ABOUT SOUL SLINGERS:
Soul Slingers are Ric Rude and Tim Tones. They met in late 2005 at an open mic that Tim Tones hosted at the Bug Jar.
After discussing ideas for shows, the two joined up and quickly found chemistry when performing live. Tones' live remixing,
along with turntablist elements, added a unique element to Ric Rude's true school and confessional song writing and
emceeing skills. Since the inception, the group has opened for local legends Filthy Funk, Black August, and Hassaan
Mackey. They have also opened up for national acts Sean Price(of Heltah Skeltah), Afu -Ra and World Famous
Turntablist and DMC champ Grandmaster Roc Raida. They have also hosted a slew of events such as the "Soul Slinger
Showdown", an album release show for the recently released "Soul Slingers:The Ric Rude Mix" album. With the release of the Soul Slingers mix, people finally have some Ric Rude to
bump in their headphones. Hosting a variety of producers, including Jon Woodring and Husky(of the locally
famous Goonies crew), Optix, Tim Tones, Portland Oregon producer 5th Sequence, and California producer Pasadena, the
beats are quality and head nodding throughout. From introspective tracks about family, friends, and self realization
to hard edged tracks about getting through society's manmade pitfalls, Ric is truly a lyricist for the everyman, a lyricist
that provokes people to listen and find something relatable inside them. Tones and Rude have both spent plenty of time
in their respective MC and DJ circuits locally, with Tones djing a laundry list of residencies such as the Chasers weekly
Wednesday on St.Paul St., which he shared with DJ Ewun(of international Drum n'Bass fame), DJ Code D, and DJ Percussion.
Rude and Tones were also regular devotees of Discolobos' Full Circle sundays, where Tones scratched in front of a crowd
for the first time, and where Rude garnered respect and renown as an up and coming emcee.
Together, they look to expand the area they do shows in, looking to conquer Buffalo, Syracuse and Toronto(with any
area in between) for their own self satisfaction and their quickly growing list of "been there, done that"........
