This weeks featured artist on NX2SHINE is comin outta the T-Dot – Tha Rex to be exact. The many faces of Kolor Brown can be seen as he is one of the most versatile artists/producers i have nhad the pleasure to work with. His deep soulful voice rooted in Reggae, Hip-Hop and RnB bring a unique flavour to his music. I can wait for KB 2 blow up! which I predict will be soon and look out for his collaborative project with his group Crown A Thornz who will also be featured on NX2SHINE very soon!

KOLOR BROWN AKA BLACK LUNG

Kolor Brown is the definitive contemporary soul artist whose music has evolved through struggle, experience and experimentation. His distinct & beautiful voice takes you to times & places in memory and his stories are spacewalks through love, pain, angst, & triumph. Trained in visual & performance arts, Kolor Brown has been living music since he was able to harmonize his first note in the church choir. He has worked with some of this generations most talented musicians over the years allowing him to develop his talent as a singer, song writer, composer & producer.

For Kolor Brown, Art is about the essence of a time, more than the artists themselves. There is the Soul movement of the 60s & 70s journeyed by greats like Curtis Mayfield, Marvin Gaye and Al Green, that represented a time of the Black struggle in America. The Reggae movement that brought forth the Jamaican essence with artists like, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Dennis Brown. Then there is the swagger of the Hip Hop movement; the cry and expression of the inner city youth who created their own way and forced the system to feel their struggle. All these experiences have laid the backdrop to his sound & music.

In 2005 Kolor Brown was featured on Rochester aka Juices A New Day that garnered heavy national rotation on radio & video, including a nomination for Best Rap video at the 2005 MMVAs. That summer also saw the successful release of his first EP titled The Kolor Brown Project and a sold out show at Revival featuring an 8 piece band. Kolor Brown has performed in venues all over Toronto including the historic Opera House, the original Bamboo, & the ACC.

Kolor Brown is now 1/3 of a new creative collective called CROWN A’ THORNZ with fellow members J-Wyze & Eklipz. They are currently in studio working on their debut collaborative effort scheduled for release at the end of this year.

Greetings!

Story time!

Dancehall artist Ice Black is originally from

Portmore, Jamaica, but moved to Canada

some years ago. As a yute, Ice and his friends

converted cardboard boxes into make-believe

sound systems, and for effect, used caps from

toothpaste tubes to replicate the knobs on a

system console. With hair brush in hand, Ice

DJ’d lyrics, while his bredrin held down the

sound!

Super producer Ron Allen, as in the multi

genre specialist (House, R&B, Hip Hop, Metal

etc.) is endorsing Ice Black and his newest single

“My Girl” featuring Steve Jlin. “Natasha,

this kid has it – you have to come down to the

studio!” Off I went, and sure enough, it is really

it! Label execs agree, but you know what I say;

nothing is stamped until my DJ’s say so!

The chune “My Girl” combines smooth R&B with

Dancehall where Ice and Jlin talk about their girl

and just how special she is.

KO "Let's Blaze"

Blazin’ Music

Published September 07, 2009

http://www.divine.ca/en/fun-and-entertainment/editors-picks/c_285_i_4257/iblazin-imusic-1.html

After stints in rehab and living on the streets in his teens, we’re sure that Ko has had many a life experience to write and sing about in his latest album, Let’s Blaze. The Toronto artist’s unique genre doesn’t fit into any particular category, as it ranges from rock and folk to hip-hop and urban beats, making for an eclectic sound. Our fave songs include “Mountains” and the first single, “Capable”.
