Malcolm & Martin
DJ Revolution presents Malcolm & Martin It is no surprise that artists Styliztik Jones and KB Imean met. The collaboration of their different backgrounds yet parallel experiences fulfills the unspoken tragedies and struggles of everyday street life. Their latest work depicts their message perfectly and will surely be regarded as a timeless hip-hop album by fans and new listeners alike. I want my message to make everybody aware of what Im feeling, what I go through and what I went thru to get where I am, states KB. I would not characterize myself as a conscious rapper, but being that my father was a former member of the Black Panthers, I AM conscious of a lot of things. I did grow up in a pretty harsh environment, and I am aware of the streets. Its not gangsta rap or super-positive, but between the two. Balancing my experiences and standing up for my people. Having grown up in the streets of Queens NY, life wasnt easy for him and his single father. Having now come so far from where he was raised (figuratively and literally), he becomes a person almost everyone can relate to as an example of a positive coming from a negative. At the age of 16, KB found himself living in LA with his mother. He began high school and his relentless pursuit of his being a creative artist and MC. This eventually landed him in the studio with J. Wells. It was here that he heard the products of Styliztik Jones work, when listening to some of the studio creations for the Alkaholiks. A short time later, Styliztik heard KB flow and from then on its been history. They began consulting with each other for their albums, and mix tapes, while Styliztik was being pursued by Warner Brothers urban department. Now, their new flavor of music as a collaborative effort displays a funky, soulful sound. DJ Revolution creates a fitting musical backdrop for the powerful, relevant and intelligent content. Original production and tasteful arrangement help to deliver this project so as to capture the mind of even the most casual music listener.

This music is my effort to beat the stereotypes. There are a lot of stereotypes as far as hip hop is concerned, and as far as black males in hip hop are concerned. I just want to squash it states Styliztik Jones when talking about the release of Malcolm & Martin. This seems a difficult task, but while the album cover displays the faces of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. side by side with KBImean and Styliztik Jones, it is symbolic for spreading the message that we all can achieve and make movements towards lifes greatest challenges, even as individuals, just as the lifes work of these incredible icons. Malcolm & Martin life doesnt frighten me.
