Artist history:Formed in 2006 by Jae Black & Silex
After the split from the super group "Illasonz" we felt we had to
start with a clean sheet to show people that it is possible
to be succesful after parting ways with an established name.
Since then we've landed a clothing deal with Playerz69, recorded our Mixtape,and did shows all over europe. And now the time has come for Full Clip to "Run Up" and get that paper.. So lace up your boots and let us guide you trough the streets of The Rotterdam Docks.Group members:Jae Black: "Yo im a triple treath, the 1 in the steets, the 1 in ya crib, the 1 in the booth "
Born in Rotterdam in a household where at a young age he had to find out
what is was like to stand on his own 2 feet.
He started rapping at the age of 12 and most of his lyrics reflect on the
time he was out in
The streets doing what he had to do just to get by.
In the year 2000 he got together with Seventh Son to start the group
Illasonz.
Attending workshops, performing at events such as Mr. Zap city, various rap
contests and open mics
The rap duo created a buzz in the local underground rap scene.
Influenced by artists like Onyx, Mobb Deep, Nas, Wu-Tang Run Dmc, and Busta
Rhymes.
Jae Black feels rap is his way of being the voice of reason when people
don't want to hear
What is going on today.Silex: "I Neva write what I spit cuz in my time I'm like PAC coming back as
notorious B.I.G."Born in Rotterdam to a father who was a DJ and a mother who was a teacher
Silex was raised with an ear for music as well as the ability to be
creative with words.
Started rapping at the age of 9 by memorizing the lyrics written by his
brother, but
It wasn't until the age of 17 that he began writing his own lyrics and that
resulted in
A feature appearance on Khamissa's cover version of Roxette's "It must have
been love".
Single and video clip received play on MTV, TMF as well as The Box.
Silex has been exposed to large crowds by performing on events for
Hitkrant, Radio 538,
TMF Showcase and as an opening act for DMX.
Silex joined the Rap group Illasonz in 2001 and with the Release of the
self titled EP "ILLASONZ"
They were the first unsigned group who made it possible for artists to have
their cd sold in Velvet music store.
Influenced by artists like 2Pac, Nas, DMX, The Lox and Jim Jones.
Silex feels that Rap is about reaching people
"It doesn't take much for somebody to feel you. I just want people to know
That my life isn't so different from yours."Releases:Illasonz: EP
