ECID, MC/producer and Fill In The Breaks work horse is one of those rare artists that can rap, write, & produce in an arguably equal fashion. In a time when the underground is much closer to the mainstream and attention spans are leaning towards extinction. Ecid is a lyrics first MC more concerned with making timeless music than songs that bang for the moment. He writes honest, imaginative, visual, story driven songs with an unpredictable style all his own. As a producer he is the definition of an obsessive record digger, never settling for the predictable loops. Armed with an array of software, samplers, effects pedals, keyboards and an uncanny ear for organic sounds. His sample based/drum heavy beatscapes are the cinematic soundtrack to a zombie-hop apocalypse.
Over the past two years Ecid has cemented himself in the indie-hiphop "scene" Releasing 3 smashing full length albums (2009's "Red Beretta" 2010's "Awol One and Ecid are" and "100 Smiles And Runnin") none of which sounding a lick like the last. The first being a concept album based on the bizarre events that turn a modern day hero into a monster. The second, a gritty collaboration with a Los Angeles legend. Last but not least the most recent being a personal album showing Ecid at his most charismatic, honest, sarcastic, and relatable.
It was summer 2008, life was crazy, Red Beretta was almost finished and after a four year period of non-stop self producing, rapping, & mixing, a period in which he recorded and released ten projects another three or four un-released Ecid needed a break from his creative same old
same old. So he flew to Phoenix, AZ to do some soul searching and recording with his good friend Arsenic on an un-released project called Scorpion Killers. It was during these intense sessions Ecid decided he wanted to step away from the boards to focus solely on writing and have Arsenic produce his next project. After a couple months of weeding through beats and gathering thoughts Ecid wrote Beautiful Smile a song showing us its okay to fuck-up and its okay to think youre awesome. It wouldnt be long before a good
fourteen or fifteen songs had been sent back and forth via Gmail.
Smiles is an album about remembering who you are and how you got here. It shows us we can grow and rediscover the things about ourselves we forgot were great. It is an album built on the beauty in words with awe inspiring lines like I live every day like a seven-ten split sweet talking
good karma cuz revenge is bitch and hilariously truthful lines like As a kid you drink Coke, as a teen you learn to snort it. As an adult you learn to smoke it cuz you cant afford it Ecid is sure to bring lyrics back just in time for us to forget they matter again.
Known for his intense, personable, & insanely energetic live shows. Ecid has shared stages with the likes of KRS-ONE, Aesop Rock, Brother Ali, Eyedea (E&A), Awol One (Shapeshifters), OMD, 2MEX, Qwel of Typical Cats, Sole, Prince Po (Organized Konfusion), Blueprint, Glue, Hanger 18, Heiruspecs, POS, Sims, Cecil Otter, RA The Rugged Man, Killah Priest, Grayskul, Blowfly, & Count Bass D to name a few.
having charted in CMJ numerous times and currently receiving heavy spins at college radio across the US and Canada, Ecid is taking on the clear channel fed stations next. Not a fan of the radio? Well that's just fine because his production can be found on MTV's "The Real World" and soon enough he'll begin his takeover of cable television as well. Whatever the 27-year old MC has his hands in , he goes all in like a kamakazee pilot on acid and you can be rest assured he will take a few clouds down with him.
