I am honored to bring Studio Noize’s 1st Featured Artist – Hip-Hop Duo, Fly Gypsy. This dynamic group most definitely and undoubtedly brings the noize… that’s for sure! Their unique blend of creativeness conjoined exudes the purest art-form of Hip-Hop Soul with a twist of Eclectic Funk.
These gentlemen are not to be fooled with unless you are bobbin’ your neck loose to the rhymes and rhythms of their territory. Read on and listen as you wrap your mind around the Fly Gypsy recipe of seasonings that’s sure to please the hungry ear.
From Russia to Jamaica. The much talked-about new hip-hop duo Fly Gypsy made its first splash in late 2008 with an election-themed single that introduced the duo’s energetic, guitar-driven sound to music fans around the world and scored the duo its first TV and radio spots. The group formally launched in July 2009 with a release of the summertime single “You.” The video for the single was shot in Jamaica by Ras Kassa, acclaimed for his work with Sean Paul, Beenie Man, and Damian Marley.
Founded by the Russian-born producer and songwriter, Alexei Jendayi, and the Jamaican-born emcee, Kowboy Kom, Fly Gypsy has become an instant favorite among fans, developing a growing following thanks to its infectious beats, catchy hooks, and polished image. Music critics, meanwhile, have praised the Washington, D.C.-based duo for their ability to attract commercial appeal without compromising their musicianship or message, comparing the duo to the Fugees, Jay-Z, and Kanye West.
Kowboy Kom, the group’s vocalist, moved from Montego Bay, Jamaica to Brooklyn, New York with his family when he was still a child. Growing up in New York during the golden era of Hip-Hop, Kom was inspired by hip-hop artists of West Indian descent coming up in Brooklyn, such as Wyclef Jean, Busta Rhymes, and Notorious B.I.G. When he was in the seventh grade, Kom began to write poetry and rhyme. By his early twenties, Kom rose to become one of the nation’s best recognized spoken word artists and emcees, praised for his clever storytelling, signature style, and natural swagger. He has headlined numerous college tours, appeared on BET J, and opened for artists such as Jill Scott, Dwele, and Doug E. Fresh.

To answer this question and in my most sincere opinion – NEVER if they are SPITTING real Hip-Hop. (What’s real Hip-Hop?) That real lyrical ish! That mind blowing – hit rewind a few times to make sure you heard that ish! That head-bobbin’ neck-aching ish. That never-ending on-going authentic never heard anything like that ish!
I’ll buy you if you’re 50 and spitting that realness with a dope azz track to follow! Everyone else… oh well! Count your days!
All this jive about Hip-Hop being dead is crazy. Hip-Hop is as dead as the next emcee makes it be. Do your part! Spit some illness.
I welcome the new FLIP-STOP! But… I also believe (nah I know) that a real lyricist, word-flipper, off the dome lyrical-sayer, and any emcee who whips a track to musical little tiny bits of saw dust is something that will NEVER EVER tire with me. EVER!
I’m having a moment of missing ALL the illness of the pioneers of Hip-Hip! There’s no such thing as ‘retirement’ when it comes to these cats!
