Grease Monkeys

Grease Monkeys were created from the negativity that surrounded Puerto Rican/Costa Rican brothers: Drunken Monkey King (a.k.a Ic Flair), and Sars Simian (a.k.a Mekz One "The Black Mage"). "We produce music to escape our problems, but also to confront alot of the bullshit the average hoodcat faces living in the hood." says Mekz One, the older of the two "...both my brother and I have balance between us, so we use that to mold the sound."

Grease Monkeys were created from the negativity that surrounded Puerto Rican/Costa Rican brothers: Drunken Monkey King (a.k.a Ic Flair), and Sars Simian (a.k.a Mekz One "The Black Mage"). "We produce music to escape our problems, but also to confront alot of the bullshit the average hoodcat faces living in the hood." says Mekz One, the older of the two "...both my brother and I have balance between us, so we use that to mold the sound." This balance have landed the two brothers much public attention as they pursued their own distinct form of song writing and production. Using spaced-out lyricism with a twist of reality, psychodelic saturday-morning funk (courtesy of Mekz One), cutting edge nostalgia (courtesy of Ic Flair), and a revolutionary attitude that you can only expect from proud, young latin men living under the harsh conditions of inner-city life. The Grease Monkeys who hail from an area of the city known as "The Badlandz", set out to formulate an original sound, style, and movement. According to anyone who has encountered this "Dynamic-Duo", they certainly have accomplished that. When asked if they thought they had what it takes to be one of the greatest groups of all time, Ic Flair had this to say: "We are one of the greatest groups of all time, that's not arrogance, that's confidence!" Their road has been paved with many performances accredited to their tenacity and "hunger". Opening up for plenty of well respected acts such underground hip-hop powerhouses: *Killah Priest (of Wu-Tang-Clan) *Wize Intelligent (of Poor Righteous Teachers) *Cee Knowledge (of Digable Planets) and other well respected local acts such as: *Godhead The General (of THOR Takeover) *PH formally Pumpkinhead (of Brooklyn Academy) and many more. These two are well on their way to becoming the "Cypher Legends" they are often referred to as.
