Band Website: COMING SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!
Band Members: We consist of 3 different people, 3 different styles, and 3 different personalities. With that combination, you get L. Ement. First up, we have Fiziks who began as a solo artist. Next, we have Rashade (ra-shaw-dee) aka Young Shade (shaw-dee) who also began as a solo artist. Finally, there is RocRaid who is just beginning his career into music.
Influences: ROCRAID'S INFLUENCES:
2pac, Biggie, Snoop, Run DMC, and the King of Pop (MJ for those of you not up on ya game).
RASHADE'S LYRICAL INFLUENCES:
First and foremost Tupac Shakur (not 2pac cuz there is a difference) for his art of storytelling, The Notorios B.I.G. for his lyricism, T.I./Lil Wayne for their growth as artists and lyricist (from their first CD to the present), Lupe Fiasco for his insight, Jay-Z simply for his talent, and all the old school kats (KRS-One, Kool & The Gang, Run DMC, this list could go on forever) because with out the originators there are no authenticators (or duplicators for y'all biters out there....I KNOW WHO Y'ALL ARE)!!!!!!
RASHADE'S PRODUCER INFLUENCES:
I appreciate those who can tell a story with nothing but an instrumental like Dr. Dre, Just Blaze, and Kanye West. What got me started producing though is Timbaland and The Neptunes for their creativity but I love my downsouth cats too (The Runners, Cool and Dre, Mannie Fresh, again, I could go on for days). I'm the type that will listen to a beat to listen for a story and if I hear one, then ya lyrics damn sure better compliment dat shit cuz you could have the hottest beat in da world and not say a damn thing killing this thing we call MUSIC!!!!!!!!
FIZIK'S INFLUENCES:
The main objective of my belonging in the rap game is to supply the listeners with good, monumental music. Therefore, my main influence are my listeners; I feel obliged to supply them with real music. Artists that I currently respect and look up to include: Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, Jay-Z, Common, Camp Lo, Nas, KRS-1, Mos Def, Phonte, Talib Qweli, The Roots, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, Fabolous, Lil Wayne, 2pac, the Clipse, Big-L, Biggie, Young Jeezy, Outkast, and Juelz Santana. Of course, this is not my whole list. There are many other artists I can mention, but as of this moment, I feel like these artists are the most monumental in creating the style which I am currently portraying...
Sounds Like: There is no comparison. 3 different styles, 3 different sounds, gives you one great and extradinary group known as L. EMENT!!!!!!!
