We Want To Bring You Magic!
We've
been working wholeheartedly on new songs that we hope are magical for
you. We collaborated with Grammy nominated artist/producer Khao Kates
(T.I., R. Kelly, Snoop), on the upcoming AD project, "SPLASH". We are
always looking to surprise you and this album is no different. Each song
tells a story and when the album is finished, it is a complete journey.
Khao brought a certain urban feel to our sound, while we all wanted it
to be bigger sounding than our past joints. We made many of the themes
for this record more worldly in their scope and sound. You will hear
more synths than usual for this album, plus the beats bang harder than
many previous records. We performed some of the new material for the
Japanese fans and the response was beyond our expectations! Thank you to
Billboard Live (Tokyo) and of course thanks to Khao for a great
experience in Japan!The time is near to release this music to the whole
world! With the album, we'll release an iPhone / Android app, plus a
brand new website! We hope you dig in deep, support the app and website
and enjoy our newest creation, "SPLASH" (Spring 2014)

Hate The Game (A Personal Blurb from Speech)
All we need is ONE MIC
If
just ONE major radio station decides to support us, the listening
public will love these songs & thus, the songs will be hits. That’s
not conceit that’s just the way it is! Don’t get me wrong, I really
don’t want to depend on “hits” because it’s a fickle career path. But I
know that our music and our lyrics have layers, and when it’s considered
acceptable and played in the mainstream, our music & lyrics take on
another level of depth and importance compared to the other junk out
there. I see it happening in foreign countries, where we do pretty well.
To many of our fans, we are only a 90’s band and we have to dispel
that, it’s a hurdle we plan to jump, and jump thoroughly. We’re as
relevant now as we’ve ever been, and the doubters are simply “gone have
to learn today!”

JJ Boogie On Eminem's Newest Project
Producer
Ken Lewis called JJ Boogie (AD's guitarist) up and asked him to
recreate a harmonica sample for a new song on Eminem's new album MMLP2.
So he recorded the part at his home studio using a Hohner blues band
harmonica thru an SE Gemini II tube microphone for a nice warm sound
then sent it back to him. He informed JJ that he would manipulate the
part to make it sound completely different and un-harmonica like adding
to the vibe and ambiance of the song. Click on the link below for the
new song which many critics on hip-hop blogs say is the best song on
the album.
