SENOR KAOS ANNOUNCES NOVEMBER 11th (11.11.11) RELEASE DATE FOR “THE KAOS EFFECT” LP, RELEASES ARTWORK, TRACK LISTING, PLUS NEW SINGLE.
The time has finally come for Atlanta emcee Señor Kaos to release his highly anticipated album via indy label High Water Music. The LP entitled The Kaos Effect shares the same name as Kaos’ website (thekaoseffect.com) which was created in 2007 as a way to connect with fans.
“The Kaos Effect album is a snap shot of my life from the years 2000 through 2010. Throughout the listeners journey you will hear stories about my trails and tribulations of becoming an artist, quitting my job to follow my passion, starting my own company, making money, losing money, traveling the world, getting evicted, and dealing with the death of a fellow solider and friend,” says Kaos.
“The title The Kaos Effect describes all the small pieces I’ve collected over a decade which now have been put together to create a great puzzle. A lot of people know me for different things. Some know me because of my website, or the Blogs, while others know me strictly through my marketing related work, and some only know me for my popular interviews with Hip Hop artists like (Ghostface, Pharoahe Monch, B.O.B., DJ Clark Kent, Little Brother, Wale, Game, etc.). So the overall goal of this record, is for me to share a piece of my story with the world so they can understand why people call Señor Kaos The Most Interesting MC In The World.”
The album is produced entirely by Atlanta mainstay Illastrate. The first song and video released from the project “Automatic Classic” is currently available for purchase on iTunes via High Water Music.
“Me and Illastrate started working on this project three years ago. At first the plan was to create an EP of 5 or 6 songs. Once we reached that goal, Illa came up with the idea to produce a full album for me. In a time where emcees look for several great producers to create a sound for their project, I chose to work with only one. When there’s one person who understands your artistry and sound, it makes the process of creating that much more easier. Illastrate is ATL’s best-kept secret when it comes to production, but hopefully he won’t be anymore once the world hears The Kaos Effect.”
In addition to Illastrate’s production the album also features guest artists: J-Live, Fresh Daily, Binkis Recs, Ekundayo, Ozy Reigns, Lyric Jones, Fort Knox and includes cuts by DJ Dainja. The album will be released in physical and digital formats on Friday November 11, 2011 (11.11.11) via New York based Indy label High Water Music. (highwaterISmusic.com).

YOOO in case you didn’t know today is officially the first day of summer. Let me welcome you to Hotlanta where it was 94 degrees earlier but it really felt like 102. As the sun set the temperature dropped in the city… that was UNTIL I opened my e-mail to the new HEAT Eddie Meeks sent over.
Eddie Meeks hit TKE off with the new sampler to his album “Cappuccino’s Unauthorized Records” as well as his new video directed by DJ Pocket.
Also I announced earlier via Twitter that I would be hosting Meeks LP release party tomorrow night here in ATL at 529 EAV. Live performances from Clan Destined, Ekundayo, and Eddie Meeks himself.
Not sure what to expect from Meeks Cappuccino’s new project. Check out the sampler below.
I’ve been waiting for this day for a while now. A few months back we started shooting the video for the song “No More” in East Atlanta. “No More” is the 3rd record on my latest project – Señor Kaos Is The Most Interesting MC In The World. It was produced by Marcotiks and the video was directed by Artemus Jenkins.
Check It Out… If you like it, you can purchase the new single as well.

ATLANTA EMCEES SEÑOR KAOS AND 4-IZE ARE ULTRA BEAST
(ATLANTA, GA – May 17, 2011) Atlanta mainstay emcees Señor Kaos and 4-Ize have teamed up to form a new group known as Ultra Beast.
When you combine the forces of two superiorly talented individuals that have not only mastered but reinvented their craft, they become a more powerful, twice as brilliant, creative super power … an Ultra Beast!
The affiliation between the two emcees spans nearly a decade in the Atlanta Hip Hop scene. “I first met 4-Ize my senior year of high school at a local MC battle. He was funny, unique and had his own style, and from that moment I knew he was somebody I wanted to work with,” said Señor Kaos about his first meeting with 4-Ize.
The two first collaborated in 2001 and again in 2003, but it would be nearly ten years later in 2009 when the pair would record together again. (what inspired the reunion?)
“We recorded one song for my project, Illuminated Animals. Next thing you know, we had four records finished for the project. We started rocking shows together and recording more music which led to this current project. It was only a matter of time before Ultra Beast was unleashed,” said 4-Ize on his musical reunion with Señor Kaos.
The two are currently recording the new project which is scheduled for release later this summer. Their first offering is a track entitled “Wind Is High” produced by New York duo the Beatminerz.
Ultra Beast’s first show is May 28, 2011 at 9 p.m. at the Five Spot along with Cunninglyguists and Homeboy Sandman in Atlanta, GA.

Back in 09 me and the homie 4-ize caught up to knock out a record for his Illuminated Animals project. We linked and wrote the joint together. The night we recorded it, we also recorded the song “Classic Example” which we eventually shot a video for. After that we knocked out several other joints and at this point we probably have at least 30 recorded tracks with each other. So it was only a matter a time before the two beasts combined to work on an official project. I present to you all… ULTRA BEAST!
On Saturday May 28th at the Five Spot at Little Five Points in ATL we will be performing some classic joints as well as some new joint we’ve been working on as well. You don’t want to miss it. There will also be performances by Cunninlyguists, Homeboy Sandman, and Dillon.
