Kasper Martyr Phantom Bio:
It was February 15th, 1982. A day like
any other day, if you asked me. The sun was shining, the birds were
singing, and a baby was crying. It just so happened that the baby was me. I
never had thought too much about it, but I had to be crying for a reason.
After years and years of careful contemplation on the subject, I had come
to a realization that I must’ve just liked the sound of my own noise. Come
to think about it, I still do. Fast forward twenty three years to a run of
the mill day in October of 2004. That was when the legacy really began. The
world wasn’t ready for what Kasper Martyr Phantom had planned for it. The
world still isn’t ready. After joining forces with Nuze, The two set out on
a quest to write and record some tracks in the Conscious Underground
Hip-Hop genre. After completing 23 songs, in a short amount of time, dubbed
“The Octobruary Project,” they decided it was time to start playing shows.
They assembled a press kit and hit the pavement bringing a demo to every
local venue. It was The Metaphor that first took notice. Thanks to Of One
Mind and Phil, Kasper & Nuze were making their debut on stage in front
of millions and millions of screaming fans. In fact, Phil had helped Kasper
& Nuze release their debut album, “Anonymous,” a fifteen track slimmed
down version of the early demos. It seemed the scene wasn’t ready for such
a compelling group of geniuses. Haters were around every corner. The CIA
was, and still is, investigating their rise to stardom, and The MC Refuge
took notice of this. You see, The MC Refuge was a Conscious Hip-Hop haven
for emcees with larger than normal brains. They quickly adopted Kasper and
Nuze, and put them to work to find out the effects of good hip hop of
substance on the smaller than normal brains of competing emcees and
sheeple. The results were miraculous. The other emcees were actually
gaining skill and re-growing brain cells upon listening to Kasper &
Nuze. Were Kasper & Nuze the snake-oil of the new millennium? Yes. I
think they were.
After countless shows that rivaled even The Beatles’ successes, including
sets with Adverse & Shalem, Qwel & Qwaazar, Awol One &
Existereo, and most of the local San Diego talent, Kasper & Nuze
decided to focus mainly on solo work. In 2006, Kasper released “The
Phantom” and the instruMENTAL album “Martyr Mayhem,” and began working on
2008’s “Waiting For Destruction’s Embrace.” Nuze spent the better part of
the century working on his masterpiece “Changing Faces,” slated for release
in mid 2008. Just what can you expect from Kasper & Nuze in the near
future? Hip-hop analysts predict that Kasper, Nuze, and Keys’ pet project (still
untitled) will make a late 2008 world premier. That’s right. An EP is in
the works. Stay tuned.
