Bio:

The C.E.S. Crew (Crimson Eye Society, pronounced "sess cru") is a hip-hop group consisting of three emcees and their producer; hailing from Tampa Bay, Florida. The emcees; Soni Chiefa, Slick Worthington, RahSkilz, and producer Aknocka have all been friends since childhood and this group is the culmination of their musical dreams. The C.E.S.'s sound can be described as underground hip-hop with some hardcore rap undertones and their music has been compared to the Alkaholiks, De La Soul, and even the Goodie Mob with an up north feel.
The group's origin begins around 2002 when longtime friends Aknocka and Soni Chiefa collaborated on their first demo LP 40's & Blunts, which was released as an independent project in Charlotte, NC. In 2003 the duo was joined by RahSkilz (Soni's brother) and began work on their sophomore LP Hen & Dro. The release of Hen & Dro was halted due to family problems seperate from the group and only a small number of unmastered copies where released to the public. In 2004 the trio moved to Tampa Bay, Florida and reunited with Slick Worthington, the fourth member of the C.E.S. Crew. Slick had been busy the passed years developing his weekly hip-hop radio show on 1520am Hawk Radio (Hillsborough Community College Radio), and through his diligent networking, he created an inset local fanbase. The C.E.S. quickly finished work on their third LP the C.E.S. Crew Demo 2005 and released it at the 2nd Annual Tampa Music Conference presented by Benton Records in June of 2005.
Due to their hardwork, love for the art, and networking; the C.E.S. Crew has managed to gather a fanbase in a short amount of time. They have shows scheduled monthly all around the Tampa Bay area and recieve radio airplay on college radio in the same area. Their music can be found on various websites such as: www.soundclick.com/cescrew, www.myspace.com/cescrew, www.mediakinesis.com/cescrew, www.wegotnext.net/cescrew and www.garageband.com/cescrew. The lead single "It'll Be Alright" off the C.E.S. Crew Demo 2005 was featured on the 2nd Annual Tampa Music Conference Compilation Album, which was distributed to all who attended the conference. The crew is currently dropped their fourth release Cessions: Vol. 1 The Mixtape, a compilation album showcasing themselves as well as some of central Florida's hottest local artists. This project is scheduled to hit the public in October 2005.
The C.E.S. Crew hopes to continue to entertain and grow to become a beacon for what is really good about real hip-hop music; expression. Threw dedication and respect for the art it's their goal to continue to produce quality music to the best of their abilities while remaining true to themselves and their message.
