Feb 27, 2010 Add comment Night @ Jae Mayes So last night iD & Khi linked up with Jae Mayes and hit up his studio.As we all know(if you didn't ,well now you know) Jae Mayes hosts every Tuesday night @ Crown Pub with DJ's Frank Browm &Sholin!And being that LRT are regulars why not get them on a mixtape that Crown Pub is putting out to showcase the Tuesday nights they have going on!! The mixtape track got done real quick as Khiry spit an unknown verse to anyones ears yet,just ya'll wait delievering his gritty,raspy style,but with metphors and hiddens meanings,and catch 22 yet smooth flow.iD laced the track next with,thought out revolutionary tactics in the rhyme and pin point motivating flow of upliftment!Jae recording everything and making sure them kids sound right. The next big thing is the fullout track in production from these 3 Cats.Picked out from a stack of Jae Mayes' beats was this one 60's heartfelt sample and love song of soul for HER.The song is called "Heaven must Have..." We can't wait for this song to come out and drop it,we're gonna take all ya'll back on this one!!Real, real pretty song on the rise! Crown Pub mixtape due out in April and hopefully we can perform "Heaven must Have..." on the 13th of March @ Wolly Bullies when Jae Mayes & Shaw Langley open for LRT!!!We'll see,you'll hear Feb 27, 2010 Add comment Poerty Slam!

Locution: a type of/or stlyle of speech... Revolution: a drastic or dramatic overthrowing or change.Coming together November of 2006, these showmen can be mistaken for superheroes, or cowboys, and also played with by many as action figures. iD, Khi-Guy, and DJ Budakron. They spanned the globe musically from Rap to Folk, over to Reggae, and forward with Soul and beyond. iD raps and harmonizes on the harmonica, while Khiry raps / sings harmony while dancing with his signature "Kain", while DJ Budakron compliments the flow with cuts of energy while caught in the moment! They have traveled throughout Western Canada and have become known as show stealers, because of their antics, dancing, crowd interaction, and no lack of skills. They are sure to impress any music lover! Opening for the likes of the Genius (GZA), Kirby Dominant, Ira Lee! "WALK TALL" -1st Quarter of 2010 "WALK TALL" is the name of the debut album from the *LR TRIO* due out early 2010(Mar-April).The album is infused with uplifting honest lyrics,motivating melodies,and soul peircing anthems."WALK TALL" does just that!Main production by one of Alberta's best :Jon Dubs whom sets the pace for the ride as *LRT* drives forward towards their destination.Bobby Girth and Kaz Mega lend thier talents to the"WALK TALL" project as well. With iD's country grammer and wisdom beyond his years,Khiry leading the charge on hooking the listener(s) on the hooks in many varieties-n- styles,and finally getting to hear DJ Budakron on the 1's and 2's with them samples and scratches! This album will show the standard that LR live and strive for.Putting Canada on notice,an album like "WALK TALL" hasn't come along in a very long time.Sure to be a classic:"WALK TALL"(The 3rd release on the *Locution Revolution* records)stands to be the breakthrough album for the TriCultural bandmates! The 1st single off the album is called LRT(Locution Revolution Train)(already getting play on CJSR-88.5 FM:request LRT to played) and MORE singles lined up to come such as :Galaxy Headphones,On the Way,Boogaloo(4 2010),Pumkin Pie,Musical Kiss,Called her Hip Hop,the Revolution is coming so WALK TALL!!! "Futurisic Space Chronicles & Oddysseys" Vol.1 -mid 2010 Mid-late 2010 the sophmore album intitled:"Futurisic Space Chronicles & Oddysseys" Vol.1. Produced entirely by Curbside and featuring songs with some of the West's most sought after artist's such as Kaz Mega, CreeAzn, DJ Heywoodjablome, ReDef, Elle Dirty D, AOK, and Ethik 9.Watch out as 2010 is set for change thru Revolution...LOCUTION REVOLUTION!!! Here are some thoughts and views about LR: "*Locution Revolution* is like cold ice cream on a hot summers day" -Katrina Bray (President and Chair of Heart of the City Festival) *"Locution Revolution* is a progressive Hip-Hop trio whose lyrics remind us of a time when songs were imaginative. With the creation of their annual, Hip-Hop In The Park, *Locution Revolution* has shown their journey in music will not only include making great songs, but building community around them simultaneously." -Arlo Maverick (Music for Mavericks, Politic Live, CJSR) "They happen to be a couple of the hardest-working cats in the Edmonton scene, with multiple projects on the go." -Kevin Maimann, (Edmonton Sun) "Tafari and his musical partner/producer iD (Locution Revolution) are known for bringing a bit of surreal flair to their live performances" -Francois Marchand, (Edmonton Journal) "These guys been holding it down 'round here for a minute. A hard working independent fusion of soul blues reggae and Hip Hop." -Shortop (DJ, guest-host on Rapcity) "*Locution Revolution's iD, Khiry Tafari and DJ Budarkon are a tri-cultural musical recipe representing the progressive evolution in Canadian Hip Hop. With revolutionary songs geared in the KRS One direction which entwine the hopefulness of Bob Marley and mix in the heaviness heard by Johnny Cash,this Edmonton collective etched out and concreted a new wave of music – western Hip Hop.I anticipate their soon-to-be third release to be breaking both sound and geographical boundaries." -Melissa Bishop(Freelance Writer,L+P Productions,Promoter) "Locution Revolution's performance/stage show is high energy, thought provoking rhymes, and it doesn't matter if its crowds of 200 or 1000, They always give the same professional performance." -DJ Heywood (DJ & Promoter) "Locution Revolution* is a shining example of the creative Hip Hop coming out of Edmonton. they know how to rock the stage and entertain a crowd! Khiry, iD and Budakron are fresh!" -Vlad (Peoples Poets, Co-Founder & Owner of Solidaritees) "LR's music has something for everyone; they are not your average musicians. This is evident when you attend one of their live shows; the audience is made up of people that are different ages, styles and musical tastes." -Stef Torres(Founder & Owner of "In 3's Tees") The highlights of such festivals and conferences such as: -Inspiring Education (Edmonton AB 2009) -Heart of the City (Edmonton AB 2009, 2008, 2007) -Summer Fling (Saskatoon SK 2008) -Hip Hop in the Park (Edmonton AB 2009,2008) -The Works Festival - Sweaty Ball (Edmonton AB 2009, 2008) -Green Square Festival (Hinton AB 2008) Seen on CityTV, Breakfast Television (Edmonton, Calgary) Magazines and Newspapers; -Curbside (Edmonton) -BeatRoute (Edmonton) -Metro (Edmonton) -24hrs (Edmonton). http://199.71.40.195/edmontonjournal/news/culture/story.html?id=1cfb3370-649f-4f05-a5a2-5838e88851ea http://www.journalexpress.com/podcast/soundcheck/sound_check66.mp3. http://www.metronews.ca/edmonton/local/article/241886--festival-brings-out-city-s-heart#commentbox http://www.beatroute.ca/view_archived_article.php?id=30&sectionID=14&articleID=1015 http://5thelementcfwe.podomatic.com/entry/2009-02-18T07_39_44-08_00
