DR@FTPICK$ are the industries premier up and coming rap duo representing Strong Island, New York. The duo consists of two young and gifted MC’s, Jonathan Whitaker bka “Jae-O”, 22, the young, cocky, flashy, pretty, hustler with the lyrics to match, and Jeremy Daleus, bka “J-ROC”, 21, another young, flashy, block hugging G whose aggressive flow and punch lines rival the greats. Their goal is to continue the tradition of excellence that has been pioneered by Long Island native hip hop giants like EPMD, Public Enemy, Keith Murray, De la Soul , and Busta Rhymes to name a few. The duo chose to call them selves DR@FTPICK$ because as huge sports fans they felt that this name embodies all the attributes that will continue to make them successful in their music career. Similar to a talented, dedicated and hardworking first round lottery pick that studies and respects the game, DR@FTPICK$ will make an excellent addition to any roster. They have the raw talent, desire, skill, lyrics, delivery, stage presence and star power that has put them on the threshold of greatness. After their last performance, DR@FTPICK$ were honored when one of their inspirations, PARRISH of the legendary EPMD was quoted as saying “dudes are dope and their swagger is right” as he explained “that’s how me and E look, that’s how we rock and there’s two of us, tag team champs on da mic!” When defining their music and style it can be said that DR@FTPICK$ have a STREET SWAGGER balanced with a MAINSTREAM SENSIBILITY. With radio ready club bangers like “WOP” that will turn a late 80’s dance into a contemporary dance craze, and “BLACK IMPALA” which draws upon the often negative black male experience with law enforcement, DR@FTPICK$, have aspirations of platinum sales. Their music has an appeal to the streets because of its authenticity and at the same time an appeal to the teeny bopper crowd because of their swagger and energy. Some say that success in the music industry for new acts is unlikely or even impossible considering the current economic climate, but DR@FTPICK$ are taking the same ambition and work ethic they have from the streets to the music industry, so the standard they have set for themselves is high. Like it or Not DR@FTPICK$ are on their way.contacts: [email protected] [email protected]
