Album Notes

The ubiquitous prejudgment of the epidemic of inadequate Hip Hop in the South is now defunct. Euphonetiks, a Hip hop crew from New Orleans, is changing the omnipresent view of Southern based hip hop. With members and affiliates from North Louisiana, Washington D.C., Minnesota, and Philly, the diversity among this crew is unparalleled by any other crew. Each member appends his own style to the crew to collectively concoct a "Syncretic Excellence."

Euphonetiks spawned from a vision by Dillard University's own Pleon and Lyrikill, the leaders of the crew. After what seemed an incessant turbulence and instability within the crew with other members in and out, the two picked up Zach, a producer/ emcee from D.C. The chemistry, although composed of different styles, gave the Euphonetiks "syncretic" sound that meshed perfectly.

The three began collaborating with other emceez within reach. For example, Pleon founded the Caterpillar Village, after fate caused an incredible collision between him, Primevyl (Shreveport) and Akira (Minnesota). The three of them bring a more abstract approach to paint a mosaic of coping with life's hardships.

Lyrikill and Zach, together combine to bring back the original boom-bap that has been lacking in Southern hip hop. Zach (20) has been producing since the age of 13, and his incredible sound is evident of the dedication to the culture.

Pleon and Lyrikill (congriis) are probably the most different in style, but have managed find the "0" on the pH balance scale. Pleon, more on the abstract side of things, speaks of his experiences in an obscure manner.
"I jostle through a hostile forest and forced a tree to leave/ just to manifest my push and pull of nature's sleeve."

The production of the "syncretic" sound is handle by Zach, Lyrikill and Mr. (E)laborate, Pleon's alter ego. Confidential about what equipment is used to create the music, the "Euphies" believe that the extraordinary quality of the music is what's important.

Euphonetiks has a lot of things forthcoming. Sick Muse Entertainment, now Eupham Multimedia is operated independently by Lyrikill and Pleon, and as they gain more recognition there's no doubt people will appreciate their sound.
