Never Faded Records...reppin K-Town and the rest of dirty South Carolina...
Band/artist history
The label consists of several very talented artists...Killa Man, Big Zek, Razor Lace, Jeff Dog, Cool Steve, and Killah G. In recent years, the hip hop world in general has overlooked the state of South Carolina as a source of talent for the industry. Never Faded Records was founded by Akili McClam (aka Big Cheif Killa) and Mary McFarlin in 2002 to remedy this situation. Based in Kingstree, SC, the talented artists behind Never Faded represent the best of what South Carolina Hip hop has to offer. While many other unsigned artists and independent labels in the state choose to emulate the sounds of New York and other states, NFR has always had a unique and truly "southern" sound from the first Carolina Cartel release on the label, "This is How We Do It" (2002), to 2003's "One Mo Gain", all the way up to their most recent release, M-Clan's "Blood's Thicker Than Water" (2005). The backbone of Never Faded's unique southern sound is it's very own in-house production team, N.F. Productions. Killaman (aka Big Cheif Killa) is a producer with a style all his own. With the ability to create styles ranging from bounce, hardcore hip hop, to R and B. With production on 6 lp's in the the last two years, Killaman definitely has the skills to pay the bills. Killah G joined Never Faded Records shortly after it's formation in 2002 and has contributed production on both Carolina Cartel albums as well as the newest M-Clan release. He has been doing music in one form or another for 15 years. His signature production sound incorporates elements of many genres of music. He is currently working on his solo debut. M-CLAN is comprised of four family members Big Cheif Killa, Razor Lace, Cool Steve, and Jeff Dog. Their debut lp, "Blood's Thicker than Water", details life in South Carolina from their point of view. The lp is uniuqe in many ways, and the overall sound is definitely new and fresh. They made it their point to not sound like anyone else, and to put out a style that no matter where you from people know that is music is from South Carolina. Presently we have severel projects in the works, Killaman's debut lp, "The Cheif", is scheduled for June 2005 release. Lace's (Razor Lace) solo R and B LP (not title as yet) is scheduled for August 2005. M-CLAN's "Blood's Thicker Than Water Pt.2" is also scheduled for August 2005. Killah G's debut, "Diablo" should be released somtime late in the year.
Anything else?
Be on the lookout in early 2005 for solo albums from Big Zek, Killa man, Razor Lace. M-Clan's CD, Bloods Thicker Than Water, is out now on Never Faded Records.
