Search - DJ Piklz :: Off the Meatrack, Vol. 1

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: DJ Piklz Debut EP "Off the Meatrack?! Vol. 1" Packaged for Freshness As hip-hop has confined itself to sounding more and more like a played out record, a ground breaking, musically-sound producer has surfaced; with his attempt to conquer the Hip Hop industry through a unique, soulful style that has become lost to simple, empty beats. Enter Piklz - DJ/Producer extraordinaire? The highly anticipated debut album from DJ Piklz has arrived! Off the Meatrack?! Vol.1, the first of three in the series, takes you on a musical journey bringing together emcees and musicians from all over the world, and combining them with the production skills of a 19-year-old New Jersey-bred prodigy. Since the young age of 12, DJ Piklz has been composing songs and in 2001, at 15, he formed his own label 98 Proof Recordings, producing straight Hip Hop and R+B. Now, after achieving numerous awards, recognition through national media outlets, and recently being proclaimed as ?Producer of the Month' by Philly's own DJ Meddafore (Crowned #1 for 4 years straight, www.meddafore.com), DJ Piklz raises the bar for the overflow of dime-a-dozen producers in the game. Off the Meatrack?! Vol. 1 showcases Piklz's versatility as a producer, mixing it up with murderous bangers of fire to more commercially pleasing grooves. Adding elements of his background of jazz, funk, and even a little bit of rock via live guitar and sax solos, to piano solos (composed and played by Piklz himself) his album is sure to immunize him from being labeled and confined to one genre of music, but in turn merging many styles to create classics, which has become DJ Piklz's signature sound. Stretching the limitations by bringing a more musically composed feel to evolve a new era of Hip Hop, it can be said that Off the Meatrack?! Vol. 1 is one of the most cutting-edge production debuts to emerge this year, representing the East Coast Underground. With volume 1 being a preset to! what's in store from this up and coming producer, the consistency of the album lays the foundation for making DJ Piklz a prominent name in the game and putting his label on the map. The name says it all?. It doesn't get any fresher than this! Off the Meatrack?! Vol. 1 features appearances by 98 Proof artists GLO, Nablidon, Hi-Caliber, and Little Italy as well as guest appearances by Q-Unique, Substantial, Oktober Zero, Faezone, Des Devious and more!
