Growing up in the cradle of mankind, aka the black continent, and traveling the globe ever since, Warpath has a lot on his mind and can bond with all kinds of heads. He grew up in Kaiserslautern, Germany (67...) & was exposed to hip hop already at an early age. Hanging with all kind of heads and seeing many peeps being active, he connected with the local scene and was introduced to the REAL world of HIP HOP. In 1996 (at an age of 14 years) he started ciphering & getting active with the rap element of hip hop. By mixing intelligence with his battle rhymes, Warpath is a unique artist building a bridge into the future of Hip Hop.
O.C. , also from Kaiserslautern, Germany, Started dj'ing in 2000 and moved on to producing in 2002 chopping soul, rock, blues, and putting together sounds that would make you think he had an orchestra living with him. O.C. has produced for a range of artists coming from both Hip Hop and RnB backgrounds. With a distinct ear for producing and mixing music, O.C. can turn any project into a masterpiece.
Raised on the wing of a bird that flew non-stop all over the world, it is no wonder where Kayohes gets his musical influence. Born in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he would not stay long in the good ol' U S of A for long. The four winds carried him to Japan, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Cuba, and finally back to Germany where he lays his head now. "I've breathed the same air as Fidel Castro, eaten paella in downtown Madrid, and ran from bulls in Portugal. The world is in me!" The lyrics this man brings gives the listener Intense Feelings, creative thought, and political awareness. A voice so rare, but so uprising, Kayohes has had crowds tell him his lyrics connected with his live show, is a breathe of fresh air in this polluted hip-hop atmosphere. Also a producer, chopping soul, classical, and international rhythms, Kayohes has produced for Germany's A.K. Swift, Marcel Cartier, and himself. A lyricist with a cause, a voice to be reckoned with, and an immense thought warrior, Kayohes is here to stay.
With O.C. holding down the beats, Warpath and Kayohes on the lyrics, their full length album warningly entitled "Head Shots", will definitely make heads roll.
