When you think of Midwest hiphop, most times Chicago and Detroit come to mind as holding the crown. Enter Play Havoc, the Ohio-based hiphop trio that plans on putting the Buckeye state on the map of the music industry. Consisting of Emcee/producer, Ill Advice, Emcee, Hi Jinks, and Dj Sleepyhead, the group has been a staple in the Ohio underground community for years, but in just the last 6 months has boosted its buzz with the release of a new LP, "All Things Due" two mixtapes and a winter midwest tour that helped spread the word of the next big thing out of the Midwest. The group's consistent hustle earned them high praise from Cleveland's largest and most respected music magazine, The Scene:
“Featuring three newcomers rooted in old-school values, Play Havoc's All Things Due has everything it takes to set off another wave of progressive hip-hop. Ace DJ Sleepyhead scratches and cuts, sampling soul albums for a string of sax squeals and high-pitched, warbling vocals. And Ill Advice and Hi Jinks, two socially conscious MCs, write and rhyme like they've been reading all day. It's hard-hitting, serious, and -- this is important -- fun.”
Play Havoc's style is a smooth blend of classic hiphop with up to date subject matter and sensibilities. The group maintains street-wit while touching on broad subjects and also still having fun on the microphone. The lyrics are serious and well-crafted, and the music ranges from soulful, to raucus. Play Havoc's goal is to finally bridge the gap between the underground hiphop scene and the mainstream, and with one listen you will see they have all the tools.
