- NOTES
Rezofficial is a collaboration of A-list, hi-profile
Aboriginal M.C.s. Their first album with Arbor Records,
The Foundation is hardcore, mind-rattling hip hop/rap at
itÆs strongest; killer lyrics laid down with slick beats,
this album is without a doubt one of the hottest this
fall! The Foundation is 20 tracks of heat featuring some
of todayÆs most recognized artists in the Canadian hip
hop/rap field including: Hellnback (formerly with War
Party), Dro, L's-Aqui, Big Slim, Tomislav, Slangblossom
and Wab of Dead Indians.
The birth of Rezofficial is the culmination of events that
began in late 2002. Big Stomp had just left the hip hop
group "War Party" to concentrate on his own independent
production efforts. At the same time, J Mak (Jason
Makinaw) was honing his skills crafting beats for his
friend L's-Aqui (Cam Farley). Both producers started out
with very humble studio set-ups, but made the best with
what they had. It was at this time that while working on
separate demo projects, the two decided to team up and
move under the production umbrella "Rezofficial".
The duo quickly planned a compilation-style mixtape as
their introduction to the urban music industry. "HARD WORK
AND HUSTLE" was released as a showcase for their
production skills and to spotlight the talents of their
peers in the music industry, namely, Hellnback (formerly
Kool-Ayd The Chubby Cree)(Karmen Omeasoo), Big Slim (Nate
Joyner), JOHNNY JEEX and LUNACY of TRU REZ CREW, and
feisty newcomer Dro (Jeremy Manitopyes). The group of
producers and emcees clicked so well during the creation
of the first CD that forming a larger team was inevitable.
Over the next few months, the loosely-formed unit of
emcees and beat makers practically lived in their home
studio, finishing HELLNBACK's first solo EP "THEM CHIEF
WAHOO CAPS" at breakneck speed, and producing several
mixtapes in the process, thus garnering more and more
attention on and off the reserve. After a long "sit-down"
in February of 2004, REZOFFICIAL came to be. Big Stomp and
J Mak would be the primary beat-makers while solo artists
Hellnback, Dro, Big Slim, L's-Aqui, and Tomislav (Tomislav
Milardovic) would handle the emcee duties.
Now, with three successful independent releases under
their belts - "HARD WORK AND HUSTLE", Hellnback's "THEM
CHIEF WAHOO CAPS" EP, and the Rezofficial full length "THE
FOUNDATION" - Rezofficial is quickly becoming a force to
be reckoned with in the Canadian Urban Music Industry.
"THE FOUNDATION" - Team Rezofficial's latest release -
showcases the diverse style of each member of the team.
The purpose of it all is to showcase the producers and to
give talented emcees the opportunity to be heard. "THE
FOUNDATION" encompasses all this, crossing borders and
crushing boundaries in the process.
It's easy to hear the different life experiences that each
member of Team Rezofficial brings in the music that they
create. Hellnback, Big Stomp, and J Mak all hail from the
First Nations surrounding Hobbema, Alberta, while Dro
represents Saskatoon, Saskachewan/Calgary, Alberta. Then
there is Big Slim representing the streets of Pasadena,
California (USA), L's-Aqui holding it down for New
York/Ohio (USA), and Tomislav representing the gritty
streets of Winnipeg, Manitoba.
Capturing the essence of reservation life and mixed with
urban flavour, this is by far one of the best things to
come out of The Rez. REZOFFICIAL is the team and the team
is REZOFFICIAL.
