Milwaukee's Best MCs

(KLASSIK)

Twenty-something Milwaukee MCs Klassik and Oye! are a MUST-SEE. These dudes are dope and are climbing up the ladder to stardom fast.

(OYE!)

I had the privilege to be in Milwaukee last week and check out some true talent at G Daddy's BBC on North Avenue, and I must say, their show was AMAZING. They were backed by a full band— bass, keyboards, drums, synthesizer and a DJ.

Klassik is a trained jazz saxist. For the final song of their set he came out and wowed the crowd by breaking it down on the sax adding a completely different element and vibe to the room. They definitely know how to party too as they get hyphy in Oye!'s song "Party Hard" featuring Klassik.

They kept the crowd pumped and engaged, and you could tell that making good music and performing is what they love doing. Especially with songs like "Chasing the Fame," and "We Up/Everybody Down."

These guys talk about putting in the work to get where you want to be and the daily struggle. "The best part of life are the times when you struggle," Oye! raps in his remix of Phantogram's "When I'm Small."

They have shared the stage with The Cool Kids, Wale and Ludacris, the list goes on, and will continue to go on the more they open their mouths and spit fire.

Not only are they talented MCs but they are also fresh to death. They exude youth and mad skills. They are really representing Milwaukee roots to the finest.

Check out Klassik's website for a free download of his most recent EP "Death of a Beatmaker," and Oye's website for his newest EP "Brown Bomber" —also free.
