Getting to Know: Raisi K.
Get to know Black Ice's "Raisi K." on a whole another level. See what he has to say:
1) You are from?
A: “I’m from Albany, NY. Got Love in Akron, OH and C-Bus OH Too”
2) When and why and did you start producing?
A: “I started producing just this July. I was very curious and wanted to try it out. Now I'm hooked, haha”
3) What do you think about hip-hop and where it’s going?
A: “Hip hop is being put in the backburner, too many people working to get an easy buck in hip-hop. We need the soul and the grittiness, we need the roots back!”
4) Who are your 3 favorite hip-hop artists?
A: “Styles P., Fabolous, Jadakiss, and Lloyd Banks (sorry 4). They rap like they are still rookies who are hungry, I like that.”
5) Who would you say are the best 3 artist out right now?
A: “Styles P., Fabolous, and hmmm…. Banks”
6) Who inspires or inspired your rapping?
A: “Major (Mr. Capers) inspired me in actually making beats, but before that, The Alchemist, my fave producer.”
7) Pick one word that describes your style?
A: “Sampleholic: Give me a sample. I will kill it and eat it for fun.”
8) What makes Black Ice unique? And what is your goal in the group?
A: “Black Ice manages to assemble a group of fellas with immense talent and all different music styles and make it harmonious to embody the roots and the true message of hip-hop. So honored to be part of the Black Ice Campaign.”
9) Why did you pick the stage name you have, and what does it symbolize?
A: “‘Raisi K.’ is in honor of my Great-Grandpa Mr. Kongoli, and gotta credit a couple chicas from school for making the nickname. ‘Raisin Man’ is a nickname that has stuck since the longest so that's in there. You can call me ‘Pepper-Homie’ as well, in honor of my good friend Bryce Crawford aka Coach B. I See You Bro Haha!”
10) Who is Raisi K.?
A: “Who is Raisi K? I'm Congo's Finest, lol. But seriously I'm a pretty cool guy, not gonna lie.”
11) If you had one thing to say to listeners, what would you say?
A: “To my listeners out there, I make beats to trigger emotion, to get parties started, to make you laugh, cry, get angry, surprised, humorous. I do this to make the 2 minutes of time you've invested in listening worth it. For my time invested in this is golden in my eyes.”
Raisi K. (Raisin Man), is one of the newest members to Black Ice Entertainment. He has recently entered the hip-hop scene by picking up the art of beat making. His first mixtape, "From Raisin Man With Love:Vol. 1" was released this year. He is currently working on several solo projects, as well as on the second volume to his first mixtape. It will be available for download within the upcoming months. Take a listen to "Killer Vegetarian Flow," from Raisi K.'s upcoming mixtape.

Getting to Know: Language Arts
Get to know Black Ice's "Language Arts" on a whole another level. See what he has to say:
1) You are from?
A: “Brooklyn, NY.”
2) When and why and did you start rapping?
A: “I started rapping because it was an acceptable way to carry conversations with paper lol. I was a quiet kid.”
3) What do you think about hip-hop and where it’s going?
A: “I think Hip-Hop is transforming into a quasi-multi-genre. In a few years, hip-hop will have no roots to it. It'll be hip-hop because one said it is.”
4) Who are your 3 favorite hip-hop artists?
A: “Common, Andre 3000 and Blu.”
5) Who would you say are the best 3 artist out right now?
A: “Common, Andre 3000 and Blu.”
6) Who inspires or inspired your rapping?
A: “Mother probably. My style comes from her enforcing the importance of acquiring knowledge at a young age. Otherwise, I’d probably wouldn't take the time to write at all.”
7) Pick one word that describes your style?
A: “I'm told Soulful, but I'd say Honest, lol.”
8) What makes Black Ice unique? And what is your goal in the group?
A: “Black Ice is unique because it's rather random. It was a video company before it was a Hip-Hop group- also, a bunch of artists who aren't really similar in any way other than the fact that they write music. None of the artists sound alike. My goal is to make Black Ice a label or production group like Jay's Rocafella.”
9) Why did you pick the stage name you have, and what does it symbolize?
A: “Language Arts was my worst subject in middle school when I loathed writing. When I met Black Ice in college, all I did was write. I even took up English with a concentration in writing. I became Language Arts, essentially.”
10) Who is Language Arts?
A: “Language Arts is a very opinionated idea that anything can be said in any way at anytime and must be accepted by default. Language Arts is the idea of sharing an un-bias opinion at all times because it must be shared.”
11) If you had one thing to say to listeners, what would you say?
A: “B You Self! It's the best thing for all of us.”
Language Arts is one of the co-founders of Black Ice Entertainment and is also the co-founder of The New Aristocrats (Formerly known as The News). His first mixtape, "The A ep," debuted in September. He is currently working on a new mixtape titled, "b you self." Take a listen to "Right," the newest track from Language Art's upcoming mixtape:

A New Mix for Hip-Hop
Language Arts, a Brooklyn native and rising underground rap artist, has recently released the debut of his newly released Mixtape, The A ep. The highly anticipated Mixtape is one that will be turning heads for avid hip-hop listeners everywhere.
With such a unique style, not only pertaining to lyrics but to beats as well, Language Arts is truly a different type of artist altogether. His special combination of R&B, Hip-Hop, Rock, and Jazz genres truly provides a different spin to the rap game in general.
In The A ep, listeners will not only find an interesting artist, but also a rapper who loves what he does. With tracks such as “Task Complete (The Intro),” “Full of Crap,” and “Rain,” it is nearly impossible not to see the nature of his passion for music.
With ties to groups such as Black Ice and The New Aristocrats (who are also featured on the Mixtape), Language Arts is definitely a coming force to the rap scene; The A ep is his proof. It should also be added that he produced his own Mixtape- that fact in itself displays the amazing talents he obtains.
The A ep is currently available for free download at Datpiff.com. I highly recommend all hip-hop fans, specifically the younger listeners, to visit the site and download the Mixtape.

Clip from The A ep, "Task Complete," can be viewed down below.

Curren$y Pilot Talk
In less than a week Curren$y's new album "Pilot Talk" will be released. For many, this album has been greatly anticipated, especially after the release date delay. The album was scheduled to be released on June 15th, but due to reasons unclear, the debut date is now set for July 13th.
Curren$y has been recently seen as a new upcoming and promising artist, even impressive enough to land him on the cover of XXL Magazine Freshman 10 2009. Curren$sy's style and lyrics are unique in its own and with the newly released song, "King Kong," from his upcoming album, it seems theres much to look forward to.
Take a listen and see for yourself:

Mos Def: In the Zone
Anyone who knows Hip-Hop knows the name Mos Def, well... at least people who listen to real Hip-Hop that is. Mos Def is without a doubt one of the greatest rappers to have ever stepped in the game, and he has definitely proven it through his solo career as well as his time in "Black Star." Lately, after the release of his newest album "The Ecstatic," Mos Def has been recording some exclusive tracks that shows the lyrical veteran still has more to offer.
Check out these two new videos from the "Boogie Man" himself. After listening, hopefully you'll have a new meaning to what it truly means to be an "Artist."

Outlet For 2010
On January 2010, “Mr. Caper’s Outlet” was released into the underground hip-hop world. The quiet and subtle mixtape release might have not turned many heads, but once this mixtape receives more exposure, I guarantee that heads will be doing complete 360’s.
The mixtape was produced by Mr. Capers himself. Capers, a fellow member of the group called “Black Ice Entertainment” has created a simple but yet well weaved together mixtape.
“Mr. Caper’s Outlet” is truly an enjoyable and fun listen, and with such colorful bouncy beats, Caper’s finds a way to add meaning to his rhymes; therefore, revealing a quaint statement in each track. The mixtape’s title alone signifies a meaning of cope and escape.
To describe Caper’s style is one in which caution should be used. As a matter of fact, Caper’s said it best himself in a line from a track titled Never Seen Before (Not on the mixtape), in which he says, “I’m like the Barry White of rap.” With beats combining West Coast, East Coast, and even down South sounds- Caper’s has found a way to mesh multiple genres, leaving the audience with a mainstream feel mixed with underground lyrics.
Mr. Caper’s has shown his versatility over and over through previous mixtapes (Major Glory, The Flowchart, etc…), and in “Mr. Caper’s Outlet,” he does not disappoint. His versatility in flow keeps the tape from dragging along and becoming repetitive. He also has skits which provide a sense of creative modern humor.
Thus, Caper’s new mixtape provides a new style in the so called dying genre of hip-hop. The mixtape is a smooth and well put together blend of tracks with enough balance in meaning and humor to attract all fans. With hits such as Leave it at that, Ain’t That Serious, Winter Break, and the Hyyerr Fyyerr (Remix), fans will definitely be keeping it on repeat. Hopefully the mixtape will gain the attention it deserves. Currently it is available for free download on Megaupload (There will be a link below this article). Hope you all enjoy, I know I did.
