Damen
Samuel
"All The Mornings "
Damen Samuel is a storyteller. He reveals in an instance,
a nature of sensuality and sadness. Vocally the lyrics to
many of his songs are a subtly heavy velvety resonance.
In each song, he clearly reveals a story in a folk-like fashion
reminiscent to that of Cat Stevens, Leonard Cohen, and Jeff
Buckley.

Kaido
"Irreplaceable off of the
Underground Bushido Mixtape"
Kaido is
considered the young Bruce Lee of our era for his maverick
thinking as well as his maverick applications. He was born
as Mark Recaido in a not so typical “Asian” family,
where Kai-do learned the consequences of being different
at a young age.
“Being the only minority growing up was something my
parents couldn’t help me with because this was something
they’ve never experienced.”
So young Kai-do had to problem solve for himself through a
lot of trial and error. The nick name Kai-do actually was given
to him during these tough times.
“I was nick named after Fido Dido because my last name
rhymed.”
But that name would only be a clue to the destiny he was going
to inherit.
Being the only asian growing up, Kai-do didn’t have a
role model to follow until Bruce Lee came into his life.
“Bruce Lee is the man baby, he could beat anyone’s
ass physically, mentally, and
spiritually. He was the world’s first renaissance warrior.
Using pop culture to educate the masses with martial arts.”
Now Kai-do feels it is his turn to continue what Bruce Lee
set out to do.
“I am going to remove the negative thinking of the Asian
man in pop culture.”
Kai-do is a dedicated martial arts athlete who also shares
his love of the game in his music.
“I WANT TO GIVE PEOPLE ANOTHER FLAVOUR IN HIP HOP THEN
JUST BLING BLING, HOES, AND GUNS!”
Focused on a path of teaching, competing, and performing Kai-do
is ready to be the next renaissance champion. |
