In the fall of 2005, BQEZ hatched from Brooklyn, NY and is comprised of two long time collaborators: Guitarist/composer David Bailis and drummer Boey Bertold. The BQEZ collective features emcee M-Cue from Trinidad, Lady K- Kira Huseby on vocals and Rie Tsuji on synth bass and keys. BQEZ mixes hiphop, dancehall, jazz and R&B together to create a style that is uniquely their own.
BQEZ released their debut EP in February of 06 and quickly signed with the distribution label Blaze The World. Their music is currently available through digital download on iTunes and many other digital music networks worldwide. They were also nominated for Best Rap Group in the 2006 New England Urban Music awards.
BQEZ have shared the stage with such luminaries as Sizzla and Steel Pulse at the Higher Ground in Burlington, VT as well as Soulive and John Browns Body. Members of BQEZ have appeared in an array of tours and bands. They have performed with Ceelo, Beyonce, Eric Benet, MC Supernatural, Medusa, Pharoahe Monch, members of JBB, Butch Morris and Jazz Hiphop Orchestra (JHO). In addition, they have opened for Dead Prez, Burning Spear, Roberta Flack, Scratch from the Roots, Slum Village and Headfake (members of Living Colour). Members of BQEZ also performed on the Beats for Peace Tour in 2003.
Exploding from the Brooklyn underground, BQEZ storms the scene with the real jazz/hiphop sound of today.

So.....I now have confirmation through our management that ****TIMBALAND**** will be dropping by to check out our LIFTED show this Thursday at the CANAL ROOM!!! Turns out that he has heard of us through one of his people who has a friend who heard us playing somewhere in the city. Anyway.....our manager was contacted about which show they might get Timbaland out to see...so we told them CANAL ROOM (285 W. Broadway between 6th Ave and Canal St) because it is real nice there and it will make a good impression. We need all our NYC people....and beyond....to come out and show the love. This sort of opportunity only comes around once in a while and we must capitalize on it by inviting support from ALL those that can attend.
Thanks a lot guys and we hope to see you there!!!!!
Peace,
Joe and The LIFTED CREW
