About Me

A-LEX-ANDER THE GREAT - Live Performance
..
Brooklyn’s own & Swords Up! Recordings’ Chief Executive Officer/Founder & President/Artist, A-LEX-ander The GREAT began writing rhymes/rapping at the age of 9. Hailing from the Cypress Hills section of East New York, and now in his Mid 20’s LEX is on a mission to bring newness and diversity to the music world/rap game. In the days of no balance within Hip-Hop, finally an emcee who embodies all angles of a Rap/Hip-Hop artist (commercial, mix-tape/street battles, spiritual, etc.).
In 2004 A-LEX-ander The GREAT released his first solo LP, “...Vol. II - Lyrical LEXicon: The Premixes!” . Named after the 2hr, 40+ track, self-produced mix-tape released in 2000, “The Amalgamation, Vol. 1”. LEX considered it to be his first solo album, because unlike the mix-tape (which was a compilation of various underground, semi-known, and notorious artist from across the globe), “...Vol. 2...” had fewer features (for previews & reviews, visit - www.CDBaby.com/AlexanderGreat ).
On Feb 29th, 2008 A-LEX appeared on BET's 106 & Park performing one of his original songs "Turn it Up!" on the All New Freestyle Friday. A-LEX won and solitified his spot in the All-star bracket. He returned to 106 & Park on April 26th to win again (performing another original song called "Do Dat Thang"), and become a semi-finalist. Then on May 30th A-LEX walked away with yet another victory to become a finalist. On June 6th A-LEX gave 2 outstanding performances in front of 35 million viewers in the final round of the competition, but didn't recieve enough votes online.
LEX & his music are accepted in a wide range of cultures; he has performed everywhere from Puerto-Rican Day Parades/Festivals to the Nigerian Entertainment Awards. His songs also have been featured on the forefront of many webpages/sites. As of 12/28/07 "The LEX-factor" peaked at the 3 position out of over 1,200,000 songs on Soundclick's Hip-Hop Charts. His music has also been played on many radio stations such as Central Jersey's 90.3fm The Core - Rutgers University and Dekadance-Radio.com just to name a few.
As of Feb '08 A-LEX was casted and have been filming/making appearances for a new Hip-Hop based reality show being recorded & shopped to MTV/VH1 networks."
LEX has also perfomed in many venues and on plenty of stages across the US; NYC: New York University (NYU), The Pyramid, Remote Lounge. SC: Battery Creek High School. NJ: The Colosseum, Brookdale College, Monmouth University, The Court Tavern, Brighton Bar, and so on. That’s just to name a few, but the list goes on (i.e. Clubs, Bars, High Schools, College/Universities, Parks, Block Parties, Churches, etc). But LEX, in his efforts to stay one step ahead of the average upcoming Hip-hop artist, expands his fam/fan-base by traveling overseas to the streets of London, England and takes you on a international excursion by working with many underground artist and returning with such tracks as the barrier-breaking cut “1-2, 1-2” featuring London’s own rap group FENG SHUi. One of the many tracks that can be found on his most recent release, "LEXcellence: The Best of LEXicon!" (Click CD Cover Below)
Overall, LEX delivers classic tracks for anyone who appreciates lyrical skill with everyday topics spread over diverse and original Hip-Hop music.
"The illest MC to come out of the Cypress Hills section of East New York... A-LEX-ander The GREAT! His uncanny wordplay, witty punch lines and melodic choruses are both undeniable and infectious. He creates an emotional and energetic sound that is laced with introspective street tales rhythms with compelling changes and there is never a break or mistake in the music.
ATG has a virtuosity rarely found in today's music industry. He displays professionalism, enthusiasm, charisma, and an unmatched work ethic. He is constantly on the grind and is a force to be reckoned with in the hip-hop music scene... and has the dynamics and talent to make it in today's cutthroat industry!" - Talent2K
