Is it possible to make conscious music and still maintain a rugged, borderline street appeal?? For Chief Kamachi, an original member of underground supergroup Army of the Pharoahs, and Juju Mob, the answer is a resounding yes. Very few artist have the history, credibility, and diversity of Kamachi A staple in the the Underground hiphop circuit since 1998, Kamachi has released a steady volume of singles as well as a critically acclaimed debut album CULT STATUS, now culminating in the release of CONCRETE GOSPEL.Having his roots firmly planted in indie Hip Hops hot bed of Philadelphia, Kamachi has achieved a serious following. He's shared company with some of Hip hop's biggest acts, including Gang Starr, DITC, and most recently displayed his lyrical dexterity on the Army of the Pharoahs debut album The Torture Papers.Kamachi has found his niche in creating music that is street savy and current while preserving an underlying element of global consciousness. Hardly an undertaking suited for the majority of todays hip hop's artist, Kamachi tempers his desperation with the current state of Black America with an underlying optimism and hope for the future, all within one cohesive musical and lyrical landscape. If nothing else, Kamachi is uncompromising with respect to his thoughts on religion, politics, and the continuing struggle of his people.
