Click to zoom-in.We (Ujonc |Rookie|) and Saiid) started makin beats and writin rhymes more than a decade ago, back in 1996 under the name HTA (Higher Tone Alliance). First lyrics were in english, then after about a year, we chose to use our beloved mother tounge for rappin, so the group's name was finally changed to Akkezdet Phiai (Son's of Outset) in 1999. These were the times when the first tracks were put out as demos, tracks like Phasskivan, Tartsdmegatavot, Ujtanek that are now on the debut album, and some of them like Spangli Rabja and Ittvakeringye didn't make it, so those are only available in demo versions. These demos spread through the country quickly, and had radio play. Sometimes during this period, Streetnoyz Entertainment was founded by Fari and Saiid, which will bring a new line of hiphop into Hungary. The demos aired a lot on the famous Rocksteady Beat Show on EstFM Radio thanx to DJ Gyoremix!, then it quickly spread out in all different versions within the underground scene. As the music spread more performances followed, and next to small hiphop clubs in the country we also performed on big events in front of huge crowds. We opened for Rza, Masta Killa, and Tekitha on the Rza SHow in Budapest in 2001, had gigs on the biggest festival in Europe, Sziget since 2003, opened for De La Soul on the 2003 DMC World Championships in Budapest, and shared stage with Planet Asia, Declaime, Eric Sermon, AfuRa, Canibus, Psycho Realm, and several US artists. As the group became known for the unique and versatile lyrics we were requested to make the soundtrack for Adam Csaszi's "1 Het" (1 Week), which is a movie about one week of a gypsy struggling in the streets of Budapest, and which won the jury's award on the Amateur Movie Awards of Hungary in 2004, and the main track took the award for Best Soundtrack in 2004. The demo was so successful, that it was time to make a studio album, which includes most of the tracks appearing on the demos. This is how Akkezdet got into a connection with WacuumAirs label and CEO Bobakrome. After about 6 months in the studio perfecting the music, the debut album entitled Akkezdet was released on 10 April 2004. The album contains almost 80 minutes of music and was released under the first independent hiphop label in Hungary, WacuumAirs. This album was the first Hungarian hiphop album with a booklet containing all the lyrics on the cd. Tracks on Akkezdet were all produced by Saiid except for "Van Gond" (We have a problem) produced by Fari for Streetnoyz Ent., which has the imfamous hook with Hungarian comedist Geza Hofi's (RIP) words about politics, and poverty. The album was mastered by Bobakrome, the cover design with the robots was made by Digital Reality. Akkezdet LP was reviewed in several magazines and webpages, and most of the time it received 9 stars out of 10, was called and "instant classic", "a milestone in the Hungarian music scene", and "the first real Hungarian hiphop". Since then, the two emcees have also become known for their poetic sides, we've appeared on Slam Poetry nights and other cultural events together with the current writers and poets of Hungary. After years of touring and doing guest appearances on the albums of the most talented hiphop groups in Hungary, the group currently works on Ujonc's solo album and the second album, which will be a double LP. listen to the tracks peeps, and holla if u feel it!!! peace out
