Editor's review
As half of Cannibal Ox, Vordul Mega has earned a reputation for spreading mentally complex lyrics over dark underground beats. The street-savvy saga continues on the New York MC's solo endeavor. A skilled mic technician, he carves swarthy vocal imprints into billowing beats, which come courtesy of such up-and-coming hip-hop producers as Belief, Blockhead, Ruddy Rock, and the Prof.
Biography
Best known for being one half of the incredible group Cannibal Ox and a member of the Atoms Family, Vordul Mega is far from an ordinary MC. Vordul is the epitome of the new breed of street mic specialist with his smooth flow and vivid descriptions of urban life. Heads that heard Ox's critically acclaimed debut in 2001, Cold Vein, could grasp what Vordul is fully capable of. However, he was only getting warmed up. Today, Vordul gears up for The Revolution of Young Havoks, his first solo project on Nature Sounds. Production on the album is shared by a host of east coast up and comers, including Belief, Blockhead, Ruddy Rock, and The Prof. Vordul's influences vary from rock and roll to old school hip-hop of the eighties. Most of all, he was influenced by what he saw on a daily basis living in Harlem, NY. All of his experiences on the streets combined with his flawless ability of story telling are the sum and substance of Vordul's style and the focal point of his new solo project. Prior to entering the rap game as Vordul Mega, he devoted his time to comic books, creating his own comic world complete with scripts and character development. Having the ability to tell stories with words inspired him to pick up a pen and write rhymes at the age of 13 while living in what is known as hip-hop's golden age. "It's like dropping bombs from spaceships" Vordul explains of his approach to music. "The spaceship is unknown, it's some shit you don't know, but the bomb is some shit you know and understand." If a listener wants to find real hip-hop, they need to look no further than Vordul. The Revolution of Yung Havoks drops November 2, 2004. TRACKLISTING: 1. Neva Again • Produced by Opto 2.
