White Hype
Posted by admin on January 26th, 2010Ivan Ives, originally from the Soviet Union, now resides in Los Angeles where he delivers his audience some of the most innovative and appealing hip-hop we’ve heard in quite some time. His adventurous songs have an underlying old school flare and are catchy on a level that transcends the predictable leanings of collegiate beats and rhymes. Ivan doesn’t mince words or unleash a torrent of expletives to underscore the immediacy of his message. His advanced and skin-tight flow unfolds with a poetic surge that is now admired and respected by his ever-growing fan base.
Covered in-depth by multitudes of various press, including Rolling Stone’s 40 artists to watch, URB’s next 1000, SPIN, XXL Scratch, RIME – the list goes on. Millions of plays and streams on the internet; tens of thousands of mixtapes and albums downloaded; 8 North American tours from 07-09.
His new project, “1st of the Month,” is unlike anything done before. On the 1st of every month for all of 2010, Ivan Ives is releasing a new single onto iTunes & AmazonMP3. At the end of the year, the 12 songs will become an album; but fans can keep up with a new song every single month.
While we are at it…check this mash up Ives track produced by D. Twyce with cuts by LockOne.
