Band Members: NOCTURNE AKA MR SCIENTIFIC-(MC) Clean cut, conservative, health nut....All the things one would not expect from a monster on the mic. The perfect voice pitch between B-Vax and Elevation are what makes this lyricst stand out. Bringing a nice balance with a scientific style that breaks down every phrase and verb for the mind to absorb. The ES style has been described as Funky,Soulful and Jazzy. Noc is defintlety the jazzy aspect. Bringing the cool demeanor of a laid back sax player with his rhyme schemes over otherwise rough and rugged Hip Hop beats.//////////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////////// ELEVATION THE ILLEST AKA THE KID BUC WYLD-(MC) "Hip Hop, get back to the sensational!!" That's the battle cry from one the Chicago scene's best voices. Known to be a master of hooks Ele has been to known to take a beat most would shy from and make it memorable and melodic. Exploding with a razor sharp delivery that most MC's work a lifetime to perfect. Armed with a mind chockful of classic rhymes and singing skills ( Just ask him!!) this edition to the ES crew has the making of a Chicago powerhouse./////////////////////////////////////////////////
/////// B-VAX AKA MR. TOXIC- (DJ, MC) Some guys will go down in Hip Hop known for one thing. B-Vax is not of those guys. The multi talented former breaker hung up his fat laces to chase his other passions of the Hip Hop culture, djing and eventually picking the mic up to hone his MC skills. Bringing a simplistic in your face style to this team coupled with a thirst for greatness has put them in a postion to bring crowds to their feet in a ES stage show. Building alliances with many on the Hip Hop scene. B-vax is seeing his dream of ES rising to the top come to life. ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
///////////// DJ RICOCHET AKA DR. MIND BENDER/SHREK -(DJ, PRODUCER) Many follow a rule in the Hip Hop game....... if the beat doesn't grab you the first 15 seconds it's not worth listening to. Dj Ricochet lives and dies by these rules daily. Taking pride in getting your head nodding immediately. This pure Chicago producer proves Kanye West is not the only one with Soul. Straying away from well known loops and over used samples comes from being raised on a healthy dose soul, jazz, deep house, funk and South side stepping music. Getting the constant thumbs up from Chicago and outlying fans guarantees Ric will keep the mind body and soul moving for a long time.
