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. Jayo Felony) - Don't Blow My High (feat. Jayo Felony) - Hypebomb Records. "THE BASEMENT LP" WAS NOMINATED FOR "BEST HIP HOP ALBUM" BY THE SAN DIEGO MUSIC FOUNDATION IN 2014!!!! 

Hypebomb Records presents: The Basement LP 

"The Basement LP from Far From Ya Average is their third album and doesn't disappoint with lyrical skill and a diverse selection of beats capturing a throw back, classic vibe. From the first few seconds of the intro you can tell that this is going to be a fun album by poking fun at the typical club scene requests over a Slick Rick track. "Get Up" offers a strong start with overdriven guitar samples and distorted vocals, it's a powerful track that builds excitement for the rest of the album. With guest lyricists sprinkled throughout, a standout for me is Madd Joker on "Deadly", a beat by Edgar IsReal. The diversity of vocal styles play off of each other nicely, enhancing the melodic samples of the instrumental. Several interludes from SDMA winner Mr. Ridley offer humorous cynical commentary on the state of hip hop stereotypes such as "swag rappers" in the form of "Deep Thoughts". "Molecules and Music", orchestrated by Inform, is a mellow summer time beat full of upward thinking lyrics and a creative use of turntable rewinds, it is clear to see why this is the premier single. With tracks like "Look of love" produced by Bonita Basics demonstrating more commercial appeal similar older tracks from the Game to "My Future Ex" capturing a downtempo vibe this album has the ability to appeal to numerous demographics. Nearing the end, what album would be complete without a posse track entitled "No Hooks", Much like something one would find at a live show. The Basement LP is reminiscent of the Los Angeles underground scene towards the later 90's through its use melodic samples and pitched up vocals, grabbing lyrical inspiration from early 90s east coast hip hop. Far From Ya Average is a group that continues to gain momentum and leaves its audience craving the next release." - DJ PNutz host of the "Me, Myself & I" Radio show
