"Slimkid3's Cafe"


The new full-length album by Tre Hardson
IN STORES NOW

Pick it up at your local music store or download new tracks from iTunes or Karmadownload.com and support independent music today.
Jazzy, soulful and melodic, Tre Hardson has re-emerged onto the hip hop scene with a new band, a new album and a diverse musical soundscape all his own. Formerly Slimkid3 of the legendary L.A. hip hop group The Pharcyde (known for their innovative style, humorous and off-beat lyrical imagery, and infectious beats), Hardson is exploring the boundaries of hip hop as a solo artist, replacing the standard industry format of drum machines and sampled beats with live instrumentation--provided by his 5-piece band, Fuqawi-- and collaborations with some of music's most adventurous and expressive performers such as spoken-word artists Saul Williams and Gaknew of Fresh City, as well as MC Lyte, Chali 2na (Jurassic 5), Kim Hill (Black Eyed Peas) and N'Dea Davenport (Brand New Heavies) to name a few. His 2002 record, "Liberation," pushes these boundaries with Hardson's personal lyrical examination of life, love, personal evolution and music, while showcasing the well-crafted rhymes, thoughtful lyrics and rich vocal delivery that brought him acclaim with The Pharcyde. His latest full-length LP, "Slimkid3's Cafe," is in stores now.
"Knockin'" from "Slimkid3's Cafe" in stores and on iTunes now
