“Fresh” – a Hip-Hop term used in the late 80’s indicating something new and unique. Growing up in Hip-Hop’s Golden Era, Duane Gibson aka D.O. became of a fan HipHop music in the 80’s always looking for the newest, “freshest” HipHop music. When he became an MC in his twenties, he began working with Byram Joseph aka Slakah the Beatchild. A child of the nineties, Joseph grew up in a different era of HipHop. In their early recording sessions, Gibson played classic Hiphop for his music partner to introduce him to some vintage HipHop. It was then that the duo decided to work together as a group to make music reminiscent of the Golden Era of HipHop.
An accomplished M.C. – XXL Magazine has declared D.O. the “True Freestyle King” after setting the Guinness Freestyle Record rapping over 8 hours and 45 minutes. Gibson has released two solo EP’s as well as recent mix CD featuring original songs and freestyles over popular beats.
Slakah the Beatchild also shares the mic with D.O. , both singing and rapping – however, his primary contribution to the group is as a producer. Slakah composes the beats for the group. His beat making skills have been in demand in the Canadian Urban scene. In 2004, he made hits for Arabesque (“Mama Dig Me”) and Faith Walker feat Choclair (Steppin’ Out remix).
In 2005, the Art of Fresh look towards bringing music that keeps the vibe of the Golden Era fresh for the new millennium.
