Xcellent is one of the many talented emcees in the Central New York area. The up and coming mainstream and underground sound of the CNY is beginning to reach full steam. Along with local artists such as Seth Marcell, Kadia Songs, Diamond Ricelli, DJ Illmatic, DJ Swift, DJ Dream, and in house producer extraordinaire Ant Woods, Xcellent is poised to take the rap scene to another level.

Band/artist history

I have been affiliated with the local production teams for about 5 years. I have done collaborations and been included on quite a few local mix tapes (DJ Illmatic's HISS2 and F** A Dollar and A Dream). I am currently working on my 3rd album release(produced by HalfWay House Ent). I have an in-house studio available to all positive emcees (free of charge). I love to rhyme, network, and produce. I think sharing information is vital. We eat together or we starve together. I choose against the latter.

Have you performed in front of an audience?

I have done live shows at the Third Rail in Cortland, the now defunct Frozen Paradise in Atlanta, GA., The TajMahal in Raleigh, NC., Hammerjack's in BMore, MD., and battled in numerous cities across the US.

Your musical influences

Stevie, Janis, Phoebe, the Temps, Michael J (pre nose-job), Phil Collins, Boots Randolf, Count Bassie, Dizzy, Ella, Mary Wells, Frankie Lyman, Jay Z, Rakim, Premiere, Dr. Dre, QJones, Siedah Garrett, the list is almost infinite.

What equipment do you use?

MPC2000, Kurzweil Keyboard, AudioTechnica Microphones, Alesis monitors, Soundforge, Sonar, Cool Edit, Technic1200's, and we update and import..looking to purchase the MacG5 (early August), ProTools coming in late July. WHEW!!

Anything else?

Keeping heads up for any artist looking for beats, collabos, studio time, production, positive feedback or just to network their gifts. It's all freeware with us. Streets is about loyalty. Look out for Queens BPA's super group Been Official and Emcee Nils. Catch there new tracks here ...coming soon!
