简介
From the greatest city America ever bought, New Orleans' own Hip-Hop artist Impulss was clobbered by a vast array of bizarre influences and characters that the city is incredibly known for. Raised in Second Line parades, crawfish boils, Jazz bars and casinos, Impulss absorbed the whole world at the same time until the day he came across the tune, Funky Beat by Whodini. From that moment on Hip-Hop would be the leading lady in the life of the young MC destined for greatness. Impulss eventually moved to Atlanta to attend the local Art Institute to attain a degree in Music Entertainment Management. He became a recognizable figure in the ATL community. His clever lyrics and undeniable Crescent City swagger led to Impulss accepting an offer to record with Arista recording artists The Youngbloods on the remix for their single, U-WAY featuring Lil Wayne. During this time he worked closely with world-renowned recording artist AKON (SRC/Universal), recording rhymes on Akons tracks. Soon after, Impulss signed to the now-defunct Last Place On Earth label where he performed his brand of musical hilarity on songs with the likes of the once-codpieced Larry Blakmon, Joi, and the JB Horns until the label closed doors in 99 and Impulss headed back to N.O.LA. In the early days of the new millennium, Impulss was taken under the wing of Southern rap legend SCARFACE and received a recording budget from Def Jam South. He was flown to NYC to sit with then-Def Jam moguls Lyor Cohen and Kevin Lyles on the strength of one song, which was called by Scarface, The greatest single I have ever heard in my life for a first time artist. Unfortunately, politics of the business presided and Impulss was back in N.O.LA. plotting his next move. Persuaded by his management to go back to NY to finish recording, Impulss hopped on a plane to New York 2 months before the horrid events of 9/11. After a year of recording, Impulss made a decision to go his separate way in a gentlemanly fashion. Left to his own devices, Impulss hustled hard, placed a track on N.O.R.E.s Thugged Out Militainment mixCD/DVD What Up To The Hood, and became a regular guest rapper on 97.1s Get Bucks Radio show. With a mutual taste for debachery, Impulss connected with friend and Bush Babee Mr. Man aka Mr. Khaliyl (Monster Truck Audio/Day By Day Ent.) to create the supergroup "The Dew Dew Bruddahs," and are currently working on their E.P., "Smell My Finger - Vol. 1." In N.O.LA., Impulss kept his name on the scene by being the main music contributor for the Cox 10 cable TV program, Timecode:NOLA as well as flooding the streets with The Lagniappe Mixtape, featuring such hitmakers as N.O.R.E., Akon and others. Currently, Impulss is back in the Big Easy performing a multitude of shows with Media Darling Records and is working to drop his full-length CD entitled, Impulss Beats and Lagniappe Social and Pleasure Club, featuring Mr. Khaliyl on his own "Quarter Rat Musique" label. It is Hip-Hop to make you swallow shots, get you suspended from school, move your body, and get your rear brown-eye open. He is Confucius meets Jay and Silent Bob, Anne Rice meets Chevy Chase. With a new CD underway and a new mix CD to hit the streets, New Orleans is about to have a whole lotta fun.
