Milwaukee, Wisconsin is not known for breeding hit emcees as it is a house hold name for brewing the beer that stretches from sea to shining sea. Armagideon has managed to shine through the stereotypes as he setto release his debut album Tryin' Times. The twenty-three year old
artist could quite easily be the Midwest's best kept secret.Beginning his musical journey on his front porch writing rhymes and break dancing at the tender age of twelve, Armagideon paid his dues as a member of Kings Paradice Records. For over a decade Kings Paradice Records has been the Milwaukee/Chicago hip hop source for innovative artists and quality hip hop products. Armagideon began as a roady, selling merchandise and
towing his writing skills. Now, Armagideon is getting a taste of
his dreams by touring constantly, by self marketing and distributing his own product.Armagideon has performed with the likes of neighboring emcee Common, veteran artists Whodini
and Afrika Bamm. Eager to succeed, Armagideon has taken advantage of ever single opportunity
to shine. During a Common concert, Common asked the crowd, "Does Milwaukee have any real
emcees?" Before Common could finish his sentence Armagideon catapulted himself to the stage
and before he could realize what was happening, he was rapping along side one of his favorite
artists. Other notable opening performances by Armagideon include Dead Prez, KRS ONE, Lil Webbie, Professor Griff, Erykah Badu, Mike Jones, Black Eyed Peas, N.E.R.D.and Young Bloodz.The sound is original and the
lyrics have substance, a perfect combination that is sure to promise a bright future for this young
artist.Armagideon's Lyrics are in his words, "a piece of my experience and people of the struggle across
the Globe...I have traveled to Cuba, Jamaica and Peru and no matter where I go struggle is
struggle and poverty is poverty, I have to be that voice." Working with selfless dedication to his
message, he spills his heart out in songs like "Shine" and "Crazy Lady". Overall Armagideon's
sound is a breath of fresh air from all the emcee battles, bling bling and murder music. It is hip
hop in it's truest form and if you can appreciate authenticity then you will love the musical message
of Armagideon.
