I come from Staten Island but I live in the Bronx. I make real that Hip-Hop music so listen to my tracks and get my cd The Last Of A Dying Breed in May 2007. I also produce beats so if you need some get at me at bdokeefe@gmail.com .
Why this name?
It comes from the Fifth Monarchy Men who believed that Jesus and his saints would rule over Earth. They began a movement against all government until many of their preachers where arrested and had to find new ways of helping their movement. I chose the name 5 King to say that Jesus is king.
Do you play live?
Not yet
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it easier for new sounds to be heard. It is good in somes ways but most of the new sounds are incredibly whack.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Yessird..But I want to own one for myself
Band History:
I began writing rhymes when I was like 8 years old. When I got older I started to take music more seriously but I couldn't find any producers to get any beats from. So I asked my brother who makes beats to teach me how to. I ended up making beats for 6 years until I finally got my first microphone and started recording. Once I got used to it I decided to rhyme about more meaningful things instead of what I heard all the time on the radio. I decided to focus on less violent and more religous Hip-Hop.
