701z

The Dawn of the Super Human Emcees - 701z It’s winter 1994, Hip-Hop was at a creative height, Wu-Tang Clan’s “36 Chambers” was in every true hip-hoppers deck, backpackers are every where you look and everyone and their mother is writing rhymes. It was a time when the hip-hop nation was being introduced to more new faces and sounds. At this time a Chesapeake High School senior, Eric Atwell a.k.a. D.J. Kool Breez, was making a name for himself as a powerful force in the Baltimore hip-hop scene. Between mixing at every party, doing beats for all his boys, he was meeting a lot of rhymers. But none would catch his attention more than the new kid in school. He went by the name Mr. Slow-Flow a.k.a. Kenny Catchings. The 17 year old, self-proclaimed greatest rapper in B-More, was always battling some one. Now DJ Kool Breez couldn’t help but notice his skills. Breez recalls, “This cat has skills and I never heard him lose”. But before DJ Kool Breez could work with him, Kenny transferred out of Chesapeake. 3 years later at Unruly Recording Studios, where DJ Kool Breez was working as an in house producer and studio engineer, Kenny and his 16-year-old brother Lewis Wright a.k.a. Scorpion came in for studio time. Kenny was still crushing every so-called rapper in his path as well as jump-starting his bother's career in “the game”. With complete access to a 24-track digital studio Kenny, now Snypa, and DJ Kool Breez were constantly turning out new joints every day. Scorpion was holding it down in Florida where he was living at the time. “He would fly up on weekends to do sessions”, said Kenny. Scorpion graduated and moved up to B-more so that 701z could be born. Now the three young men would really crack down and turn out some serious material. They worked long and hard to put together a package that would take not the public but the industry by storm. After being laid off at Unruly Recording Studios from lack of funding, DJ Kool Breez took on odd jobs trying to support his love for music and love for life. He soon met up with a neophyte to the music industry who convinced Kool Breez that her business savvy and his music savvy would be a symbiotic mix. With much planning Breez and Mama G started ScorCap Entertainment. The entertainment company was devised in order to foster the music talent that brewed within Kool Breez and his circle emcees. So in 2002 Kenny “Snypa” Catchings adopted the name Kano and Lewis “Scorpion” Wright changed his name to Mike Manson to form a diabolical mix called 701z. Now the new brand of emcees will reign supreme. Now 2003 has arrived and 701z finished their first album called “Superior Tactics”. This album will show all that 701z is polished and ready to take the industry by storm. The Super Human Breed Of Emcees, The 701z. The Name Will Live On.

Kano - “NO ONE CAN DO IT BETTER!” Kano is a nemesis to every hot artist out right now. The reason why? He has the ability to do what they can do plus more. With the flare of L.L. Cool J. and the lyrical ability of Nas, it is guaranteed that the day will come that Kano will be a household name. Kano AKA Mr. Kinkade began rapping as a kid at the age of thirteen. Even though he was a neophyte to the rap industry, Mr. Kinkade was a certified hot fire by everyone he came in contact with. Not knowing where the game would take him, he started to do shows thru out the Charm City. He gained a lot of respect by showcasing his ability to flow, but gained notoriety by ripping M.C.’s who claimed to be the best. Years went by and Kano’s progress as a local artist grew and so did his skills. Now as we look ahead to the vast opportunities of the new millennium, we can include Kano as an artist who’s heart doesn’t stop beating to the music in his head. He is one of the illest in the Baltimore Hip Hop Community and has earned the respect to have the title of 701z Super Human Breed of M.C.’s. Mic Manson - “BEEN THROUGH SOME CHANGES, MADE SOME REARRANGES, BUT EVEN AFTER ALL THAT THE FLOW IS STILL DANGEROUS,” This verse from Kano’s “Hard Steal (Remix)” says it all. The young rap villain has come a long way since he first began to rap at the early age of nine. With music running though his bloodline, he knew his skills would entertain even the hardest M.C. Encouraged by his older brother and mentor, KANO, to pick up the pen and pad Mic Manson, AKA Mr. Manson soon began formulating witty rhymes into lyrical masterpieces. Under his brother’s wings he was first put on a track at the age of twelve. As Mr. Manson began to venture out he was faced with a lot of confrontation. No fists of fury were used in these street battles, but cunning words of a young artist ready to punish unknown M.C.’s. Mr. Manson is a verbal battler whose lyrics smash the competitors. He is also one of the illest in the Baltimore Hip Hop Community and has earned the respect and right to be the second half of 701z Super Human Breed of M.C.’s. DJ Kool Breez - From the “40 Beats for 40 Mics” fame DJ Kool Breez (AKA Count Track) has been producing for Baltimore Cats since the mid 80’s. His tracks are reminiscent of DJ Premier and he continues to maintain the ability to produce masterpieces. Known in the Baltimore Hip Hop Community as DJ Kool Breez, he started in the music industry as a Baltimore Club DJ/Producer and currently has a rep for being an Old School Hip Hop DJ. As DJ Kool Breez, he helped to produce tracks for Kano’s first release “Hot Sh*t”, Alley Kats “Hand and Glove” and “Choose Your Weapon” Single Record Release and Madd Intalec’s “Flowers in the Attic” Release. Breez has his eye on the gold (or the platinum) and won’t stop until he gets heard. DJ Kool Breez has worked with Chief Rocker Busy Bee as his local Old School DJ and has performed all over the tri-state area. His style and finesse is what compliments the 701z combo and allows the three of them to push forward in the new millennium.

Our 2004 - Sampler Review Storm the Unpredictable emailed to ScorCapMama@hotmail.com - Mon April 19, 2004 Ty-She Entertainment, Washington DC TEL: 202-736-3788 Email: q.storm@juno.com The "Do You Feel It" sounds like something I'd be pumping with the top down cruisin U St., Georgetown, or out in front of a club, (if I had a drop top, LOL) BUT, then I heard Liquid Heat. I loved everything about that one. The energy of the track and mc's, their delivery of their flows, their ad-libs, everything. I'm looking forward to hearing more from them. Just keep me updated on the single release party.
