UG Rap Community

Very few things speak louder than progressive passion and at only 24 years of age, Sadistik has quickly become one of the most innovative new artists to display that passion from the underground hip-hop scene, mainly due to his emphasis on artistic innovation rather than the oh-so-common ego-driven bravado. By crafting a sound that is uniquely his own with intricately woven rhymes that are both emotionally resounding and technically innovative, Sadistik has been garnering new fans since the release of his debut album "The Balancing Act." This record has been heralded by many critics for its beautifully composed production (mainly headed by Emancipator) and fearlessly emotional potency because "after you are done listening to [it] you feel as though you have the world's strongest drug in your veins" (lastfm.com). Following both the critical and independent success of "The Balancing Act" was the release of the music video for the single titled "Searching for Some Beautiful" which also received an extremely positive response from both fans and new listeners alike and was rewarded with its acceptance into MTVu. Sadistik's efforts are not limited to recordings, however, as he can be found performing his intimate yet energetic shows around his home of Seattle and around various cities in the United States. Sadistik has played shows with artists such as: Tech N9ne, Slaughterhouse, CAGE, D-12, Eyedea & Abilities, Bone Thugs N Harmony, Mac Lethal, etc. as well as being a featured artist in magazines such as FREEZE (Greece), Blue Jean (Turkey), & Dead Magazine (Germany). He is currently finishing up two separate projects simultaneously. The first of which is an EP collaboration with Chicago-based producer Kid Called Computer entitled "The Art of Dying" which will be released in August 2010, as well as a full-length collaboration with long time cohort Emancipator scheduled for the early 2011.

The groundbreaking new artist Sadistik is quickly raising eyebrows with his debut solo album "The Balancing Act." At only 22 years old he has developed a sound that is truly unique as he seamlessly blends his signature of deeply poetic lyrics with brooding, symphonic soundscapes filled with beauteous live instrumentation. In addition to his own innovative rhyming style, Sadistik collaborated with the likes of underground hip-hop icons Mac Lethal of Rhymesayers Entertainment and Vast Aire from the highly regarded duo of Cannibal Ox. Sadistik can be found doing shows around his home state of Washington performing his shockingly energetic live shows. While he writes all of his own music, his biggest inspirations range the musical spectrum from Sage Francis all the way to Radiohead. And although traces of these influences can be found in Sadistik's music, one thing is for certain: he has created a sound that is truly his own.

Und noch ein Track von der EP, der schon etwas länger im Netz kursiert...
Sadistik & Kid Called Computer - Black Rose

Wie auf den meisten Songs fällt es Dougie auch hier schwer seine Aussagen in stilvolle Worte zu kleiden, auffällig inflationär tauchen die Worte "Niggaz" und "Bitches" auf. Wer damit Schwierigkeiten hat, der wird wahrscheinlich überhaupt keinen Zugang zu diesem Longplayer finden.

KRISTOFF KRANE and myself just created an entire record in the last 3 days. We're called Prey For Paralysis and it is completely produced by Graham O'Brien Music. Coming soon.
