@Tha4orce + @ConfuciusMC – More To It (Dir. @GlobalFaction) [Video]

UK Hip Hop veteran Tha 4orce and the up & coming Confucius MC take it to the streets of south London in this moody throwback to the golden era of Hip Hop shot by UK pioneers Global Faction.

About Confucius MC:
South London’s Confucius MC is a unique voice, rising above the noise and cutting through the clichéd conversations.

The son of a Irish/British teacher and a Grenadian musician, the young Con fell upon the teachings of his namesake – the Chinese philosopher Confucius – after becoming enamored with the movies of Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, & the like.

After buying Wu Tang Clan’s iconic ’36 Chambers’ album with his high school work experience money, the seed was planted. But it wasn’t until he heard A Tribe Called Quest’s Dilla-produced ‘Beats, Rhymes, & Life’ that his own unique brand of lyricism began to blossom.

As one half of live duo =CoN+KwAkE=, Con has opened up for the likes of Mos Def, Public Enemy, & Slum Village; the MC/drummer tag-team’s unique stage show spawning a formula that Kwake has since masterfully translated to his backing of MC’s like Jehst, Dels, & the mighty DOOM.

His debut release ‘The Highest Order’ (YNR Productions) – produced entirely by Parisian beat-smith Keor Meteor firmly established Confucius MC as one of London’s emerging new talents.

About Tha 4orce:
Tha 4orce’s career has embodied Hip Hop culture from the very beginning. He started his career with Ronin, Hip Hop crew of the late 1980’s where he saw national success with their single “Who Got The Last Laugh“. His career progressed from a label deal with Virgin back to a more successful time with Ronin which stretched to the US when Tha 4orce tore up a performance with Boogie Down Productions in New York and garnered much love from the US music industry.

Tha 4orce progressed into music production & engineering. His various remix & production credits include: Amy Winehouse, Sugababes, Ms Dynamite, Reef, Oleta Adams, Phoebe One, Foxy Brown, Blackstreet, LL Cool J, Common, Gravediggers, Busta Rhymes, & Alkaholiks. Steve has also completed many album projects with artists such as; Nash, who’s debut album, ‘The Chancer‘, sold 40,000 units worldwide in 2001, Izzi Dunn (String arranger for Gorillaz), Noel McKoy, & Poynt Blak, as well as his own solo albums.
