FYA 15 Timothy Joseph Disarms Pan Diego

Hypebomb Records Presents: Pressure

K-Rock Tha Fantom, one-third of San Diego hip hop group, Far From Ya Average, and a solo artist in his own right, displays his "outside the box" approach to music once again as he teams up with Lumivore singer J-2 for a journey into alternative trip-hop with FANTOMOPRA. Wanting to branch out into a whole new musical landscape, K-Rock Tha Fantom, who was a huge fan of J-2's ex-band, The Suicide Chords, contacted the soulful metal singer, who also expressed his wish to try something new. After a few brainstorming sessions, their chemistry and similarities brought on an explosion of creativity and J-2 coined the project, FANTOMOPRA.

Rapper and Producer, Kenneth Erwin, hails from San Diego, CA. This two-time San Diego Music Award nominated artist began his musical journey as a producer and MC for hip hop supergroup, Far From Ya Average, and continued as solo artist, K-Rock Tha Fantom. He has also dabbled in the metal genre as Dismembered Constellations, in a collaboration with Abusement Park guitarist Hector Perez.

Singer and Producer, Jason Edwards (AKA J-2) is a self-taught vocalist from Oakland, CA. Jason has been the frontman for many notable San Diego bands including Born Tonight, The Suicide Chords, Big Goat and currently Lumivore. As a member of Suicide Chords, he received a nomination for 'Best Hard Rock Album" in 2013 at the San Diego Music Awards, features on SoundDiego and is responsible for creating the "Romantic metal" genre. Jason draws influences from 70's soul and a bevy of vocalists from Chino Moreno and Mike Patton to Sade.

"Pressure" is FANTOMOPRA flexing their muscles and showing what a rapper and a rock singer can do outside of their comfort zones in their respective genres. J-2's emotive vocals and atmospheric production and K-Rock Tha Fantom's trademark cadence blend seemlessly in your headphones creating a unique and satisfying experience.

Far From Ya Average (feat. Amanda Jane) - All I Want Is You (feat. Amanda Jane) - Hypebomb Records. Hypebomb Records presents: The Stage Crasher LP

"Far From Ya Average (often abbreviated as FFYA) is very well named, as “Stage Crasher” clearly demonstrates. Music fans who may have been bored by the last 15 years of hip hop music, which has been repetitious and brutally over-produced by many standards, will be elated to discover this eclectic album by Far From Ya Average. The style and overall sound of “Stage Crasher” is widely varied and entirely fun. Over the whole one-and-a-quarter hours, it is consistently full of catchy rhythms, brilliant rhymes, and ingenious melodies, and never once gets old. Far From Ya Average’s “Can You Handle This?” is a track that fuses rap with AC/DC-esque rock ‘n’ roll, the way the Beastie Boys used to do. On the other hand, their “I’d Rather” song is delivered with the same aggressive confidence and tone of legendary artists such as Ice Cube and Dr. Dre. “Na Na Na,” a particularly upbeat and smile-inducing track, boasts fantastic indie pop elements balanced with a dash of Eminem’s humor and groove. One could liken every track on the LP to a different mode of music without overlapping hardly at all. Whether the listener is a fan of hip hop or not, the uniqueness of FFYA’s “Stage Crasher” cannot be denied. Their philosophy in making music explains their creative drive summarily. When asked about how the message their album might carry to its listeners, they write, “You can do whatever you like. You do not have to think inside the box.” At the core of Far From Ya Average is the remarkably talented trio, K-Rock, Stryve, and Def Shon, the former two being the founding members and Def Shon having been later adopted as a fellow Hypebomb Records artist. Many of their friends and associates are also featured on “Stage Crasher,” and in the creation of this new LP, none of them were anywhere near that proverbial box." -S. McCauley staff writer for MondoTunes
