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 was created with the sole purpose of bringing a new and exciting form of hip hop to the world. They refuse to stay inside the box and their style fully represents that statement. Fans of any genre of music, from jazz to metal, can find something to love in the sound created by these San Diego, California residents. Created in 2008 by K-Rock and Stryve, F.F.Y.A. has set out to become a hip hop collective of sorts...boasting collaborations with a truly eclectic mix of MC's and recording artists. After bringing Hypebomb's own Def Shon into the fold, they truly have become an unstoppable force, consistently rocking shows with truly unforgettable performances in many different venues throughout California. K-Rock and Def Shon handle most of the production duties bringing elements of their own influences to the soundscapes so they remain as eclectic as the lyricism. Far From Ya Average have released their full length debut album entitled "Introducing...The LP" on HypeBomb Records/ Def Jam Recordings, available in many stores throughout the San Diego area and online worldwide through Amazon, iTunes, Rhapsody, Zune, etc. as well as, Def Shon's solo effort "Officially Official" and are currently working on their sophmore album. They are a part of the NO CEO: I'm My Own Boss hip hop movement that is currently spreading across the US so look for F.F.Y.A. to rock a venue near you soon!
