CHECK 1, 2, AND IT DON'T STOP ! THESE ARE THE ANCIENT WAR CRIES OF THOSE WHO CAME BEFORE US, WE ARE EVER MINDFUL, THANKFUL, AND HUMBLE.....VINTAGE ELEMENTZ CAN BURN WITHOUT HEAT AND FREEZE WITHOUT COLD. WE ARE THE PROGNOSIS FOR THE SICKNESS, WE ARE THE HEART AND SOUL OF THE CURE.....VINTAGE IS SOMETHING RESPECTED TRIED AND TESTED, ELEMENTS ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL BUILDING BLOCKS......I write,arrange,and produce Hip Hop music


Why this name?
It was a logical choice....EYE wanted to reflect what the essence of MY sound is.
Do you play live?
Specializing in (makeshift) studio production
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
By putting the power into the hands of the Artists, where it should be...
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
EYE am a businessman. If it's to my advantage.
Band History:
In terms of producing music EYE started back in 1991 with an independent effort primarily based in Philadelphia. Hip Hop has always been my strong suit and constant evolving lead me to change my sound several times and in 1999 EYE moved to Pittsburgh for a while where EYE was signed with a now defunct indie label Dogg Em' Out Records. EYE decided then to focus on exclusively producing music and began to grow as an artist. EYE branched out solo since
then and had dedicated a huge portion of my time and talent to the various communities EYE lived in by making music for kids who showed interest in Hip Hop music but also had a love and respect for the culture as a whole, giving them an outlet to express themselves positively.
