DJ Ready Cee  - THE READY CEE SHOW - THE READY CEE SHOW

Vimby Footage from the Black Milk record release party with us, skyzoo, torae, ready cee, peteroasis, u.n.i, sav killz, etc....


Hello. We are folk&stress. We are biological brothers and we make music together. We both rap and make beats. We also dj, breakdance and write graffiti. We can do all five tasks at once. We are always in the studio mastering our craft. We have a record coming out called "the box." with guest appearances by The Gza/Genius, blu, aesop, vast aire of the legendary can ox, and wu-tang producer/artist bronze nazareth. Our friends preservation and pushakey also produced tracks on the record. Dreddy kruger a&r'ed the record. We are always checking the myspace so feel free to ask us any questions. The record is called the box. Here is some stuff I found online....

Brothers. Emcees. Artists?

A pair of New York natives, Folk & Stress uphold the long tradition of New York Emcees that have both lyrical credibility as well as musical accessibility. Their debut release “The Box”,coming soon, is packed with features from hip hop heavyweights.

Veteran A&R and creative muscle behind such indie smash-hits as "Wu-Tang Meets The Indie Culture" (60,000 + units sold to date), Think Differently's Dreddy Kruger returns to champion another phenomenon: brothers from Long Island, 21 year old Folk & 23 year old Stress. Their soulfully reserved production and witty lyrics are complemented by guest spots from some of the best emcee's in the game including GZA (Wu-Tang Clan), Aesop Rock, Vast Aire (Cannibal Ox), BLU and Bronze Nazareth. Also featuring production by Bronze Nazareth (Rza, Gza, Immortal Technique ), Preservation (Mos Def), & Pushakey. The first single's are "The Box” and “New York" feat. GZA (Wu-Tang Clan) with the CD Single & 12" Designed by ALIFE and an exclusive tee shirt and promotional item as well. “The Box” is executive produced & A&R'd By Dreddy Kruger.

The debut “F&S” album "The Box" epitomizes the Lower East-side-hip meets Staten Island-streets sensibility (and accompanying cultural groundswell) that has become synonymous with the Think Differently and Alife brand.

"The Box" Coming Soon!

“In A Time When Many Emerging Artists Seem Hellbent On Promoting Image Over Substance, It”s Refreashing To See A Rap Group Founded On The Ideas Of Family And Creative Music”

-Aesop Rock



“Two Leaders Of New York”s Next Emcee’ing Generation, Sounds Like They Did There Homework”

-Schott Free (Mobb Deep, Biggie Smalls)



"impressive flows, sharp word play, soulful beats. They legitimately like making music, and it can be heard on every track they make. For better or for worse, these doods are full-time emcees"

Atif Ateeq For www.vanelifestyle.com



"Maybe it’s this hip-hop band of brothers’ eerily intimate family flavor that allows them to be, dare we say, comfortable on rap records. Regardless of race, F&S is the sort of young-blood, self-sustaining act that is honest to themselves and listeners in every sense of the word. Steering clear of industry-knocking, preaching, and redundant rhymes, they instead aim towards solid sampling, clear cut cadences, and the "everyday real." Folk & Stress appeal to a much wider audience than their fellow independent, go-gettas."
