ELISION the KIDD/DEFINITION/MONSTER, aka Eli Fowler, as been performing as an artistic entity on the underground hip hop scene for nearly a decade. Starting out as a young emcee in his rural hometown of Redway, CA (one of the southernmost cities in California’s famed Humboldt County), his talents were quickly recognized by the then bubbling group apptly titled the HUMBOLDT COUNTY FREESTLY KINGS. Opening for acts such as FISHBONE, the GHETTO YOUTH CREW, ANTHONY B. & BONE THUGS amongst others, the then "Freestyle Prince" was easily noticed from a crowd perspective : his young, boyish looks and off-the-top wit caught the crowds eye quickly, while his flow and lyrical content kept thier attention. The FREESTYLE KINGS would go on perform at the legendary reggae music festival REGGAE ON THE RIVER in 2001, becoming the first hip hop group to ever take the stage, while ELISION would be remembered as the youngest performer, only 16, to rock that particular crowd. The KINGS eventually disbanded, but Eli kept in close touch with the other band members and, at the age of 17, he began recording with keyboardist / producer B. SWIZLO and emcee GARTH VADER on the album HURRICANE HUDSON : TWISTED. Quickly thereafter, ELISION was hard on the grind, working on his debut solo album, CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION, and concocting his recipe to build the hip hop supergroup SUBLIMINAL SABOTAGE along with emcee’s MIKASUN and MCP, and producer / percussionist GALEN DAVIS. Today the movement is in full swing : SUBLIMINAL SABOTAGE has been playing consecutive show’s all over Humboldt County and in 2006, SUB SAB helped ELISION to once again take the stage at REGGAE ON THE RIVER. Plus, with the support of all his fans, friends and family, CHAPTER 1 : INTRODUCTION has become a staple in Humboldt County hip hop with the singles "HUMBOLDT RIDERS" and "FADE AWAY", paving the way for MIKASUN’s debut album STRATEGIC VISION (2007), MCP’s debut album IM IN LOVE WITH DEATH and, of course, the long awaited SUBLIMINAL SABOTAGE LP.
