Bio

His music is raw, honest, always real. A lyrical genious of the first order and leader in the Hip-Hop movement, 2 Da Blendz lays it on the line, no-holds-barred: "I love the fact that I can create my music with excitement, and energy". What I do is paint pictures musically - no frills added." The Street mixtape-buying public is going to find that "Immaculate Conception" his new mixtape Hosted by DJ Dow Jones, creates a new type of flavor while keeping the mixtape feel. What the eager audience he created will discover is that 2 Da Blendz went even deeper lyrically on this project "Immaculate Conception." The song titles tell it all: "We Good We Neutral" which like many of the other tunes on the mixtape, is based on his experiences in life, and many other things he's seen in the world of music. "I was reaching out for a certain freedom of self-expression on this album. I went into making it with the attitude that it would be better than most mixtapes you hear, that it would still have the sensibilities of new school Hip-Hop, but with more of a street edge," says 2 Da Blendz. Working with a cast of other artist that includes Peeve Paperz, 7-9, Poze, W.O.P., Rudeboyz, C-Sextion, Lady Poe, Ra Dash, Young Sheff, Micablendz. 2 Da Blendz masterminded the direction for Immaculate Conception: "It was about setting the tone for whatever I wanted the mixtape to be. I worked with some great people but my thing is, if we're gonna work together, you have to understand where I'm coming from. The vibe and creativity has to coincide with what I'm saying musically and lyrically." Drawing on the influences of Hip-Hop ancestors like Busta Rhymes, Ludacris, and Jay-Z - three of the artists who inspired him during his formative years - "Immaculate Conception" is filled with the kind of tell-it-like-it-is musical statements that have made 2 Da Blendz a pioneer in the realm of today's Hip-Hop music circuit. Starkly honest "Money Power Respect" is like a manual to succeed in this industry of music. I'm saying, 'It's about creating music and sharing your talents with your true fans.'" " There's a natural high, a rush of adrenalin that I get when I'm writing, recording, producing…" Getting to the place where he could experience the range of his creative skills took a moment for the Johnstown, Pennsylvania artist. Hailing from a musical family, 2 Da Blendz was known for his DJ skills, playing drums, and production for a long time. "I've been producing, singing and writing poetry ever since." Hard work is finally starting to pay off musically. I worked very hard and I felt comfort in a spiritual way once people started getting into my music. That hard work is evident throughout "Immaculate Conception". Love, indeed, and a whole lot of blood, sweat and tears. The result is an amazing mixtape that reinforces 2 Da Blendz as a one-of-a-kind, passionate, honest and remarkable artist who is carving his own niche in the world of Hip-Hop music. Ain't no doubt, in the realm of the new millennium, 2 Da Blendz is the real thing. This is a must have for any musical collection. www.triplerblacksandz.webs.com www.twitter.com/2dablendz @2dablendz www.iamcrack.com www.myspace.com/blacksandz www.facebook.com/blendzblacksandz myPPK.com/get/2dablendz INFLUENCES: Jay-Z, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes
