Rare Formula!

I want to let everyone know about one of the hottest up and coming musical artists that are about to take off into the music industry. A group by the name of Rare Formula. Founded by the help of Suede from Camp Lo, this group strives to do something very unique. Their music is a rare combination of Hip-Hop, Soul, and Fusion.

The members include a trio who go by Simz, Seku, and Simone. Eric Sim, who I’ve known since my freshmen year in college, is the man of beats. The hip-hop beats that he creates can be compared to the those heard at the top of the music industry. Seku, who I just recently met, is an amazing guy and a talented artist. Simone, who I also met, is bottom line: an amazing singer.

This group has a great dynamic that is apparent in their performances. Rare Formula recently opened for Musiq Soulchild, a platinum album and award-winning soul artist, at a concert in Memorial Hall at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. They also just released an free downloadable EP called Planetarium Soul with 8 impressive tracks. With several gigs coming up, Rare Formula is gaining popularity and I wouldn’t be surprised if they get signed to a record label and go big.

Another individual worth noting is my friend DJ Rang who does the DJing at Rare Formula’s live performances. His mixes are ridiculously good. Search YouTube for “bhangra” and one of his mixes is currently number one! So, when you get a chance, check out Rare Formula, as well as DJ Rang and get the EP while its free!

Below is their biography (from their myspace page):

What do you get when you mix an Asian element, with a native island chemical, and a Hawaiian Bronx-tale ingredient………….. You get a collage fusion of retrograde motion better known as RARE FORMULA…… An electric trio that consists of……Simz, Seku, Simone…. who all met on their musical journey in Chapel Hill, N.C., everyone in pursuit of their own personal careers. But…when Seku was discovered by the cofounder of La universe, Suede(Camp Lo)….he saw a vision for the young inspired artist although it wasn’t until he was introduced to these other 2 individuals that the picture would become clear. He knew that when all three of these unique colors blended together, the visual and musical painting would become one of the worlds most praised pieces of art. So the three formed one in the rarest way! Their combination of electronic/ international / glam-rock/ hip-hop/ R&B soul is organically composed with a very vivid twist. In the same lane as those who did it before them such as The Fugees, Black Eyed Peas, and Digable Planets, they take what it is to be a two male, one female trio to a different time and space. They are not trying to follow in the shadows of anyone- they aim to break newer ground….The tight family, that used to be on separate paths, now plot together real hard on their reign in the industry. They will eventually do solo projects to show the depth of each entity. However the deepness and trueness of who they are individually and collectively will be introduced to the world as RARE FORMULA! THE mixture you never thought of.
