Sum & Belief are "The Lone Wolf"

Imagine a creature built from the fabric of the blues, but given life through hip-hop. Envision a being inspired by the immortal storytellers and the undying legends of all corners of music. Picture that creature being equal parts Southern MC and West Coast producer… then throw in a hodge-podge of folktales, raw lyrics, lush beats, harmonica, whistles, scat, humming, shakes, snaps and anything that can be mustered to tell the story. If you can see it, you have The Lone Wolf in your sights.The Lone Wolf is the alliance of seasoned beat-smith Belief and rising creative powerhouse Sum Majere, both of whom have built solid reputations worldwide for innovative spins on a genre widely considered “dead”. Belief’s 2006 debut LP “Dedication” launched him into the arena of producers in high-demand to rave reviews, after over a decade spent crafting his impressive resume of production credits. Jean Grae, El-P, and A.G. list among the indie-rap elite that have been laced by the L.A.-raised, NY-based beat craftsman. The visionary LP featured a ‘revolving door’ cast of MCs, including Murs, Vordul Megallah, Wordsworth and C-Rayz Walz. His sound became an unmistakable stew of soul, electro and New York grit, giving him a standout status on any project he put his touch on. Meanwhile, Sum lurked under the radar in NYC for years, building a ravenously loyal cult following with the self-released “BatMilk” EP in 2005 and following up with his debut LP “The Lil Folk”, both of which cemented him as not only a mammoth lyricist, but an inventive writer with endless potential. The heartfelt imagery, myriad deliveries and many voices of Sum came to a head with the 2006 preview of his groundbreaking Graphic Album, “The Nobody Hole”. The Lone Wolf’s chemistry was undeniable in 2003, when they recorded the hallmark song “September”, which marked the beginning of Sum’s career as a songwriter, and not just an MC. The Lone Wolf began immediate work on a project which took every bit of four years to simmer to perfection.Now, with an EP breaking rules on the directions music can take, The Lone Wolf’s self-titled first project is finally ready to take flight. From the eerie tales of slavery and love lost on “Breakfast on the Moon”, to the soon-to-be-classic zen haiku of “Sweet Potato Pie”, Sum and Belief explore dusty corners of the hip-hop psyche with a relentless soul-bearing ethic. The project dares the listener to pull up a chair on the porch, pour a tall glass of lemonade and watch real-life roll out in front of them like a walk on the countryside. Personable, down-to-earth and imaginative beyond compare, The Lone Wolf offers the simple promise of something brand new with a comfortable twist. To shake up words from the great Muddy Waters, the blues and hip-hop had a baby, and named it The Lone Wolf.For Press Inquiries Contact James at Dunn Deal PR: (310)666.5336 / [email protected] / www.dunndealpr.com General Info: [email protected] Edited by MPS MySpace Editor 2.0
