Get to Know 👑KING KRIS👑 | Beat Yard Exclusives

 

King Kris was born in Key West, Florida. He resided in a place called Bahama Village where he was exposed to island life – he was influenced by the Jamaican/Bahamian/Haitian culture. Because drug activity was common, he was forced to grow up very quickly at a very young age.

 

Kris states that both of his parents were musically inclined. At the age of 10, he was introduced to rap music finding interest in his first KRS1 album which led him to understand the depth of rap music and its political and social meaning at that time.  Of all of the rappers he’s listened to, Kris points to 50Cent as the most influential rapper because of his raw style of music, followed by Tupac and Biggie because of their East coast/West coast flavor and their relatable streetwise content. 

 

In 2019, Kris became serious about making music.  He set out to record his very first video followed by a real endeavor to develop a catalogue of music, which he still has to this day.  In January 2020, he felt confident enough to record his first professional video entitled, ‘Ima Beast, Ima Dog’ (https://youtu.be/-D7CqMYEfgQ), which racked up some 4K views in its first week on YouTube. After seeing himself visually on the screen, he knew without a doubt “this is it…this is what I want to do”.   It was at this point that he was tired of street life as he knew it, and music was a way to “be a cultural influence without being a hustler in the streets physically.  I decided to leave the streets alone, because I saw that I could still rap about my experiences -  I was believable because my experiences were authentic.”  

 

In 2020, a week after his video ‘Divin’ In The Money’ (https://youtu.be/uCNnkggx_6k) dropped, his performance momentum began to pick up. He had 2 shows scheduled in Ohio and was booked to perform 3 shows out of town, and various small labels were turning their attention to him, wanting to meet with him.  All of this forward momentum was unexpectedly halted due to the now infamous Covid outbreak that shut the world down, canceling all of Kris’ performance plans.  But instead of stopping the progression, Kris’ video began drawing a lot of attention. After it was posted to social media platforms, he was sought by various sponsors and was asked to be a brand ambassador for a particular well-known grill-making company.  So, while many artists were stagnated by the lengthy Covid shutdown, King Kris creatively sought ways to earn income to support his craft. He found the business aspect of the industry was the niche that would provide a steady source of income to keep his vision moving forward. He credits his success to maintaining good business relationships, staying focused, and looking for/receiving beneficial opportunities in marketing, branding, and promotions.  King Kris is a highly intelligent, successful, self-made businessman.  He’s observant enough to deduct that “we, the artists, are the ones who set the trends. We’re the ones the audience will emulate. We’re the ones who tells them who to go to. Any smart marketer will see the advantage of working with a sought-after artist, or a popular up and coming one.”  

 

His latest release, ‘Call Me King’ (https://youtu.be/JRSjVRgQrgE) gives the audience a glimpse into the life King Kris. It’s the most personal work he has produced to date. The video is VEVO approved and is approaching 46K views in just 3 weeks.  He brings an energy that is as hard to overlook as his commanding 6’5” stature, good looks, and determination – all making a recipe for success. He is believable when he says, “I was made for this!”

 

When asked of his immediate future goals, he states he will eventually be a multiplatinum recording artist with a grammy;  he’d also like to pursue serious acting. He is currently CEO of his own company and label, and he predicts progressive future growth.  He is ambitious and determined stating, “if you shoot for the stars, you’ll at least land on the moon.”

[NEWS] Producer PHILONIUS PHUNK'S signature sound is becoming more and more Popular among a New Generation

 

          The Nerdcore Hip Hop genre is briskly becoming popular among a new audience.  Nerdcore hip hop is a sub genre of music where it's vocalists usually rhyme about subject matter centered around the interests of hobbyists, geeks and nerds such as science fiction, comic books, anime, video games, Martial Arts films, and more.  The artists in the genre also rap over instrumentals either inspired by or sampled from video games, and sci-fi movies.  Although the genre has been growing since the mid 90s and originated with acts such as MC Frontalot, and MC Chris and popularized by legendary artists such as Mega Ran and the late MF Doom there is one budding beatmaker / producer that is currently taking the genre to the next level by bridging the gap between the nerdcore music scene and traditional hip hop fans and artists and that composer goes by the name of Philonius Phunk.

 

 

Philonius Phunk is the founding member and resident producer of the popular Nerdcore rap band S.P.F. (Symphonic Pheenix Force) and has produced many songs for various indie hip hop recording artists such as rapper / R&B singer D-Hud, popular west coast act Birdy and most recently rising indie emcee A-Game.  A-Game and Philonious Phunk currently have an entire collaboration EP available on Bandcamp titled Mashup!  Purchase or stream Mashup at the direct link below

Beat Talk: Coach Real (Rising King of New York Hip Hop)

Rising New York based indie hip hop recording artist Coach Real sits down and talks to us here at The Beat Yard about the types of beats he likes to rock to, the producers he would like to build with and more!  Check out what he has to say here in this one on one interview.



The Beat Yard:  How has 2014 been for you so far?
Coach Real:  2014 has been very good so far.  I'm putting a lot of things together for a very successful fiscal year.

The Beat Yard:  What beats bring out the best in what you do?

Coach Real:  I wouldn't say there is a certain type of beat that brings  out my best.  I will say I dislike Southern style beats with a passion and honestly I make beats hot, they don't make me.

The Beat Yard:  What producers have you worked with so far?

Coach Real:  Stephen Farr for feta productions the Grammy award winning team The Writers Block and Eque the imperial, and I'm expecting some material from Adam Deitch from break science and hopefully Cinemax from death house.

The Beat Yard:  What producers would you like to work with in the future?

Coach Real:  DJ Premier,  Timbaland, Pete Rock, Harry Fraud, The RZA, and most of all aarabMuzik.

The Beat Yard:  Who are some of your favorite producers?

Coach Real:  I would have to say my favorite producer I have not worked with yet is AarabMuzik his sound is crazy and for me it defines New York city street hip hop.  It's almost like a calling card for the hood and then Adam Deitch from break science.  Now Adam is family from way back.  I have known Adam since 1997 when I was in the Under World Secret Service.  I actually performed with Adam at s.o.b.'s and he is a true hip hop fan and he produced "My Gun Goes off" on 50 Cent's Curtis album plus Adam Deitch and Borahm lee is  BREAK SCIENCE so I can't wait to hop on some of there dub step beats and make history.  Now for producers I have worked with I would have to say Cinemax and then my current producer Stephen Farr.  Cinemax is my very first producer he is the one that taught me what 16 bars is and how to count bars and BPM's.   Cinemax is the one that turned me into a professional recording artist took me from a 4 track Akai board to working on ssl boards in Premier's studio formerly known as Quad Studio.  Also Michael Jacksons studio room in Sony studios which NO ARTIST ON EARTH HAS EVER RECORDED IN EXCEPT FOR US THE UNDER WORLD SECRET SERVICE.  He helped me develop my craft and style from a rookie so he knows my sound and how I rhyme and what I like so hopefully I can get him on this album it would be a needed bonus.  Then you have Stephen Farr, for feta productions aka MR FARR he is another guy I have known for a long time and he has worked with another family member of mines CX so he also knows how I ride the beat and what I need to move forward he came into the picture right when I started my promo campaign and we linked up and he knew coach real as a rookie, but once he got a hold of Coach Real the vet it was a whole different ball game Mr. Farr and I have a vision of music that I promise you will change the face of hip hop as we know it we already have done something that has never been done on the record "THE SERMON" he literally put a sermon in the middle of the record and it sounds crazy and I look forward to finishing my album with Mr. Farr so we can move to the next level on something even newer and fresher.

The Beat Yard:  Do you buy beats?

Coach Real:  So far no I have not purchased any beats.  I think right now its more beneficial for producers to either front me the beat and we work something out if it sells or we can do something on the back end either way anything can be worked out I just don't think its smart for me as a independent to purchase beats that you don't know how well the beat is going to do air play wise or if you can sell the record you use the beat for.  So its just smarter for both parties.  It's smart for them because I'm the #1 rated rapper in the world according to Reverbnation and I do massive numbers when I release music which in turn gets there name out there as a producer or production team and it also gives me the opportunity to see how my fan base responds to me on whatever beat it is I'm using.

The Beat Yard:  Do you like it more when a producer is hands on with you in creating a song, or would you prefer them to send beats and you work on your own?

Coach Real:  I like when me and the producer work together on the track its self the beat and maybe the hook because when making a record its about bringing two visions together my vision and the producers and making them blend together for one vision is key and some times a producer can have a beat that i have a vision for and he can just email it to me and i will body it at the end of the day its always the rapper and the beat.

The Beat Yard:  What's next for Coach Real when it comes to what types of beats and production we can expect to hear you on in the future?

Coach Real:  There is no such thing as a certain  type of beat or sound to expect to hear me on my flow and delivery allows me to hop on anything and make it a hit but i will say this new dub step/hip hop sound is next up for me to flip and who knows I might get Kid Rock to make me something.  I'm far out there like that you can never tell with me my creativity has no bounds.

Artist Spotlight: Seven (ACM Records)

Bio From The Official ACM Records Site:  You probably remember 7 as a lucky number. Yet Seven is \'lucky\' to be alive pursuing his dreams as a force to be reckoned with in the music industry. His near death experience from head trauma from a tragic accident in 1995, brought about the name when he was in the hospital for only seven days. 

Seven has always had a love for all music. As a youth, he hung around many family members and friends in the music industry, but his true interest came about when he was in Oakland in 1993. His uncle Pete Wilson was producing a record for his group at the time and brought Seven in on one of the recording sessions. Pete had him rap on a track, which came to be Seven\'s first recording. Seeing the process of making a record right before his eyes intrigued Seven ten times more with music. 

He worked with many unknown and unsigned recording artists, producers, and musicians until he got burned once too many. Chance, another uncle of his, approached him with the game plan of owning his own record label. Therefore Roccaz Records was born. They recruited a producer/friend Keith Sterling to help with Seven\'s debut album Roccaz Records. 

Together they created 18 tracks in 3 months. All original music, two guys, no egos, no B.S. When asked what makes him different from the rest, he says, \'music lives forever, and my goal is to be %231, nothing more, nothing less\'.
