All Genres > Hip Hop/Rap > Hip Hop > MADD BAND: Yard Sale

Never before has the power of lyrics and our ability to dictate our reality been expressed so clearly and creatively. Never again will there come a rap group quite like the Madd Band. Madd Band represents an evolution of thought, artistry, and linguistic mastery, creating a musical, alchemic balance. Madd Band channels the voice of the New Age through their music, yet their wide ranging styles of material makes their music timeless.

For nearly a decade, the Madd Band, Joe Louis (J-nub a.k.a. Joey Backdraft) and Mitchell Marchand (Tommy Burns) have collaborated to write, produce, and perform unprecedented Hip-Hop music. With over 100 songs and beats cataloged, Burns and Backdraft are seasoned professionals. The dynamic rap duo have performed at several high profile venues and have rhymed over various tracks made by top industry producers, including Aftermath (Dr. Dre's label) tracks. In addition, both Madd Band members have respectable modeling/acting careers, appearing in several movies, T.V. shows, national ad campaigns (print & T.V.), and music videos between them. The professionalism of the two artists is a bonding agent for the overall relationship of the Madd Band and the key ingredient to success, as a unit.

With the release of their debut album, "The Yard Sale", the Madd Band will quickly secure their position in hip-hop as respected, talented, and diligent emcees that will rock over any beat in any given environment. Being a universal Hip-Hop group with no boundaries, Madd Band lyrics touch on everything the sun shines upon and beyond. With the various complementing styles that the two emcees possess, the incredible rhymes lay-up in the pockets of the phattest beats to make the listener know and understand, "It aint nuthin like Hip-Hop music".

Because both Madd Band group members have bi-coastal roots (New York born California residents), "The Yard Sale" has a variety of music ranging from "West Coast Baseline", to "East Coast Grime". The debut Madd Band project features flammable tracks produced by Lil' Daddy Shane (The Legendary Big Daddy Kane's little brother) and J-Nub (1 half of the Madd Band). As the beats break, Madd Band flips lyrics in and out of the circular instrumentals, invoking true heads to "break they !@$)%!!# necks". The phat beats and rhymes, combined with live music and clever skits, guarantees that the Madd Band's debut CD, "The Yard Sale", and all following Madd Band projects will fulfill any fans musical cravings.

The Madd Band's future will be filled with representational rap music, sold-out concerts, platinum plaques, and best of all, independence. Beats and rhymes are constantly produced and all material will eventually be heard by the masses. "Burns, Backdraft, REDEYEZ its all the same, when we come through, we true to bring the pain; Burns Backdraft, MADD BAND's the new name, when we come through we true to Bring The Flame
