Addek the “FLow Like Me” lyricists back with a new EP called Red Shift after shelving the studio album Double D and the Mixtape Rise To Power. The Myspace rapper is back in the studio with a recently complete unreleased track from long-time collaborators Absolute Power. Addek has also been remastering, re-recording, sampling, and recreating material from prior shelved projects and hopes to release another studio album this year.

“I struggle for freedom…for the freedom of hip hop to be original. I make hip hop. Not in the sense of what you think hip hop is. But I make it from the ground up. It will test your mental. I write with a purpose. I make music for life. For therapy, I hustle non-stop. Right now I’m recording again and excited for what the internet has done for music. What’s art and what’s a product? What’s the difference between a rapper? and a super brainwashed cookie-cutter commercial studio gangster? What are we bringing to the table artistically?”
-Addek

“A breath of fresh air from the smog of commercially-control messages of mainstream hip-hop.”
Mabili Ajani -Critical Times: Talk Revolution-

“This independent hip hop artist delivers some of the most provocative, politically aware and revolutionary lyrics in the region’s vital underground rap scene.” “The most original and resonant releases to emanate from the Bay’s underground rap scene to date.”
Scott Harrell -Creative Loafing-

“Addek the Suncoast’s most talked about hip hop performer, judging from reviews, airplay and civic group recognition”
Mark Beyer – Tampa Tribune-

“When he delivers the line, “Intifada fighters, American occupiers, American liars, weapons suppliers,” you can feel Addek’s vitriol hit like a slap in the face. In a hip-hop landscape littered with the bling-laden cadavers of gansta rap dinosaurs, Addek helps reinvigorate the concept of rap as social and political commentary. “Infamy,” despite some shortcomings, is razor-sharp protest music for the 21st century.”
