King Kong VS Godzilla vs King Callis 

King Callis is on the rise in 704 although he originally hails from Ohio, that doesn't stop the self proclaimed King from putting flame on the Queen City of Charlotte. During his recent performance at Area 15, he lit up the stage with his thought provoking music.

 In today's mainstream urban culture, it can be challenge for hiphop artists to sway a crowd of millennials without trap music.  Despite this obstacle, King Callis delivers crowd pleasers time and time again. How does he do it? Maybe its his impeccable rhyme patterns. Or maybe its the seamless production with beats that propel every instrument in harmonic unison with the young Kings voice. Take a listen to some of his previous songs below.  

[Spoiler Alert]  But first, take a sneak peak of his latest track list for the EP set to be released very soon on Feb.19, 2017.

 Much more is on the radar so stay tuned.

Listening Party For Kings in the Queen City -

     EP Release Party In the Queen City

The Queen City has been hiding a secret in its underground world. Several lyrical kings came out  from hiding this past Sunday night.  A plethora of dope MC's graced the stages of NoDa with rhymes sharp enough to pierce even the coldest hearts, ears and minds.  The crowd was tough but the  lyrics were smooth.

The "Awakaned King" EP Release event put on a diverse showcase of talent. There were performances by local artists including, Jerell, Phaze Gawd, Jay Pluss, Quent Young, Moe Reese, Hollywood, Yung Citizen and Sani Solo. A jazz band known as "The Free Will Project" also provided musical variety throughout the evening. Early in the evening King Callis set the mood as the host of the show.

 Jerell headlined the event but being the cool collected king that he is, he saved the best for last. Quent Young and Jerell are members of a group known as "The Port" Click below to hear these artist on Soundcloud.

True music lovers can appreciate The Ports strides in soulful music which instruments and lyrics pay respect to earlier forms of HipHop that have fallen by the way side. The lyricism displayed in the two songs above are in stark contrast to mainstream trap music. Although hood inspired trap anthems may serve a purpose in their own right, there's no comparison  to creative lyrics that uplift a community. ... Stay tuned for more footage from this event.
