Keynote Speakerz is the group-project of Dutch (Utrecht based) MC/Producers Master Surreal and Skiggy Rapz. As Keynote Speakerz they both account for 50% of the rhymes and productions as they bridge the gaps between their styles. Their aim is to create a broad range of “straight-up†Hip-hop for open-minded music listeners.
Their first vinyl, the “It’s Like That! E.P.†(Painted Dog Records), is out now and is accompanied by a video of the track “It’s Like That!â€. They are currently working on a full length album and a second vinyl-E.P. slated for September 2007.
