Five Steez & DJ Ready Cee - Momentum: Volume Two
Single-Track
Stream: http://bit.ly/oOs6iw
Split Tracks
Stream & Download: http://bit.ly/p2RSwb (Web & Mobile)
KINGSTON, JAMAICA – Rising Hip Hop artiste, Five Steez, and New York City radio icon, DJ Ready Cee, have released the highly anticipated ‘Momentum: Volume Two’ mixtape for free download and streaming at http://www.djreadycee.com & iTunes. The 35-minute mix by DJ Ready Cee is also available as a single-track and as 17 separate tracks at the Five Steez Facebook Fan Page (http://www.facebook.com/fivesteez).
‘Volume One’ in the three-part series, released December 2010, clocked tens of thousands of downloads within months of its release.
“I took it back to the ‘golden era’ with the choice of instrumentals on the last one and now we’ve moved up in time. It’s the same concept but the energy is crazier plus there are new flows and new styles. I had to top the first one with this. That’s the whole idea of building momentum,” says the young Kingston-based rapper.
Despite widespread local and international awareness of an emerging Hip Hop scene in the land of Reggae, Five Steez has captured the attention of numerous tastemakers in Hip Hop including the legendary DJ Ready Cee.
“I’m telling you, whoever felt Volume One is gonna love Volume Two. It’s exactly the same vibe and sounds like a perfect continuation. I know it took a long while but I just had to wait for the right time,” says DJ Ready Cee.
Five Steez is one of Jamaica’s leading Hip Hop artistes gaining recognition on and off the island. He is currently working on his debut album entitled ‘War for Peace’, which will be released in 2012.

DJ Ready Cee & Five Steez - Momentum Vol.1
KINGSTON, JAMAICA – In 1967, Jamaican-born DJ Kool Herc took the local sound system culture to the Bronx, New York and subsequently, Hip Hop was born. Four decades later, the genre has come full circle as Five Steez, one of Jamaica’s Hip Hop MCs, has collaborated with DJ Ready Cee, a New York underground Hip Hop radio icon from the Bronx, and released a mixtape online entitled ‘Momentum: Volume One’.
The mixtape, which is the first release in a three-part series, features 19 tracks, spanning a total of 46 minutes, in which Five Steez spits his lyrics over well-known ‘old school’ instrumentals as DJ Ready Cee mixes, scratches and cuts. The free mixtape is available for stream and download at www.djreadycee.com and www.facebook.com/fivesteez .
“It’s been a while since I’ve heard a real mixtape with actual mixing, plus scratching, and I wanted to bring that back,” says Five Steez. “It’s become rare even within modern Hip Hop but this is what the mixtape is really about.”
DJ Ready Cee, known for The Underground Lockdown and The Ready Cee Show on New York City’s WHUT 91.9FM during the late 1990s and early 2000s, says, “I first heard the homie Five Steez when he sent me a track that I played on my online show. I was blown away and so were my co-hosts and listeners because it was so dope. And this kid is coming straight out of Kingston, Jamaica, so that was special.”
Five Steez says, “Ready Cee is a legend so it’s definitely an honour to get this type of support from him, particularly with the mixtape. I hope that this will highlight turntablism locally and also build my fanbase, especially abroad where the real market for Hip Hop exists.”
Five Steez is one of the most recognized artistes within Kingston’s growing Hip Hop movement and is best known for his appearance in the music video, ‘Get Down’, and recent performances at Manifesto|Jamaica events, ART’ical Exposure and ART’ical Empowerment Live.

Sly Rankin - Top Rankin [Mixtape]
Hailing originally from Spanish Town, the first capitol of the island paradise Jamaica, Jason ‘Sly’ Rankin, developed his childhood love for music into a budding career, which started when he and a group of high school friends banded together to form Gangsta Colony in 2002.
SLY RANKIN fuses the sounds of Jamaica's reggae and dancehall with the hip-hop and pop sounds of the United States. He draws inspiration from the colorful surroundings, experiences, and observations found in his homeland of Jamaica, his numerous trips to his adopted home Brooklyn, NY where his record label is based and his time spent in Florida with his family and friends. This is enough to give his music a uniquely refreshing sound. While his content stays true to reality, he finds the need to maintain positivity in his lyrics; “Negativity is a reality that we must reflect, but I feel that the negativity we see and experience in our societies can be portrayed from a positive perspective, not necessarily a perspective that will PROMOTE it.”
Sly Rankin completed his bachelor’s degree in literature and philosophy at the University of the West Indies, while traveling back and forth between Jamaica and New York City to prepare material for his debut album. Solja Life Records recently released a music video for "Wasn't There", the first single from Sly Rankin's debut album titled "Jamaican Pride" which has been rotating on Jamaica’s leading music video stations. He has been performing at shows from New York to New Hampshire, and collaborating with several artists. He has also been featured on numerous episodes of Jamaica’s R.E.TV rap exposure program Face-Off, all of which can be found at youtube.com/SoljaLife. The upcoming album “Jamaican Pride” features six songs licensed by MTV Networks for use in their programming and video games.
