Album Notes

Juice Lee (born Fred McKinstry) is a Hip Hop Emcee whose style is defined by creative wordplay and the ability to capture and entertain his audience. His rhymes go beyond a catchy hook over a good beat and offer the listener something to think about. His lyrics are drawn from real experiences and not fabricated images of success. "Juice Lee has the lyrical ability to paint a picture with his rhymes and most young adults can relate their experiences to that picture – so the music touches them on a deeper level" –Hannah (513k'nect)

Juice Lee starting rapping at the age of 12 and made a name for himself free-styling (improvisational rhyming - a sign of a real Emcee) during battles at Cincinnati's original hip hop club, TopCats. Since then, he has demonstrated that he can hold any audience captive from the moment he steps to a mic, to the moment he drops it without the need of anyone adlibbing in the background. "I've watched Juice Lee evolve into what a real MC is. He defiantly has to tools to leave a lasting impression in the Hip-Hop World. "-Skandal da Ruckus Man. He is currently wrapping up the production of his second album, Metanoia, for its release in january 2008.

Juice Lee is a lyricist and a performer; but he is also a class clown, a comic book nerd, and every girl's best friend. He jokingly touts himself as "the lame kid from the burbs" because he has not sacrificed his art and creativity to appeal to what's "popular". He has remained true to his motto: no money, no images, just a little bit of pain and a lot of good music.
