Kaliq (live band) www.allhailpharaoh.com
KALIQ WAS BORN IN SAN DIEGO, CA. SOON AFTER, HIS PARENTS RELOCATED TO SOUTH CENTRAL, LA. IT WAS HERE,
DURING THE BUDDING GANGSTER RAP MOVEMENT, LED BY THE LIKES OF NWA AND ICE TEE, THAT KALIQ FOUND HIS
LOVE FOR STORY TELLING. THE MUSIC OF THAT DECADE WAS POWERFUL, GAME CHANGING, AND REPRESENTED THE
ENVIRONMENT KALIQ GREW UP IN.
LITERALLY LIVING IN A STATE OF WAR, THE LA RIOTS, DRIVE-BY SHOOTINGS, AND THE HEAVY GANG PRESENCE, KALIQ WAS
THRUST INTO DIRECT CONFLICT OF THE NATIONALIST MUSLIM UPBRINGING THAT HE WAS NURTURED. JAMAL MUHAMMAD,
KALIQ’S FATHER, WAS A LIEUTENANT, AND LATER A MINISTER IN THE NATION OF ISLAM. THOSE PRO-BLACK THEMES STILL
RESONATE IN KALIQ’S MUSIC, AS DOES THE REALITIES OF HIS EARLY SURROUNDINGS, WHICH TODAY CONNECTS DIRECTLY
WITH THE STATE OF EMERGENCY BEING EXPERIENCED IN COMMUNITIES ACROSS THIS COUNTRY.
KALIQ’S FATHER WAS VERY INFLUENTIAL IN KALIQ’S LIFE, AND HAS BROADENED KALIQ’S UNDERSTANDING OF MUSIC. AS
MINISTER, PART OF HIS FATHER’S DUTIES, WERE TO RECRUIT, CONVERT, AND ADVOCATE. AS A SUPERIOR MOTIVATOR
AND COMMUNICATOR, KALIQ’S FATHER, RECOGNIZED THE IMPORTANCE, AND KNEW HOW TO REACH THE YOUTH ON ALL
LEVELS, INCLUDING THROUGH THEIR MUSIC. HE INTRODUCED KALIQ TO THE LIKES OF WU-TANG, COMMON, NAS, LAURYN
HILL, JIMI HENDRIX, JOHN COLTRANE, AND EVEN JAMES BROWN’S, “I’M BLACK AND I’M PROUD”. THIS MODEL HELPED
KALIQ EXPAND HIS MUSICAL TASTE (WHICH WAS NOT HIS FATHER’S ONLY INTENT), BUT SERVED AND INFLUENCED KALIQ’S
FLOW, AND LYRICAL DELIVERY.
KALIQ NOW RESIDES IN PHOENIX, ARIZONA. A STATE EXPERIENCING ITS OWN EVOLUTION, REVOLUTION, AND TURMOIL.
THE NATIONAL IMAGE OF ARIZONA HAS BEEN SMEARED BY THE CONTROVERSIAL (AND UNCONSTITUTIONAL SB1070)
NEW IMMIGRATION LAW. THOSE CHALLENGES ADDED TO KALIQ’S WORLD VIEW AND ALLOWED HIS MIND TO CROSS THE
BORDER WITHOUT CROSSING THE BORDER. KALIQ HAS BEEN PART OF ARIZONA’S UNDERGROUND HIP HOP SCENE FOR
SEVERAL YEARS, PRODUCING TEN WELL RECEIVED RELEASES IN THE REGION. THOSE RELEASES EVENTUALLY EARNED HIM
THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETURN TO LA AND WRITE RECORDS FOR DR DRE.
Futuristic www.onlyfuturistic.com
Growing up around music, it was inevitable that Futuristic would follow the path of his elders. Father Joe Beck was constantly consumed with his drumming skills, leading bands and competing in national drumming competitions while still running his greatly respected local DJ service. Future’s brothers Jason, Joseph, Quintin and Brandon are also musicians and participate in a wide variety of genres
including Heavy Metal, Acoustic Guitar, Hip-Hop, Production, and Engineering. The youngest of this bunch of talented artists, Futuristic moved away from his family in Illinois and began to create a buzz of his own in Arizona opening up for acts such as Willy Northpole, Sean Kingston, E-40, Afroman, Machine Gun Kelly, Yung Berg, Yelawolf, The New Boyz, YG, and Snoop Dogg. Accumulating fans across the country, Futuristic unloads an array of lyrical genius on his first major album named after his trademark phrase “I HAD TO DO IT”. Since then he has dropped 3 mixtapes another album and got over 200,000 views from his music videos! Now he is working on his most intense, emotional, lyrical project yet called “Dream Big” which drops early February 19th 2012!
