Hmm......... What can I say...... well.... this is what happens when two veteran musicians are born out of the tragically dying metal scene like butterflies emerging from cacoons. Two guys who were tired with the whole "band drama" and endless pursiut of "sucsess" and decided that music was more important then money and respect more important then "fame" and about out doing themselves not worying about comeups. "arent we all supposed to be musicians .......... not actors and pimps selling music like some cheap whore. fuck that.... my lyrical mistress demands only the most tender kisses and most certainly respect because without her I am nothing but a fat guy with a catchy sense of rhythm and a bunch of words that sound alike" said demented with a wild look in his eye 3/4 of the way thru a st ides and 4 cigarettes later.enough of the preach preach now for some back story.Rasheed.... being the master song writer he is, has always seen music as a way to express the unexplainable. His hypnotic rhythms, weather on mic, guitar or the more likely reason, a keyboard, and a stack of vinal you never thought of using, speak to the very essence of what being a dope hip hopper really means. This is probably due to his musical up bringing which was to say the least extremely eclectic. Whether it was listening to Chic Corea, or the Commodores, Jamiroquoi (which both he and Demented worship) , or Meshuggah, Rasheed has always drank deep from the musical cup, sucking all the marrow from the bone. This extremely diverse pallet has turned him into truly a production master and even though he is currently taking a crash course advanced lyrical doctorate his lyrics are comming along nicely and quickly. SICkEST BEATS EVER!!!!!!!!!Demented.... is just plain dope as hell, you never know what style he is going to shove in your face. But you would never know it by just meeting him "off the clock" he is commonly seen in retarted looking steve irwin kakis and a hawaiin shirt, not your typical hip hopper garb, and on top of that his behavior is that of some kid youd expect to see adorning a babylon 5 tee-shirt picking over minor lord of the rings inconsistancies.... then POW he hits the stage like a cat barking and your stuck wondering where the fuck he came from all of the sudden. Dementeds lyrics , like his stage presence,are not in the least bit surface level. they don't alwas set in immedately but sure enough youl be walking to the store and they will hit you like........"holy fuck... i need to call my grandfather and apologise for that thing i said" .Like Rasheed, Demented is very evenly versed in most genres and draws from them constantly making his music almost impervious to stagnation... never a dull moment with that guy I can tell you!!!The Chosen Few is the culmination of two musical bad asses who in time will become a staple in the world of hip hop! _-SMACK-UH-FYED
