EPDMK has broken out of the quarantine of the status quo to bring real life back to music with cultural expression and passion. This three member multitalented group from South Carolina knows what it means to overcome adversity by daring to spit truth about the power of music and the oneness of humanity. With contagious hooks, the October release of “From Struggle 2 Glory” on OMG Records / EMI will prove to be a lyrical triumph.
To feel EPDMK is to experience the staccato madness of a beat that rivets the mind, body and soul while simultaneously uniting the pulsating reality of the street to the passionate themes of life's ultimate fulfillment. EPDMK transcends the limited boundaries of traditional and contemporary genres. It is hip-hop at its highest evolutionary level that cross reverberates with pop, rock and R&B.
The real-life storylines in "From Struggle 2 Glory" are penetratingly relevant to all who hunger and thirst for the Word and uplifting music that sustains. Beyond what is known as a "rags to riches" journey, EPDMK's pursuit of perfection in their premiere album presents the listener with an insightful maturity combined with the simplicity of raw genius.
Strongly influenced by the iconic tobyMac, EPDMK's producer, Russell Rockwell is a consummate lyricist and songwriter who has produced for a number of main-stream artists. He is considered to be one of the hottest up and coming producers in the industry.
Adrian Lee is EPDMK's focused and passionate vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and lyricist that has carved his path as one of the most versatile artists to emerge from the South. He has worked with Grammy winning producers, charted in the top 30 on Radio and Records National Charts, and performed countless shows across the U.S.
Butch Gibson, is a pop-driven songwriter as well as one of the most talented vocalist to ever stand in front of a microphone. He has won National competitions and performed with everyone from Yolanda Adams and Fred Hammond to Jagged Edge, Lil Jon and Lyfe Jennings.
All three are dedicated to spreading their positive message around the world while preserving the importance of family and displaying humility in their everyday lives. They are united and bonded together by the mutual desire to touch people with the reality of their music. And that reality is. . . the world can't escape this EPDMK.
