Rise of the Revolution

Hip Hop / Progressive / Indie

Santa Cruz, CA

Billboard

The fierce duo collaboration between rapper, The Prophet, and producer, Nima Fadavi came about in early 2006. At the time, The Prophet was signed to CMe, Avatar, and Universal records, and had just finished his first major label release, "Sworn In," when he was beginning to work on his second. Bringing in Nima to produce a few songs, the two began working more and more together. The beats Nima produced had a strong hip hop influence, but also brought in different elements of reggae, and carried a unique original style that blended multiple genres. The distinctive, fast, catchy rapping style of The Prophet seemed to form perfectly to the beats.

Shortly after, The Prophet decided to end his contract with CMe, Avatar, and Universal records and pursue working on a full project with Nima. Both individuals, already accomplished musicians, seemed to have no problems getting their new project on its feet.

Rise of the Revolution is music that speaks the truth, with strong political lyrics, backed by catchy, creative, and original sounding beats. Music that touches on every emotion and encourages standing up for what you believe in. Although influenced by many different artists in many different genres, the two have seemed to find their own unique hip hop sound.

The live performance that has been regarded as loud, powerful, and rowdy, the two seem to always feel comfortable on stage. The Prophet emceeing while Nima plays keyboards and the beats live, they often bring their friend eSik along as a hype man, and their other friend Mike Pinette as a live drummer to play drums on top of the beats. Collectively and individually, they've shared the stage with Murs, Pep Love, Xzibit, Twista, Pitbull, J Kwon, Dub C, and many more.

Their debut album "Never Stand Down," is set to be released in August of 2007 under their own label, Eclectic Sound Recordings. Drawing strong live instrumentation on the album, it also combines hard hitting drums with tracks that have everything from a dark symphonic feel to tracks that have a upbeat bright feel. The album includes special guest appearances from The Grouch of Living Legends, eSik of 40831, and many more.

The focus of Rise of the Revolution is to pursue creative music as a form of art with a positive message. The music is the sounds for life and being true. Speak out, rise up, and stand. We are our own movement. We are the Rise of the Revolution.
