1865

1865, the combination of melodically aggressive production and thought provoking lyrical content. A dynamic act who appeals to those who find the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Del the Funky Homosapien, Ras Kass, Outkast, and Curtis Mayfield an enjoyable audio adventure. 1865's musical awareness began to bloom at at the early age of Eight through the medium of Alto Saxophone. Throughout the years he has accumulated the ability to create music from just about any tangible instrument. With his humble approach and hyper like concentration, these accumulations were displayed when 1865 released his first studio album, Dark Matter, in July of 2007. "This is an excellent debut for an artist who handled the duties of emceeing and production. This type of music barely exists anymore and has me eagerly waiting for what 1865 has to offer next." - Insomniac Magazine. With only 1.5 years under him as an "you're ready to play live" act, he has already performed with the likes of The Pharcyde, Arrested Development, The Roots, Necro, Zebrahead, and Mr. LIF. With the ability to deliver true hip hop fans raw and uncut content all while maintaining an original personal flavor, we invite you to the sounds of a young man out of San Francisco.
