Strife

The music is why we're in it. We sure ain't making no money. The recording industry is worse than the land of the dead. The promoters only care to promote their wallets as safely as possible by recycling yesterday's shit with a facelift. The club scene is no better. Rock and hip hop remain as segregated as ever. The club owners care nothing about the music. They'll pay bands a nickel and a dime as long as they sound just like the band from the week before and they drag all their friends to the show. We figure that the scene were looking for, we're gonna have to build it. And we'll succeed or fail on the strength of our sound. We hope you dig it.

FUSE

The freshest sound of Underground Hip-Hop
spun with Raw Street Funk.

Based in Central Jersey, FUSE rocks audiences everywhere with a unique mix of urban beats, underground riffs and original street rhymes. Featuring charismatic MC Jalil on the mic, Toast on bass, X on guitars, Jeru on the drum kit and Zeph Sauvage on sounds and percussions, the band delivers explosive live jams throughout the Tri-State area (NJPAC in Jersey, Galapagos, Lion's Den & Bowery Club in New York, Five Spot & GrapeStreet in Philadelphia). Legendary Beat promoter Bob Holman chose FUSE to be the house band for the Manhattan Black Beats Festival (featured in the Village Voice). FUSE was also selected as the house band for Planet Hip Hop 3 festival at the New Jersey Performing Arts Center in November 2006. The band has released its latest full-length CD "Nine Cuts" (available at www.FusePlanet.com) and is working on a studio sessions release for later this year.
