First Illawear concepts in full swing

Schematik general One5 is about to embark on another venture with his new clothing label Illawear. The first designs are currently being put together for T-Shirts and fitted caps, release dates and all relevant information will be issued at a latter date. The Elemental series designs are in full swing, these prints are inspired by urban culture and hopefully production will start once all connections have been made solid. Expect traditional street ideas, effective simplicity, quality merchandise and eye catching art. Watch over the Tomb in order to stay updated with progress, 100% Kiwi independence on deck... lets keep it official.

Prepare for Rhythm & Rhyme: The Mash Up

Live music in Auckland city needs a revival and this is the event to breathe life back into a somewhat dormant scene. Created with intention to fill that void, we decided to form Rhythm & Rhyme: The Mash Up. This is a hip-hop/reggae jam session hosted by yours truly with professional sound selectors DJ Locksteady and The1LikeFurious at the helm. If you're popping around Khuja Lounge on Thursday 10th of March it's integral to drop in for the simple fact there's NO admission fee. Open mic available for MC's, bring your crew for a drink... lets bring back real music and enforce change. 

Crash Kawse out NOW!

The wait is finally over! After 13 months of grinding and hard work, Schematik Entertainment is proud to present my NEW promotional album entitled Crash Kawse. The project is a basic guideline to writing formation, lyrical skill and hip-hop culture with production from One5, B-Boy Enea (Torino, Italy), Kase from LCA and Imp-Data (Brooklyn, NYC). From a substancial point of view, this package in its entirety is a documentary on the life and times of 5th Chyld told through the abstract art of rhyme and delivery. Tracks like "Concrete Rose" provoke the listener into taking a trip into urban history while "For Beats Sake" brings about the concept of unity in NZ hip-hop and the importance of enjoying oneself. Whatever your preference in rap, Crash Kawse looks to cover all bases with raw joints infused with authentic feel good flavors. Listen to the militant "Street Lamps" now streaming in the media player below, download the LP free of charge at http://www.5thchyld.bandcamp.com/ and please keep supporting independent hip-hop music.
