HIP-HOP vs ROCK and ROLL - Who Has The Upper Hand???
The FreshMen is the hottest new addition to the NYC music scene, breaking all the boundaries between rock star rebellion and hip-hop swag. Brooklyn MCs Pete Hype & Mercy built their reputations over the years as two of the hottest performing solo acts in NY, rocking crowds from the Village to Bushwick and everywhere in between. It was only a matter of time before they became fans of one another's music and decided to collaborate in the studio. Hype's rock and roll attitude and Mercy's sharp hip-hop styling, created the perfect combination and soon enough, they realized that they had created a new genre of rock n' roll influenced hip-hop!!
In 2007, Pete Hype & Mercy set aside their blossoming solo careers and decided to book gigs solely as a double feature. Their time spent performing together helped create an onstage chemistry that proved to be unmatchable!
After hearing a copy of Mercy's critically acclaimed first solo disc, Mercy Me: The Beginning, hip-hop producer extraordinaire Devo Springsteen (Kanye West, John Legend, Nas) decided to check out one of their shows. After being blown away by the duo's onstage chemistry and originality, Devo jumped onboard to lend his signature bounce to the groups exciting genre-bending sound. It's as if Aerosmith and Run DMC had stayed together—as if Jay-Z and Linkin Park had collaborated on more than one album - A hard-hitting fusion of the best from both the rock and roll and hip-hop worlds.
Their sound is fresh. The convergence of talents is new and exciting. The FreshMen are rocking, not only to change the face of hip-hop, but to change the face of music forever.
