X:144 and SPS
Choice of Weapons: 2 turntables and breath control.
Defense Strategy: To loop revolution’s message of peace, love and harmony over tons of vinyl from mom’s record collection to whatever else is funky, then call it hip hop.
X:144 and SPS constantly take listeners on journeys of self-discovery and attempt to ignite a true passion for hip hop in the souls of music lovers everywhere in the world. As a child of New York where hip was born, X:144 found his roots deeply planted within the art of storytelling at numerous open mic nights and between pages of college-ruled notebook paper. SPS saw tiny reflections of his influences like Jam Master Jay, The Colon Brothers and Grand Master Flash burst through the tips of his 16 year old fingers at a local youth center in Berlin Germany back in the 90’s and now has finely tuned his craft in turntablism where he has created his own special sound. Alone, they are threat but when on stage together they become lethal. In 2005, X:144 and SPS decided to join forces and take the world on in the all Nonsense approach.
Between X:144 and SPS the two of them have a list of outstanding battle wins such as SPS’ win as the 2005 DMC South Eastern and Regional Champion. X:144 has been awarded as Orlando Music Awards best hip hop solo and producer of the year in 2003. They have also performed with the masters of the games such as Sage Frances, KRS-One and De La Soul.
The new generation of hip hop has been waiting for a breathtaking and life altering combination such as this. X:144 and SPS have been ready and holding the match. Now it’s their time to set the world on fire!
