RED ONE  The Rascalz’s Red 1, Fit, and DJ Kemo have been the stuff of legend since their 1993 debut Really Livin. Over the past thirteen years and five albums, the critically acclaimed Van City crew has helped pioneer Canadian hip-hop. In the process, they have garnered numerous MuchMusic Video Awards, Urban Music Awards, certified Gold records, No. 1 singles on MuchMusic, and Juno Awards (they famously declined a Juno in 1998 to protest the show’s policy, which excluded urban music from the televised broadcast). With their “Northern Touch” anthem, the group united the country’s top talent—including Kardinal, Choclair, Thrust, and Checkmate— propelling hip-hop to the forefront of mainstream culture. The Rascalz’s community building initiatives are not just limited to music. In 2000, the group became involved with War Child (http://www.warchild.ca/)—a non-profit organization that assists children affected by war—and traveled to Sierra Leone to bear witness to the conditions there. Known for innovative beats (courtesy of resident producer DJ Kemo), fresh styles, varied subject matter, and a strong presence in Canadian hip-hop, The Rascalz’s name has become synonymous with ground-breaking music. And now Rascalz member Red 1 is breaking some ground of his own. The Van City MC is poised to drop his much-anticipated solo debut on his own recently founded Killawatt Records, to be distributed by Sony/BMG. He hopes that his Vancouver-based label will expose emerging talent of all genres, from across the country and abroad. Killawatt’s premier release is Red 1’s solo debut, titled Beg For Nothing. The disc gets its name from the emcee-turned-CEO’s motto for dealing with the Canadian music industry. This sense of determination infuses the entire project, burning the tracks with intensity. And while Beg For Nothing channels Red’s rebellious drive, it also highlights his many other sides. At turns playful, serene, and melancholic, the album’s emotional depth is striking. Stylistically, Red 1’s smooth flow is at its best, riding the beats with ease. The soundscapes—crafted by Red himself, along with DJ Kemo—are rich and dynamic, drawing on a wide-range of influences, including rock, funk, reggae, and R&B. Balancing scorching club tracks, car bangers, and soulful crib tunes, Beg For Nothing serves up something for everyone. |
