The futures of the hip-hop is looking bright with a flavor that is dynamic, gritty, melodic and original. What’s new and what’s hot, mainstream or underground, from Jay-Z to Mos Def you can find that feel from Joseph Jamerson Jr., a.k.a. Meko Makafi a.k.a Ghengis Khan. “Real hip hop,bangin beats,and music that relates to the masses is what im tryna make” Meko explains. “Not enough rappers in the industry today do that. You’ll find me reading music magazines, watching MTV/BET/VH1, or digging deep in the records stores in order to stay on top of the game, which allows me to sleep on nothing.” When he was in the 8th grade many of his friends started to rap. Meko, who was good at writing rhymes at a young age decided to make his friends some songs on his friends 4 track, since no one else was. Ever since then he's listened to music fanatically. Inspired by mc's like Nas, Jay-z, and E-40, Meko would listen for the techniques used in verses to make a beat jump. He would take those techniques and apply it to his own music to make the perfect song. Meko extends his thirst for the perfect song by taking artists who have inspired him and striving to be comparable if not bigger. Meko has already worked with established artists such as Turf Talk, The Team, San Quinn, Mr. Fab, Messy Marv, and Mike Marshall. He is currently wrappin up a high anticipated album” Justifiable Means", getting ready to release "C.A.K.E" Vol.1 and 2, and getting ready to start his whole promotion campaign. Currently Meko has been perfecting his rapping skills working heavily with underground heavyweight producers Stay Fly, Bathing Aeks, and Traxamillion. “I’m not trying to just do,say, or make anything,” Meko says, summing up his vision as a mc. “I’m just bringing music that is real, that is soulful, that is undeniably body moving and neck breaking. I am just like you,” he adds, “ I love music, and I’m a fan. I want to make people feel how music makes me feel . . . complete”.
