Be prepared to take notes little ones. The time has come to shut up,
slap on your headphones and listen to some new fresh sounds. This is
music that will move you, music that will shake you and music that
sounds like it should be coming straight out of Los Angeles or New
York. Calling the small town of Grand Prairie Alberta, Canada home,
this is the story of Rapamatics.
Born Kevin Ward, Rapamatics got his start at an early age. Motivated
by his mother, who was a singer in a church choir, and influenced by
the likes of Maestro Fresh Wes and LL Cool J Rapamatics began creating
music at the tender age of 16. Together with his then partner Darren
'Dopestylez' Hammett, the two would form Blizzard Extortion. Using
this project as a learning block, the group would expand and reform
under the name EXTENT , which saw this young MC opening for Swollen
Members (Battleaxe Records) at the Kat Walk in Red Deer Alberta in
front of 2,500 people.
In 2005 Extent would part ways leaving Rapamatics to go his own road.
Since then this young MC brimming with poise, determination and wicked
talent has been quietly building his reputation, constructing his
songs and learning his craft. Rapamatics has also been collaborating
with other talented MC's such as Richard "H20" Waters. Recently
Rapamatics has also reunited with his longtime friend, mentor and
collaborator Troy "Ratix" Radics and the pair have begun work on a new
record. Big things are on the horizon with a planned album release for
late 2007 and video and touring plans for 2008. Be on the lookout
kids! You've been warned!
