Timing is everything and the time is now!! With the line between hip-hop and mainstream as all but disappeared, it's now The Burnaz turn to bring their music into the light. With their raw talent and charisma, which belies their youthful years, the Burnaz is ready to step into the spot light. In 1999, The Burnaz were born consisting of three members from Brooklyn, who go by the names of P.Novakane, S.V. and Vill Rawsteen. Each member gave a great deal of thought to their name. P. Novakane, yes exactly, Novakane, meaning like the drug he's numb to everyone. "I'm a lyrical poet, with many metaphors and punch lines in my rhymes." Vill Rawsteen gets his name from the Robert Deniro character in Casino because he flows tight. "I'm a hood story teller spitten what I see and paint pictures for everyone to see." S.V. stands for Stay Vicious, which is self-explanatory. His rhymes are unpredictable and raw. He uses a combination of punch lines and street lingo to get his point across. The Burnaz have been performing at local colleges and clubs to promote their upcoming album "Circle Is Tight" They've opened up for Wu Tang's Killah Army,and performed along side Doug E. Fresh. With live apperances at college radio, cable shows, and a heavy underground following from tracks laid down on several mix tapes, The Burnaz are building a name for themselves. The Burnaz lead single "Hell No, Uh Uh" which features the first lady off of Raw Inc. Candis is already in heavy rotation in the NY club scene. With club goers dancing at Club Envy, Blue Tequila or Luahn one can't seem to escape the Burnaz club banger! The track is radio friendly and has maistream appeal. The strength of the Burnaz lie in their lyrical ability, which allows them to paint pictures and bring tracks to life. In "Guess Who", Vill let's you know what he's all about. "Load your heaters/i'm in the hood with dimes and cheebah/three ninas getting brain from the baddest diva/n**** like me trying to see chips like D-Jeter/on the block with nicks and dimes/I don't mean change either." While many MC's are not able to express their personal feelings to the world, "Once Upon A Hood Life" they express what goes through their minds as they come up in the mean streets of Brooklyn. Here P. Novakane with the sounds of a soft trumpet mixed with softer piano notes, opens up to his listners. "We all/cried them tears and felt them pain/we all/put in years in this selfish game/we all/ stood with no fear with dealt the rain/no umbrella no hoody never would we show shame/my whole brain got polluted thoughts/you got to close your eyes to see all the sh*t we fought.." Of course no rap album would be complete without a track for the streets. "We Don't Give A ...." with production from NARC, and his heavy guitar rifts which give the the track a very unique rock/rap sound. Here, S.V. hold it down for the whole camp. "I'm thinking all ya'll hatin' can faze me/but I still get biz/burn spliffs/flip n*****/spit crazy/doing no less than eighty/when I come to your town/you wanna die/few clips from da pound/the snub grip will spend them around/no seing them guys/aight magic buts slugs move to swift for the eyes." The Burnaz album "Circle Is Tight" is sure to have something for everyone. Since the forming of the group two years ago, they've been evisioning coupling their skills together to make an album few would forget. The sun might not shine on their side of the block, but their music will shed light on the music industry. Remember the name "The Burnaz" simple they're all hot, burning tracks, hot verses, and just plain fire. For additional information go to www.burnaz.com
