The tree of Hip-Hop grows deep in the hills of North Carolina. Staying true to the roots of what started the game, comes Nasty Fruit. Originating in Charlotte, N.C., the Fruit branches extend throughout many states of the country. Hailing in the Raleigh-Durham area, the band of emcee’s, deejays, producers, b-boys and graffiti artists make a name for themselves with a true school style in the mist of gangstas, pimps, 36 inch rims and ice. As a direct result of being from the melting pot of rap music (North Carolina), Nasty Fruit reflects all flavors of the culture. The crew is spearheaded by three emcees’s, Mr. D.O.L.O., Sym Swelz, and Knottyhead. These three branches from the tree of Hip-Hop produce the nastiest fruit in the game.Mr. D.O.L.O., formally of Now City/Elektra, is one of the Fruit founders and captain of the squadron. With his powerful voice and grand style, D.O.L.O. is determined to prove that real rhymes can be pop culture with the proper direction. Being a producer and hook specialist, the emcee shows another side of the Rap game.Pulling up in your mom’s Camry with her riding shot-gun, is the ladykiller Sym Swelz. With his southern, nasal style, Swelz has produced punch lines and metaphors that have left lips swollen. Swelz is also a stage veteran that will spin the show out of control with a couple of windmills and suicides.The KnottyHead Avenger will keep the crowd jumping with 1000 watts of energy. This Mic Controller beats you over the head with a Hip-Hop native tongue style. Another veteran, the Avenger (a.k.a the Knott Box), is known for his articulate flow and electricity on record as well as on stage.Although each member is a solo artist, since the merge of these real emcees and crazy hot producers D.J. Skaz and Illastrashawn, The Triangle Area has witnessed some of the most memorable performances in recent history. Nastyfruit has blessed the stages of The Cat’s Cradle, Club 506 and the Brewery. Their resume also includes blowing off the roof of the Berkely Café in Raleigh on a regular basis and tearing down shows at the historic Hayti Heritage Center in Durham. Now these lyrical cats shut ‘em down every 3rd Thursday as the feature artists at the Montas Lounge in Durham, NC. You can be sure they will storm into your town bringing true Hip-Hop culture at its finest while leaving your face with a squinted frown as if you just bit into the most rotten fruit ever produced!Fruit Live @ the Montas...Montage...THE 4 ELEMENTS... Look Whut Co Diggz found and showed me!!!!! NC STAND UP!
