VAST AIRE: HEADIN FOR THE TOP OF NY.

In 2001 something happened that even transcended Philip K Dick’s imagination. The mighty Twin Towers, the biggest symbols of American economy went down and the world would never be the same. An album that visionarily (it came out before 9/11) expressed that feeling of uncertainty and apocalyptic doom-thinking was Cannibal Ox’s (Vast Aire and Vordul Mega) ‘The Cold Vein’. A few projects and solo endeavours later, Vast Aire is now back with Karniege to release the Mighty Joseph album, inspired on the King Kong theme, Both artists are headin for the top of NY, like King Kong was headin for the top of another American symbol, the Empire State Building…

You’re about to release ‘Mighty Joseph’ through Urchin Studios, please tell us more about that project…When is the release date?

It should be out by February 12th 2008, the project is on I.G.C. Rec/Urchin Studios. This is a dope LP, it’s just raw and fun hip-hop that needs to come to the forefront! Vast Aire is bringing that raw again!

It all started over 12 years ago at Washington Irving Highschool. Vast Aire from Harlem and Karniege from Brooklyn formed a long lasting friendship that would eventually lead to the birth of Mighty Joseph. With Karniege at his side, Vast Aire toured all over the world promoting his solo project as well as with Cannibal Ox. (one of my personal favorites!) The duo used this time together to vibe and feed off each other to become better at the art of Hip Hop. And so it was, In 2005 the two finally decided to work together to create their first album Empire State. The vibes fit perfect! stay tuned for more info on Empire State - The full length LP by Vast Aire [CANNIBAL OX] and Karniege [BIGKIDS]
