At a time when ego driven lyrics are at a all time high; Where Repetitive hooks of fame and wealth serve as mantras to a culture of people, who in all likelihood, will obtain neither; Where obsession over status and material gain rings loudly in everything from rap to country; Comes a Hip-Hop album that is refreshingly unlike anything in modern music. Ceejay Franchize & Luke Skyy bring you their debut project “To Those I Admire.”
Early Hip-Hop was a light that illuminated the darkest aspects of modern society. A conscious collective of people, from all different backgrounds, that refused the status quo. This duo seems to have approached this project with those sentiments securely fastened to their imaginations. TTIA is as dualistic and obnoxiously honest as life tends to be. A topsy-turvy turbulent ride of woe and love. An equal embrace of chaos and peace. The emotion of the album will make you feel as if you’re the one who’s being admired. The range of production from the minds of DJ Paradox, TellingBeatzz, Cooarri, The Synthesis, and 5 Mentarios allow the duo to drive home crafty wordplay. Each instrumental independently carving out a path to your souls entertainment plaza as Ceej and Luke traverse the route. DJ Paradox uses his masterful receivers of sound to mix the project to peak condition. Verses by Leezy, Jay-Class, and NME pull it into its final compliment. A compliment you would be remiss not sharing with comrades.
TTIA is poised to entertain the novice to the most ardent hip-hop fan. Ceejay Franchize & Luke Skyy look to take this album from the deepest trenches to the highest mountains, both at home in Denver and cities abroad. Be on the lookout for TTIA to drop in digital form on August 25th 2016. On September 9th 2016 the duo will be taking the stage at the Globe Hall venue in Denver for the release show. Physical copies of the album will be available on this night. Ceej and Luke wish to thank everyone’s passion in music, for it is that passion that fuels their drive. Also a huge peace and love to all.
