About XO- most viewed artist on fevermagazine.com
Mobile, Alabama native, Psykotik (Born Brandon Reed) started rapping at the age of sixteen. Fast forward a few years later and Psykotik, armed with an electric keyboard, mixer, mike and recorder, makes a homemade tape that gets him pushed out onto the club scene. There he begins spouting alliterations and slant rhymes that rebound off of the everyday with a kind of force and earnestness that brings complexity to what is deceptively simple. Those who had the ears to hear him heard. Hundreds of rhymes later and Psykotik is now opening and working with some of the top rappers and producers of the day, including the likes of Plies, Little John, Young Jeezy, Little Wayne, Pastor Troy, and the list goes on. In addition, he appears on The Urban Network compilation album with such artist as Fabulous, Missy Elliott, Tweet, and Mob Deep. He has also produced and written for Jody Breeze, Bohagen, Pastor Troy and also has received production from Davod Banner . His voice comes out of the Rough to hit you just where you are at, his hooks reach across demographics, culture, and age. The title of Psykotiks album, A Diamond in the Rough was partly created to address the myth behind the talent coming out of Alabama, a state with the third highest homicide rate and the highest crime rate in 2001 and the outstanding HIDTA (High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area) of the nation, so it is easy to surmise that them boys in Alabama dont just grow hemp out they mamas backyards. Urbanization, the resulting increase in unemployment, and poor populations are to blame. Psykotiks message isnt even about that hard core rap that is burning out over the radio anyway. It is to say that Alabama is more than a travel route to Florida or Georgia (where Psykotik now resides). When I tell people Im from Alabama they look at me crazy, like your not from Alabama, because I know how to handle myself . . . theres talent in Alabama, but nobody comes to Alabama. Its like a dark space on the earth. Well diamonds are formed in dark, dense places. They are shaped by force and Psykotik certainly has experienced enough pressure to attain a high clarity grade.
