At first glance, 21 year old, Alec Koenen may look like a typical 6” 1’ guy from Minnesota. But spend 15 min with Alec and you’ll soon learn he’s stirred with an undying passion for hip hop and a student of the game. At 10 years old, young Alec spent his days reciting lyrics and beat boxing. He’s inspired by the the flow and delivery of artists like Nas, Big Daddy Kane, Ras Kass & groups like Little Brother and the Low Budget Crew. Alec prides himself in sticking to the true art it came from. His style is raw & rugged yet smooth & laid-back. He’s true to himself and aspires for his lyrics to move and reach others just as rappers before him have empowered him. 

Now Alec has teamed up with Confidence to unleash his first offering to the masses. "I Give It My Heart" takes listeners back to the Golden Age of Hip Hop while still relating to the music today with an updated sound.  Be on the look out for more music from Alec coming soon...

After the wildly successful Neck Snapping Drums Vol. I, Confidence decided to step back into the lab and bless producers and beatmakers with a new set of sounds. The drum break edition includes 15 breaks, cut up and processed into individual kits of kicks, snare and hats. These aren't your standard breaks just recycled, they're all hand picked and tailored around specific beats created for that authentic feel. So, you're getting drums that were all used in Confidence's own productions. No need to do anything else except to create.

Mixed by the legendary Dj Grazzhoppa
