Release Infomation

RICKY j was a club MC in Montreal with DJ Kent "Majess"

Austin. After seemingly endless nights packing clubs with

the hip hop hits of the day, they had an epiphany. They

decided that they should be making some party grooves of

their own that were as good, if not better, than what they

were spinning.

They combined RICKY j.'s MC skills & personality with the

classic old skool funk, soul and disco beats that would

keep dance floors happy, sweaty and packed. Together with

various songwriters, including Jeremy "Brass" Berryman

and Raoul Compued, they came up with a series of the

demos thatincluded "No Means No". A tape landed in the

hands of Warner Music Canada who fell in love with RICKY

j's party persona and the message behind "No Means No"

and signed RICKY j last spring.

A new era begins!

eleven's first rip for EGO. Rejoice!

This rip is dedicated to sinned. Without him this release

would not have been possible. Thank him... er, ...
