E LoCo (FLIP)

Eric Morante, also known as "E Loco", took Hip Hop to the next step. At a young age, he was raised by his African American step-dad, Repo Ric, who was a producer in California. With many artists coming to the studio, young Eric became friends with all of them as he listened to them while they were in a studio session. Never did anyone know that Eric himself, would cause a major movement and pursue his greatest dream.

With a formation of a music group with his bestfriend and partner, Lamont; the next step to the music industry was within their grasp. Their first hit song, "Don't Give Up" that was released in 2005 caused a lot of attention from listeners throughout New Jersey. That didn't stop the evolution, as Eric took the time to improve on his delivery.

Eric's hit song "Just Go Wid It" showed just how much he was improving and it represented that any person with dreams could achieve what they want. Where was he going with this? "I think spitting from the top of my head, as training. Most of all though, I believe my "potential" lyrically and deliverance is even more training," he said in a post in one of his blogs.

While out in Alaska, he was separated from his partner, but also used to the time to perfect and improve to bring out the game we know and love. After three years, Eric comes back to New Jersey and re-unites with Lamont, but was things the same? Things drastically pushed off the ground, as they recorded their next big hit, "All I Need." The song spreaded like wild fire and represented that "New Edge" was definitely a name that was made for them. "I loovvveee your song All I Need," says one girl on their music myspace.

If things continue, we can see Eric and Lamont going to big places. Be sure to see their next album, as we look at the dream Eric has held at young age accomplished.
