Violative Cause....
"To disturb rudely or improperly" ...with... "good or sufficient reason"
Lenny Diko Standing 6 feet 4 inches in height, with shoulders as broad as an
eagle's wingspan, Lenny Diko is as much of a giant in person as he is
on the microphone. Born in Princeton, BC, Diko has been surrounded by
musical influences throughout most of his life. He began experimenting
with music at a young age, and has now become the CEO of one of the
largest entertainment companies in Canada; Up In Your Basement
Records. Though Big Diko thrives in all aspects of life as a
businessman, he is an emcee at heart. Providing his listeners with
heavy rhymes and a calm, slow flow, he is able to capture the hearts
and ears of all his fans. Diko's voice is similar to no other's, and
is easily identifiable on any song - something which has been lost in
modern day Hip Hop. Lenny Diko is a very versatile emcee - he is able
to outshine most competitors on a variety of beats, however prefers a
smooth underground instrumental on which he easily can vibe to. Love
him or hate him, he cannot be denied of his hustle and grind. Feared
by some, and respected by all, Lenny Diko is one of Canada's most
threatening young artists. It is only a matter of time before the
world will know his name.
Lex Though he is merely a particle of dust when compared to Big Diko's
physical stature, Lex has managed to hold his own for years. Since the
age of 12, Lex has been honing his craft as a lyricist, artist, and as
a performer. Now at 19, he is ready to make his mark in the music
industry. Using his quick-witted and excitable doubletime flow, Lex
manages to enthrall his audience, however also is able to fall back
onto a smooth, relaxed track. Born in Geneva, Switzerland, he has
traveled the world many times over, providing him with a cultured
perspective and background, which is clearly displayed within his
lyrics. Being a key artist under Up In Your Basement Records, Lex's
energy has sent somewhat of a shockwave to emcees and producers in
Vancouver. As he climbs the ladder of success in global Hip Hop, Lex
has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with, both in the studio
and live on stage.
The Two Emcees Together these partners in rhyme form Violative Cause - a group which
has gained notoriety not just in Canada, but also in Europe and
throughout the rest of North America. Having released their debut
album "Just Movement", Violative Cause is getting ready to top the
charts with production from Canadian heavyweights Moka Only
(previously of Swollen Members) and Classified, as well as a wide
range of DJ's and producers. The lack of quality modern rap has
awakened a beast in Vancouver - Violative Cause has risen as one of
the most critically acclaimed duo's in British Columbia, second to
none when it comes to making good music. With features in media
sources such as newspapers, radio shows, and the internet (most
recently they were featured on the CBC Music website), coupled with
their upcoming European tour, there is no stopping Lenny Diko and Lex.
Each have opposite styles, and together produce a deadly one-two punch
which is able to knock out any competitor in their way. Be on the look
out for Violative Cause.
DJ Con At age 19, with over 8 years of experience, DJ Con is the newest member of Violative Cause. He began scratching records at just 12 years old after being inspired by the late great Jam Master Jay of Run DMC. Soon after, he purchased his first set of turntables, a cheap Yamaha concoction, and from there he began to practice and develop a style of which he could eventually call his own. As a young teenager, DJ Con began entering online battles and competitions where he gained the experience needed for him to enter into the competitive local scene. He landed his first show at the Abbotsford Agri-Fair, where he met a local breakdancing crew, Floorplay. He spent the next few years with them performing at various festivals, concerts, and competitions. One year ago, Violative Cause and DJ Con were simply affiliates; Con set up shows for them in Mission, BC, his hometown, and over time he gradually became VC's official connect in that region. After spending much time with the young DJ, Lenny Diko and Lex invited DJ Con to join The Cause. DJ Con will no doubt help to push Violative Cause to bigger and better things in the near future.
