RAYZD is the new name of a band formerly called G-Clef and da Houndz, which was the hip-hop pop oriented Phoenix that rose from the ashes of the Neo Swing Movement of the turn of the milennium! But trust us you never heard a band like this before... they are 100% original, combining real musical skills with real rhymes, lyrics, and beats to form the most exciting new movement in music on this planet!
Japanese 'Otaku' culture is growing by leaps and bounds, and is becoming the next big movement to sweep American Culture. Anime and Video Games are more often becoming valid modes for artistic expression in the area of music. Composer/Producer G-Clef da Mad Komposa and his band Rayzd embark on perhaps the first serious interpretation of some of Otaku culture's best music, most notably Japanese composer Yoko Kanno (Cowboy Bebop/Escaflowne), as well as others. A Landmark project featuring many different instrumentations, even two Big Band tracks!
Once regarded as Philadelphia Hip-Hop's best kept secret, Reef the Lost Cauze is no longer the best underground MC you've never heard of: he's ready to shed the title once and for all and become a household name. The battle-tested MC is poised to have a breakthrough year in 2010: not by switching up his style or conforming to ready-made ideals of mainstream acceptability, but rather by staying true to the basic formula of raw rhymes and murderous beats. Reef stands as the new sound of Philadelphia. He carries with him the city's long-standing tradition of musical history and innovation. After dropping two critically-acclaimed albums 2005's Feast or Famine and 2008's A Vicious Cycle, Reef has teamed with producers Guns-N-Butter(aka Stu Bangas, J-Scrilla and Chop-la-Rok) as well as some high-profile rappers like Kool G.Rap, Vinnie Paz( of Jedi Mind Tricks), R.A the Rugged Man, Slaine(La Coka Nostra), Big Noyd, Akir, Bloodsport, King Magnetic, and K-Beta for the 13 rounds of raw rap that comprise his latest album, Fight Music. From the braggadocio raps on songs like "I'm a G" to the introspective rhymes of "Get me Outta Here" Reef's lyrical dexterity finds a welcome home on Guns-N-Butter's neck snapping soundtracks.
