Bio
The North Carolina native known as Sum Majere
is all Southern charm, crafted mic skill, and perhaps the most genuine
songwriter hip-hop has ever produced. With a style unprecedented,
Sum has been performing for the last ten years across the nation with
the likes of The GZA, Wu-Tang
Clan, Common, Cannibal
Ox, Rolls Royce,
Little Brother, The
Dalai Lama, MF Doom, Dead
Prez, Saul Williams,
Aceyalone, C-Rayz
Walz, and a number of others. The sum of his parts
is equal chunks bluesman, dark poet, drunken party rocker and energetic
thinker. An enormous work ethic and desire to do something that’s never been done before drive him
to make music that’s experimental, colorful, fundamental and entertaining.
Consequently he and his crew, The VJC, have been likened to OutKast and
The Pharcyde, but you will still have trouble finding a box to put him
in. Releasing the chart-topping single ‘Ninjas&Flies’ in
2006 through VJC Recordings, he cemented a presence on college radio.
Since then ears have been burning for what’s next, and he's just
getting started. Those with open minds, expect Sum to become one of the
great creative forces of this era. Appears on: 1999 'The
Dosage' EP (VJC

The Lil Folk
SumKid Majere, the bi-coastal emcee/writer/entertainer
releases yet another creation that debunks any inkling of thought
that 'Hiphop Is Dead'. 'The Lil Folk', is the only proof you need
to disprove such foolishness. This album will dust you off and set
you on the path to perfect peace, while simultaneously allowing you
to entertain multiple debaucherous pleasures. It is the maraschino
cherry drenched in your favorite flammable solution. The solution
to all that ails you. Buy
it!
