping up with the big names in the industry.Due to the fact that they do not have the resources to release a global project completely on their own, NEFEW is currently looking for labels to support them on their path.
