Mantronik & Mc Tee was a part of one of the most inovative hip hop groups in the 80's combining Rap, Funk, Reggae, Pop & Electronics...Mantronix still make many of todays hip hop artists look like their making elevator music!! In my opinion Mantronix is the way hip hop was supposed to be in the 90's...Raw, Cool, Independent & Hardcore!! Mantronik's real name is Kurtis Khaleel (born September 4, 1965) & Mc Tee's real name is Tooure Embden. Mantronix was formed in New York in 1984. William Socolov, the head of the independent record label "Sleeping bag Records" heard a Mantronix demo tape and a few months later "Fresh is the Word" hit the streets in 1985 with a blast!! Their second single was "Bassline" from their debut "The album" in 1986 which probably is one of the coolest and rawest hip hop albums ever made. Bassline was the first single to hit the charts outside america..well that's when i heard them for the first time and since then i've been captivated by their unique sound. Later the same year they released "Music madness", also a great album, though some people think they was in a holding pattern, i disagree. In 1988 they released "In full effect" which also was a fine piece of work. He has also worked with Toni Braxton, En Vogue, Mary J.Blige to name a few. In a interview Bryce said about working with Mantronik : "I learned alot from watching Kurtis in the studio, he was the best producer i've ever met, and his attitude reflected that.

This is a fan site profile. Mantronix was ahead of their time in their music and production. Kurtis Mantronik produced such people as T La Rock , Just Ice , Nocera , and KRS ONE. Our goal is to see Mantronix come back in to the Hip Hop scene. Mantronik The Beat Creator, The Musical Genius, The Phenom. We hope that Mantronik will rise like the Phoenix, to storm once again the Hip Hop World that he helped build. This Myspace profile has proven that people want to hear Mantronik come out and revive The Hard Core Hip hop. Time will tell and we will see. And hopefully in 2008 we will hear something, but if not we will wait patiently for his return.
thanx for accepting my comment. Btw, is there a way to forward my friendship request to KRAFTWERK. Since we have the most comprehensive old-school hip hop network on myspace, we can't afford to miss KRAFTWERK among us. Thanx a lot for that.
Keep on rockin', bros.
K-Rock ZULU NORD 36 YEARS OF HIP HOP - 25 YEARS HIP HOP IN GERMANY
K-ROCK - Who is this exotic german old-school freak? This head is on the run kickin' out some of the hardest old-school flavour beatz around! That's pretty hard to find in Germany right now, 'cause it's just not mainstream. But if you love True-School Hip Hop, you sure don't give a f..k! ---NOW AVAILABLE ON RareHipHop.com - Debut Album K-ROCK "THE HARD SHIT FREAK"---(Forget those crappy versions on my myspace!) As a contribution to 25 years of Hip Hop in Germany I put up my debut album: 9 fully mastered dope trax (01-09) of pure b-boy style. (Sorry for the bad display of the german titles, but you can download the cover from my picture section!) 01 Why Iz That - 25 ys - This is my Rock Steady Crew tribute, you guys definitely started it over here! 02 The Hard Shit Freak - You'll love this x-rated west-coast electro booty rockin' burner! 03 Make Jokes On Me - This track is based upon beats I rocked on with my old crew EFP (which means A Fatal Project) almost 12 years ago. 04 Did Ya Ever - an electro battle track, which brought me back after more than a decade 05 The Whole World (A Slaveship) - It's a more optimistical piece than it title sounds about Hip Hop being a maintaining culture since it's Zulu roots. B-boys of the world, come on and rock! 06 The Competition - We all have to compete something anytime. 07 Some True School Shit - also subtitled Walls & Trains, comin' from the club, spreading your name across walls and trains, burning beatz for burners 08 NYC-Buecher geklaut - This german title means we stole books to put pictures of New York City up against the wall like we put up pictures of our girl-friends. This one is a kind of a love letter introducing my favourite background singer Nadine. Don't mind the german words! 09 I'll Zip-A-Dip Ya - One of my original electro style tracks from back in the days. I did it with my one and only all-time homie Skillshot Heron a.k.a. J. Ra, man, you know why I love you!
