Release Notes:
Imagine a huge pot, mixed with the production versatility of Dr. Dre, the song
writing skills of Tupac, and seasoned with some down south and east coast
flavor. This is a dish any Hip-Hop fan would savor and enjoy. It is exactly what
Ike Barnes has cooking. Ike Barnes introduces a refreshing style of reality
hip-hop with head-banging beats and a charismatic flow that vividly depicts
urban life and the everyday struggle for success. These ingredients, coupled
with a true passion for music, are showcased in his debut album entitled, ..The
President... ..The President.. explains why he believes he can, and will bring
the music industry to DC. In an era where some critics say hip-hop is dead, Ike
Barnes is proof that a hip-hop resurgence is here.
As a natural born leader and the ruler of his own destiny, Ike plans to lead
D.C., Maryland, and Virginia to the forefront of the entertainment industry. For
these reasons, the album is appropriately titled, ..The President... Presidents
take on the responsibility of leading their people during a time of need. Ike
recognizes there is a need to bring the DC area out of the darkness and into the
light. He is now focused on building his team and accomplishing his dreams.
Ike is no stranger to hard work and has vehemently pursued his dream of becoming
a rap star for more than 10 years. At the age of 14, he worked hard and saved
enough money to purchase his first production workstation. He began producing
tracks for himself and other people in his hometown of Grand Rapids, Michigan.
He knew early on that music was the love of his life. After the death of his
father, he joined the military in 2001 to escape a life of poverty and
confusion. Ike devoted four years to the United States Marine Corps; serving his
country honorably and perfecting his leadership skills. During this time, Ike
never lost sight of his goal of becoming a recording artist as he worked
diligently honing his musical skills.
Ike's first duty station in the Marine Corps placed him in Washington, D.C.,
where he instantly fell in love with the city and made it his new home. D.C.
provided him with the perfect mix of everything he wanted out of life at the
time; the beautiful women; the high paying job market; and the busy, diverse
night life. Ike began working with other independent artists in the area trying
to perfect his production skills and gain more experience. Fed up with the work
ethic and lack of determination of other artists, he decided it was time for him
to charge of his own destiny.
